Their friends at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington had this to say:
Baxter and Brady are the true definition of best friends! These sweet guys would love to be your close companion, whether that’s chilling out on the sofa, playing in the yard, or being goofballs together.
Baxter’s favorite things are: treats, cuddling on the couch, playing outdoors, and chasing around his brother. Brady’s favorite things are: treats, resting in his crate, playing outdoors, and chasing around his brother.
His special talents are: Giving the world’s best hugs and kisses!
His perfect day would be: A morning of outdoor playtime with his brother Brady! After that he loves to cool off and relax with a frozen peanut butter Kong! Once he’s tired out, he’d like to take a quiet nap with his brother Brady.
If Baxter was an ice cream flavor, he would be: Strawberry! He’s soft and shy but full of love! If Brady was an ice cream flavor, he would be: Vanilla! He’s soft, shy, and doesn’t need any extra toppings.

Meet River, the newest Arlington Pet of the Week!
This furry girl was born in California, but now calls the Long Branch Creek neighborhood her home.
Here’s what her owners had to say about River:
As an indoor cat, she makes the most of her apartment kingdom. She enjoys chasing reflected light, laser pointers and is adept at catching flies.
On warm days, she’ll settle into a sunspot on the carpet until her fur is hot to the touch.
Although shy around strangers and unhappy in cars, she is vocal and playful with her people.
River loves stick toys, and pays close attention whenever someone ties their shoe laces. She enjoys burrowing under blankets to sleep for hours, and is happiest when snuggling on a lap.
River is particularly proud of her tuxedo coloring and symmetrical handlebar mustache.

The newest Adoptable Pet of the Week is Leoni!
This girl is looking for a loving home to live out her retirement years in. She is currently in foster through the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.
Her friends had this to say about her:
Leoni is a sweet-natured golden girl that is looking to live out her retirement years in a peaceful, quiet environment where she can sit quietly and enjoy the comforts of her laundry basket.
Leoni’s favorite things are: Your comfiest laundry pile.
But she’s not so into: Mealtime interruptions. You binge Netflix, she binges Purina. To-may-to, to-mah-to.
Her special talents are: Minding her manners and snoring.
Her perfect day would be: Leoni is a senior gal, so she would be the perfect companion to someone who has left hustle culture behind!
If Leoni was an ice cream flavor, she would be: Strawberry. An underrated classic!
Important facts about Leoni: Leoni is pretty easy to care for — she eats well and uses her litter box without issue. She is aging and needs some help grooming the spots she can no longer reach (don’t we all).
Leoni has met children (no problem) and dogs whilst in foster care. Our team is happy to discuss how she might do in a new home when you arrive for your appointment!

Are you searching for a small furry companion to take naps with? Meet Peach, the newest Adoptable Pet of the Week!
Peach is up for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. She is currently in foster and this is what they had to say about her:
A cat in her past life, Peach can be seen perched atop your windowsill keeping watch or napping, laying on or near your work desk, curled on top of your couch cushions, or sprawled across your pile of clothes on the floor. But don’t let this fool you, Peach is a tried and true velcro-dog.
Her favorite thing is you. Period. But she will also accept peanut butter, fruit, and meat as payment for her loyalty, as well as lots of face scratches.
Peach can nap like nobody’s business, help you make excuses to stay in bed for cuddles, and make herself comfortable literally anywhere, including in your arms when the world feels overwhelming for her. That said, at any moment’s notice, she can be up and ready to go for a walk, hike, or swim and have a blast. She is fascinated by the world and appreciates adventurous strolls where she can hop around like a bunny while happily sneezing up a storm, but doesn’t always need them since she’s happiest wherever you are.
Sometimes strangers can look big and scary looming over her tiny body. So she would rather sneak a couple sniffs in when they’re not looking and let them earn her trust on her own time, ’cause she knows she’s worth it. Peach is excellent at spotting wildlife and other dogs, but might need your help to bring her back down to earth (literally, her front feet can in fact leave the ground).
Her foster brother is a 60lb pit mix, and we’ve found that having another dog at home can give her a little confidence boost, but isn’t necessary since she only has eyes for you. She’s reported to have positive and friendly interactions with children, but we have not observed her living with cats yet.

