Adoptable hound ‘Able’ is as smart as she is cute, says AWLA

Able might look big in her picture, but she’s a petite princess, says the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

The four-year-old tricolor hound mix weighs in at just over 25 pounds, and her favorite games are “Fetch” and “Tug.”

“She has a cute little hound head and body, but the legs of a much shorter pup,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “She loves a good treat and could be motivated to learn a lot more games — for the right reward.”
