Just like fine wine, I get better with age! And at 12, I’m the perfect balance and blend for someone who’s looking for a buddy for short walks, reading, and watching Netflix. Don’t get me wrong – I still have quite a bit of energy after those short walks but might just need a nap afterwards, ideally in your lap. And I love meeting little four-legged guys like me.

Ideal Match
The thing about us seniors is we really don’t ask for a lot: a warm bed, some good food and short walks and we are good! I am going to make a great companion for some lucky person. A quiet – but never boring – home is just what I need! So if you think you could be that person, let’s meet and see if we have a connection. I will be right here at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria waiting!

Fun Fact:
I may be older but I’ve not lost my appetite. Bring on the occasional snack!

My adoption fees are paid and I will be spayed or neutered before you take me home.
