Weight: 57 pounds

Color: Black with white

About Me:
I’m still a pup and would love a home where I can get lots of love, plenty of exercise and cuddles galore. Long walks and hikes? Check. Exploring the outdoor world? Check.  I am a curious guy who likes walks and exploring the world around me. I am seriously playful and love to toss toys around. My favorite game is tug-of-war. Love that paw-to-hand struggle! Since I am still pretty young, I need someone who will continue with my training so I can be the best dog I can be.

Ideal Match:

I want to be the center of your attention! So, I do need to be the only four-legged family member in your home and would really fit into an adult-only family or one with older kids. A home like that with plenty of activity (Tug-of-war! Tug-of-war!) would be an amazing bonus! If I sound like your forever dog, please contact the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria today.

Fun Fact:

I’m really smart so I need mental stimulation and I like to figure things out for myself. Bring on the treat puzzles and snuffle matts!

My adoption fees are paid, and I will be spayed or neutered before you take me home. I am available for adoption from my foster home! To learn more about meeting me, email [email protected] or call 703.746.4774, option 2.
