Priscilla, a two-year-old terrier mix at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA) is a bundle of energy, but she’s sweet and hoping for a home to help her relax.
The pup is very excitable but has been training in patience and meditation with the AWLA staff, according to Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the organization.
“Priscilla is also super food-motivated,” Hardter said, “so if you are looking for even more hobbies you can take up together, she’s a willing and eager learner… where treats are involved.”
She also snuggles, but Hardter noted that she prefers not to share cuddles with another dog. Priscilla needs a home where she’s the only puppy.
