Say hello to this sweet and very huggable dog, Huggies!
This all black pup is up for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria and is currently in foster.
Huggies is very comfortable and confident, and also housetrained, according to AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford. He loves playtime, exercise and is very responsive to commands.
“He does need some additional work on his leash manners,” said Shackelford. “We think he would thrive as an only pup in the home.”
Huggies loves affection and is always up for some cuddles!
If you’re interested in meeting Huggies, emailĀ [email protected] or call 703-746-4774, option 2. And be sure to check out his entire profile!
