Sweet Morton is up for adoption

Say hello to Morton, a 2-year-old up for adoption through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

A very interesting looking dog, Morton is looking for a forever home!

The most interesting thing about Morton is that he’s hairless. He’ll definitely make the conversation starter at the local dog parks, according to AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford.

“Because he is hairless, he might also be a great fit for a family with allergies,” said Shackelford. “However, having no hair comes with some special care needs.”

Those special care needs involve doggie sunscreen when outside in the sun and some snazzy clothes in the colder months to help keep him warm.

Morton is of course worth the extra effort! His easy going nature makes him the perfect fit with other animals and children. Friendly, calm and quiet — that’s Morton!
