Marianne had been indicating she would like a canine buddy and her wishes were fulfilled with a play date yesterday! We will be posting pictures of Maryanne's play date later today. Maryanne has been waiting quite sometime for her human lovematch. She has been spayed through the generosity of Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck Thank you A.W.L!

Dillon is a special 8 year old ginger tabby ready to find his forever home.
He has made tremendous improvements since coming into our care, acting younger and happier, and his energy and appearance have drastically improved. Sadly, Dillon is FIV positive, but we want to assure you this is not a scary diagnosis. Dillon can live with other cats, as he is a calm boy and is not a "scrappy kitty" (meaning he doesn't initiate fights). FIV is transmitted through bite wounds, not through casual contact like sharing food, water, or litter boxes. With a stable, non-aggressive home, Dillon can safely live among other kitties. With good care, FIV-positive cats can live a long, normal, and happy life. The key is keeping him indoors and ensuring regular vet check-ups.
Dillon thriving is proof that FIV-positive cats can be healthy and vibrant friends. Dillon is a gentle guy who likes to keep to himself. He's looking for a quiet, patient home where he can have his own space to relax. He deserves a wonderful home to spend his golden years. Please come meet Dillon at Northern Neck Partners for Pets today and see how happy and thriving he is. 🧡

💖 Nala is our resilient 14 year old with a new lease on life, ready to enjoy her best years in a loving home.
Nala arrived at our shelter after her owner passed away, and was in rough shape. But, this sweet girl is already on the fast track to healthier days and feeling better than ever. She has a pep in her step and super cute energy. Nala is great with other dogs her size and cats, but is not too fond of smaller dogs. She adores stuffed animal toys and enjoys her walks. Nala loves attention and will soak up all the cuddles you can give. This angelic girl deserves to spend her golden years cherished, not in a shelter. Please share and
Help us get this deserving senior love bug into a forever home ASAP. You can meet her today at

🎃👻 Keep Halloween fun — and safe — for your furry friends! 🐾
Before the trick-or-treaters arrive, take a moment to check out these 5 Pet Safety Tips from the Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck.

🍫 Keep the candy far away — even sugar-free treats can be toxic!
🎭 Only dress up your pet if they’re comfortable in costume.
🚪 Keep pets indoors and away from open doors.
🏷️ Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip info are up to date.
🕯️ Keep curious noses and tails away from candles and pumpkins.

If you think your pet has eaten something harmful, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 immediately.

💚 Stay safe, have fun, and give your pets an extra treat (the safe kind)!
