Adoptable pet of the week: A sweet older girl looking for a best friend

Meet Stallings, an older lady who wants nothing more than a new best friend to chill with.

This 8-year-old girl adores people, treats and a calm home. Stallings has a gentle nature and will do a sit trick for a prompt treat reward.

“She likes taking leisurely walks, followed by a luxurious long nap,” an AWLA volunteer told ALXnow. “Stallings can be a bit of a 48-pound couch potato, so if you are looking for a buddy to watch television with, she’s your girl!”

Stallings would rather spend her time snuggling than playing with toys. As a senior pup, her asks are simple — good food, a comfortable bed and a loving family.

This senior girl is awaiting her forever family while staying in a foster home. A donor has covered the adoption fees for Stallings.

Interested adopters can contact AWLA and visit Stallings during the shelter’s regular adoption hours:

  • Noon to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
  • Noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
