Meet Champ, a 1-year-old dog up for adoption with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria!
Full of energy with a silly and very much lovable personality, this young pup loves his playtime and will gallop around with toys, according to AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford.
“He can be a little shy meeting new people, but warms up quickly,” said Shackelford. “Once he does, he’s an affectionate dog who will make an excellent companion.”
Champ is very active and would love a family in need of a walking, running or hiking buddy. He’s up for any adventure!
This guy would also make a great buddy for another dog. He plays well with others — canine and human. You can see how well here!
