Meet your new best friend, Zoey – this week’s adoptable dog of the week.
Zoey, a 12-year-old mixed-breed female, is currently available for adoption from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (AWLA).
“Zoey is a sweet and affectionate girl looking to settle into a comfortable home for her golden years,” the AWLA shared with ALXnow. “Though she’s a senior pup, Zoey loves going for walks, playing with squeaky toys, chasing balls, and (on occasion) bringing them back! Zoey has excellent leash manners, is house-trained, and, as reported from a previous guardian, does well when left home alone for a few hours. She’s also shared a home with children and infants, so she could be a great fit in a home with younger kids”.
On their website, the AWLA shares the following in Zoey’s bio.
Looking for a super sweet senior to spend your days with? Well look no further — my name is Zoe and I am a 12-year-old sweetheart of a dog looking for the perfect retirement home. But just to be clear, even though I am a little older, I still have plenty of energy. I am a playful girl who loves to play with toys, especially if the squeak! I also like to play fetch, but if I am being totally honest, I don’t always bring the ball back to you! I am also a very affectionate dog who has lived with an infant in my previous home. I enjoy leisurely walks and have been told that I have very good leash manners. I like to explore when out and about and enjoy sniffing everything I come across. I also have very good house manners and can be left alone for several hours at a time without any problems. In general, I am a great dog and anyone would be lucky to have me! So if you are looking for a dog who is pretty chill, but can also be playful at times, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to meet you.
Zoey is currently in a foster home, but those interested in her can arrange a meeting by emailing [email protected] or by calling 703.746.4774, option 2.
Thanks to a generous donor, Zoey’s adoption fees have been paid.
So, if you are looking for a calm, easy-going companion who can also be playful, Zoey might be just right!
