Meet Nova (pictured above), a delightful dog in search of her forever home! Nova is a super fun pup that is full of life and joy at four years old. This 56-pound pumpkin is made for outdoor adventures. Nova enjoys playing chase with her ball and favorite squeaky toys. We won’t call it fetch until she masters bringing it back. Nova is a playful girl and has lived with another dog in a previous home. She is also said to have very good house manners and to be crate trained, which will help with her transition. Nova likes to relax as much as she relishes staying busy, and she would be an awesome sofa buddy at the end of a long day of activities. Contact the Animal League of Alexandria to meet sweet Nova today.

Artemis is a nearly 2-year-old female kitty. She is calm, gentle and social. She gets along swimmingly with other cats, too. Her favorite activities include a Churu snack break and a long relaxing cat nap. Artemis is extra special and does require a certain prescription food. She’s looking for a special loving family who will keep her happy and healthy! Artemis’ adoption fees have been sponsored, thanks to Royal Restaurant!

Holmes is a beautiful black and white shorthaired rabbit who has been waiting far too long for a home! We believe Holmes is around 2-3 years old. He lives for treats — with veggies and timothy biscuits being his absolute fave. He is litterbox trained and likes to be a free roam bunny. His foster says he is very mannerly and doesn’t chew on anything he isn’t supposed to. He likes a booty scratch here and there. Holmes is smart and loves to play with food puzzles.
