‘Spooky’ is Up for Adoption with Animal Welfare League of Alexandria

By James Cullum

With Halloween around the corner, this week’s Pet Pick from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is Spooky.

“At seven months old, this black lab mix is a bundle of energy who is looking for someone who is ready to match his rambunctious attitude,” said Gina Hardter, spokesperson for the AWLA. “Spooky is still young and could be very interested in training to help him grow into a polite adult dog while stimulating him mentally and physically.”

Spooky has lived with both cats and dogs, and can use a little attention.

Anyone interested in learning more about how to meet Spooky virtually or in-person can visit AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.
