Playful ‘December’ is Up for Adoption in Alexandria

By James Cullum

December the blue pit bull mix, is looking for a new home in Alexandria.

The two-year-old cuddle bug is a fan of long walks and playtime in the yard.

“December has lived with other dogs, and if you have other dogs and are interested in meeting her, we’d love to arrange time for a doggy meet-and-greet,” said AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter.

Hardter added, “December’s favorite thing is to give hugs and snuggles to the people she loves. She had a photo shoot earlier this week, but was too busy cuddling to worry about whether the photographer was getting her best side. Luckily, they are all her best sides.”

You can schedule time to meet December either in-person or virtually at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.
