Aloysius Fraggleplank needs a little training, but the two-year-old blue pit bill is looking for a new home with a family that has adults and older kids.
While he’s usually known by the name Blue, Fraggleplank was recently renamed for one day only as part of an April Fools celebration by his minders at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.
“We hope to have it all sorted out by tomorrow, but I guess our adoptables are playing an April Fool’s prank on us,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “The young Mr. Fraggleplank loves his toys – the squeakier, the better – and he hopes his new home is full of them.”
Fraggleplank was joined in temporarily changing his name by Whiskers of the Frozen North, Commander Seahorse, and Goodest Boi, Esquire.
