Does your dog act a fool on a leash? Do they lose their mind when someone comes to the door? Is trimming their nails a nightmare? Do you want some help?
Enrollment will open Sunday, April 7 for the second cohort of our low-cost (but high value!) Alexandria Animal Academy dog behavior and training community courses.
The canine courses have been crafted to teach pets and people to live better - and more harmoniously - together. The courses are taught by our Behavior and Training Coordinator Alli Holte.
There are three courses to choose from - Confidence Building, Chill Out, and Leash Reactivity. You can choose one, two, or all three. The 8-week virtual classes will begin May 5. You do not have to be an Alexandria resident to participate.
Find more information about the classes, including cost, and watch a Zoom info session here: https://alexandriaanimals.org/alexandriaanimalacademy

Who's that girl? 🤩 🐾 That's what everyone is asking when they see adoptable Tajae!
One thing is undeniable ... Tajae has a heart-melting grin that pairs perfectly with her wrinkly, smoochable face. She is joy and happiness in dog form!
Tajae is quick to greet new visitors and counts them instantly among friends. And at 10-years-old, she's still up for adventures and walks, but relaxing on the couch is equally as appealing.
We know from Tajae's previous home that she is housetrained and has lived harmoniously with another dog. (We can facilitate doggie meet and greets with potential adopters here at the shelter to make sure it's a good match.)
We're open today from noon until 7 p.m. for meet and greets. Come by and see us!

Update! Oreo's adopted!
ADOPTABLE OREO 🖤🤍 This pup is as sweet as the cookie she was named after. And frankly, we're surprised she hasn't been scooped up yet!
Oreo is 5 months old and weighs 22 pounds. Besides being deliciously cute, she loves to play with toys and is excelling at her clicker training. She adores everyone she meets and instantaneously becomes a lap dog if you plop down on the ground with her. She does well with other dogs, too!
Oreo would love to find a family who has some extra time to spend taking her on walks or runs, playing with her, and continuing to work on her puppy training. She's a smart, motivated dog and has taken well to training at the shelter.
We're open today from noon until 7 p.m. for meet and greets. Come by and see her!

Due to the recent URI symptoms we experienced, we had to suspend all incoming canine transfers from our rescue partners. This was a huge bummer for us, our partners, and the dogs we helped through the transports, but necessary to keep everyone safe and healthy. Now that the nasty URI bug is in the rearview, we have officially lifted our dog transport hold! 🎉
This weekend, we were thrilled to welcome 13 dogs from our friends at truefaithfulpetrescuemission!
❗️Please note that the dogs pictured are not available just yet, but they will be very soon. If you're interested in one of them, keep an eye on our adoptable animals page at www.AlexandriaAnimals.org/adopt. Newly available animals are typically added each morning. We would expect them to become available throughout the week.❗️
