Fall in Love With Cupid from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

By James Cullum

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria‘s latest adoptee has a name made for love.

Cupid, an affectionate eight-month-old border collie has extra soft fur and needs a new home, said AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter.

“This pup is a love,” Hardter said.  “He still has some growing to do, but already he’s showing he’s one smart cookie. He has a great ‘Sit’ and seems eager to learn more.”
