Animal Welfare League of Alexandria: American Bulldog Pablo Needs a New Home

By James Cullum

Pablo might have a droopy face, but that doesn’t stop the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria’s latest adoptee from smiling.

“Weighing in at more than 115 pounds, American Bulldog Pablo wants everyone to know that he is the perfect size for a lapdog,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA. “Some big dogs are all energy, but this 3-year-old is all about leisure. He’s content to enjoy a lie-in on a comfy bed or couch, snuggle up with some friends and maybe sneak a treat or two while enjoying a movie marathon.”
