ALEXANDRIA, VA –

Gender: Female

Age: 5 Years
Weight: 63 pounds

Color: Tan

About Me:Hi, I’m Billie Jean—five years young, 63 pounds of charm, and a certified professional cuddler. I’ve got a gorgeous tan coat with white accents and a face that can absolutely convince you it’s dinner time (even when it’s not). I’m a people-first kind of girl—I love being close, whether we’re playing tug, chasing a ball, or snuggled up on the couch after a long day. I’ve lived with all kinds of humans before and get along great—I just really thrive when my person is around a lot. Think of me as your loyal sidekick, shadow, and snuggle buddy all rolled into one.

Ideal Match:You’re someone who’s home often and wants a constant companion—because let’s be honest, everything is better together. You’re down for a little playtime (fetch partners especially encouraged!) but also appreciate a good couch cuddle session. Bonus points if you’re looking for a one-and-only kind of relationship—I prefer to be your sole furry love so I can soak up all your attention.

Fun Fact: My puppy-dog eyes are so convincing, I’ve been known to negotiate earlier dinner times… and win.

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.
