Every day is #TongueOutTuesday for adoptable Chihuahua Aria

By James Cullum

Aria isn’t afraid to exhibit her underbite.

The 10-year-old Chihuahua is up for adoption via the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, and aside from sticking out her tongue constantly is a relatively low-key pup.

“With Aria, every day is #TongueOutTuesday,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “Not only does she ‘blep‘ frequently, but she has an adorable little underbite that she’s not afraid to show off to her friends.”
