Boston – 37116. 2-year-old Female, spayed. Domestic short hair. Very friendly, playful, and agreeable.
Brick – 37296. 3-year-old Male, Greater Swiss Mountain/St. Barnard. Good with other dogs and children.
Lyla – 33263 —Â Female/spayed – 60lbs – 3-4 years – Has been with the Prince William County Animal Shelter since March, 2022 which makes her by far the longest resident. Lyla is a handsome girl and a strong one! Physically she is quite the specimen! She looks like a fitness model with not an ounce of fat.
She really is impressive to look at! Lyla is quite sweet and affectionate; she loves to go for walks, and she is house trained. also, Lyla loves to meet new people, but cats or small animals are not her favorite, and will probably be most successful as an only dog.
She is a playful, fun, silly, rambunctious girl who will be a wonderful family member for a confident active person. She loves puzzles and having to use her brain to figure things out and is a whiz at learning new commands.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MDâs change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,â he explains. âAchieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.â
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. âI believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.â Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, âMy patients know Iâm always just a phone call away.â
