Adoptable Pet of the Week: Crystal, with ‘ears that could hear signals from space’

Meet Crystal, a good girl with endearingly pointy ears who is waiting to meet her future family at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

The three-year-old dog weighs 56 pounds and is easily spotted by her brown brindle patches and “ears that could hear signals from space,” an AWLA volunteer wrote. The four-legged pal is full of energy and fond of squeaky toys.

“As a young adult dog, Crystal is past the rambunctious puppy stage and still has plenty of energy for adventures,” the volunteer wrote. “She would be a great hiking or running buddy, and she would bring tons of joyful curiosity to every outing.

Crystal is known for her good house manners and friendly demeanor, even around kids.

“If you are looking for an affectionate companion to accompany you through years of fun activities and cozy sofa evenings, Crystal could be your girl,” the volunteer wrote. “Contact the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria to meet Crystal today.”

Crystal can be visited during the shelter’s regular adoption hours.