Say hello to the curious bunny named Franscisca.
This sweet girl is currently in foster and can’t wait to find her forever home!
Her friends at Animal Welfare League of Arlington wanted to share a few tidbits about her:
She is litter box trained, gentle and tidy.
She loves to get out to explore and enjoys pets on her head and attention from her people. Francisca relaxes in her space and enjoys her food and treats.
Franscisca’s perfect day would be lounging and then getting out to play and explore before lounging again! If Franscisca was an ice cream flavor, she would be Black Cherry. Beautiful and sweet!
Franscisca is not so into missing her playtime. She is a very sweet and funny bunny and we hope she will find her forever home soon.
Franscisca has not met other pets whilst in our care, but has been exposed to children. She enjoys the company of the children and willingly accepts their attention.

Meet the newest Adoptable Pet of the Week, Sherry!
Her friends at Animal Welfare League of Arlington had this to say about her:
When Sherry isn’t finding the coziest hiding spaces to nap in, she is asking for head and butt scratches.
Sherry has some of the softest fur you will ever feel, and she loves staring at you with her big beautiful eyes when you’re petting her. She loves to bay around her catnip banana and she likes to wiggle on carpeted floor.
Sherry is definitely a nocturnal cat and likes to sleep most of the day. You can find her curled up in the warmest spots tucked away. At night, she will request cuddles before posting up at the window to engage in her night watching.
Is Sherry the companion for you? Learn more about Sherry by checking out her complete profile.

Welcome the new arrivals at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, which are getting ready for adoption.
“We received 16 dogs from a group of 60 that were rescued from commercial breeders/puppy mills in the Midwest and flown to Virginia to start their new lives,” said AWLA’s Chelsea Jones. “We have a group of French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Corgis, and more.”
One of those 16 dogs is Pretzel, an adorable Corgi who may be a bit shy but has the fluffiest fur. This fluffy pup has had a long journey and is going to need a welcoming forever home!
Pretzel, along with the other arrivals need time to settle and rest, and applications are not available yet.
AWLA is accepting donations to help these new arrivals with medical care, food, grooming and more.

Welcome Fred Lee, the newest Adoptable Pet of the Week!
This gentleman is an 8-year-old Terrier mix who is searching for his forever home.
His friends at Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation had this to say:
Meet Fred Lee, also known as Freddie! Does he look familiar? He stole the show last year during a FOX 5 Zip Trip segment.
This sweet 8 year old senior has undergone quite the medical transformation — his teeth have been taken care of and he has fully recovered from his heartworm treatment. He now stands stronger and fuller (just by a couple pounds) than ever!
He is a total love bug with a calm and easy attitude. Freddie can’t resist a snooze in a good sun spot or a soft dog bed. His ideal spot is next to his human. He has not met a person nor a dog he does not like.
He’s a gentle, loving boy who is ready to be entirely devoted and loyal to you. As a senior, his mellow habits and personality are well-established.
Is Fred Lee the mellow companion you’ve been looking for? If interested in starting the adoption process check out his complete profile to learn more!

Say hello to Clayton, a 3-year-old Retriever Labrador mix who is a treasure to have!
This goofy boy is the newest Adoptable Pet of the Week and is looking to bring lots of joy and laughs to his forever home.
Clayton’s friends at Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation had this to say:
Are you ready to win the jackpot!? If you are patient enough to get to know the real Clayton, you’ll realize you’ve hit gold.
As his old English name and bowtie indicate, Clayton appears to be a proper, distinguished gentleman. In reality, this knucklehead will always put a smile on your face and keep you laughing. He’s a real cuddlebug who showers his humans with love and loyalty.
Clayton is seeking an experienced partner who enjoys exercise and continues his training. He is housebroken, crate-trained, and knows some cues (sit, stay, place, and break).
Currently, he is working on his leash manners and walking with a loose leash. He loves playing with other dogs as long as his humans make the proper introductions to his new dog friends.
Is Clayton a match for you? Check out his complete profile to learn more!
