ALEXANDRIA, VA –

Gender: Female

Age: 3 years
Weight: 93 pounds

Color: White

About Me: Don’t mistake my beauty for aloofness. I’m friendly and sweet and will bring gentle energy into your home. In fact, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) describes me as “pure love.” And I admit to being quite big and beautiful and fluffy – I have a stunning long white coat that is ultra soft and a face that is hard to resist. And yet I am a pretty chill girl who gives the best hugs! I love all people, especially if they are petting me and want to play with me. I enjoy both walks and taking multiple daily naps, and I absolutely loved playing in the snow last month!

Ideal Match: My ideal match gives me 100% of their love and attention and I need to be the only dog in the house. But if you have me, you really wouldn’t need anyone else! I have very good house manners and can be left alone for several hours without any issues. My only ask is that I need regular brushings and the occasional grooming to keep me at my beautiful, fluffy best. You really can’t go wrong with me,  I can’t wait to meet you!

Fun Fact: The AWLA is hosting an “Adopt Me, I’m Irish” promotion starting Saturday, March 14, through St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, March 17. Fees will be waived for all small animals, dogs and cats aged 6 months and older thanks to sponsorship by Petco Love.”

My adoption fees are paid and I will be spayed or neutered before you take me home. To learn more about me or meet me, contact the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria by emailing [email protected] or call 703-746-4774, option 2.
