AWLA’s Pawfect Match of the Week – Meet Hector!
Hector Seeks Someone Who Loves Cuddles, Cool Weather, and is a Big Softie
ALEXANDRIA, VA —
Gender: Male
Age: 4 years
Weight: 67 pounds
Color: White with Brown
Occupation: Professional Cuddle Buddy
Relationship Status: Single and looking for my forever human
About Me: Hey there! I’m Hector—a tall, handsome gentleman with a striking brown-and-white coat and a personality that’s even more attractive than my good looks (or so I’ve been told). I’m a pretty easygoing guy. Sure, I enjoy a nice walk around the neighborhood, and every once in a while I’ll surprise you with a spontaneous burst of zoomies just to keep life exciting. But if I’m being honest, my favorite cardio is walking over to you for pets. After a little exercise, I’m ready for my true passion: curling up beside my favorite person, leaning my big head into their lap, and collecting unlimited scratches. Belly rubs? Wonderful. Butt scratches? Even better. I’m affectionate, loyal, friendly, and happiest when I’m spending time with the people I love. Think of me as your personal emotional support teddy bear—with four paws.
Ideal Match: I’m looking for someone who believes the best adventures don’t have to be extreme. Let’s enjoy leisurely walks, lazy weekends, movie nights, and plenty of couch time together. If your home includes air conditioning, you’ve already earned bonus points. Summer hikes? We can skip those. Let’s wait for sweater weather instead.

Fun Fact:
Despite my size, I firmly believe I was designed to rest my giant head in your lap. It’s scientifically proven to make humans smile. Ready to Match? Be honest…are you looking for an adventure buddy, or are you secretly hoping to find a loyal best friend who’ll happily join you for a walk before spending the rest of the evening snuggled up by your side?
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.
