Pets of the Month – January 2026

By Erin Shackleford

Are you looking for a most handsome companion? Max is ready to go home as your loyal and loving sidekick. This gorgeous guy with his perfectly mismatched ears weighs 73 pounds at 3 years old. Max is a social dog and is eager to please, already responding to the cues for sit and down. He is food-motivated and could learn more through the power of treats and loving attention. Max is playful and engages enthusiastically with chew toys and food puzzles. This smart guy would benefit from having a fenced yard where he could play, sun himself, and do some training. Max is a leaner and a cuddler! He frequently sidles up for some pets and scratches. Email adoptions@AlexandriaAnimals.org to arrange a meet and greet!

Yang is ready to hop into your heart! This flopsy lady is sure to come over when you offer a timothy hay treat. Yang was transferred to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria from a different shelter, and we are still learning about her quirky personality. She may not have been treated kindly in the past and is learning to trust humans. A patient bunny-lover who could continue to offer Yang new treats and gentle attention would be ideal for her journey. If you pretend not to notice, Yang may even jump into your lap. She enjoys hanging out on the bed with her foster mom as they each do their own thing. Yang enjoys a good head scratch right now and definitely believes that she deserves the attention. Email adoptions@AlexandriaAnimals.org to arrange a meet and greet!

Charlie is a two-year-old black cat with movie-star looks and the personality to match. His silky-soft coat and fluffy tail tend to stop people in their tracks, but it’s his lively, affectionate nature that truly wins hearts. Sweet, social, and endlessly curious, Charlie thrives on companionship. He happily welcomes pets and head rubs and makes it known when attention is due. Treats like Churu are high on his list of favorites, as are catnip toys he can bat across the room with enthusiasm. An explorer at heart, Charlie enjoys stretching his legs and investigating every nook and cranny of his surroundings. A sunny window to watch the world go by would be the icing on the cake. Charlie is currently in a foster home, where his foster caregiver can share even more about his charming quirks. He’s ready to explore a new home and is searching for an awesome person to share his next chapter. Email adoptions@AlexandriaAnimals.org to arrange a meet and greet!
