Adoptable Arlington Pet: Cuddles The Pup Needs A Forever Home

ARLINGTON, VA — If you're thinking about adopting a furry friend, consider a local humane society like the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. The shelter works with private rescue groups and other shelters to place animals where they have the best chance for adoption.

The Animal Welfare League of Arlington rescues dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and more.

One of these dogs is Cuddles, a male hound mix who is 5-months-old.

"Cuddles is an affectionate, energetic pup who is as friendly as can be. He's playful and happy and loves to meet new people," his description reads. "At five months of age he'll need some more work on basic obedience skills, but he's very food motivated so training should be a breeze. He's a striking young pup with a lot of love to give, so if you think Cuddles might be your new best friend, come down to the shelter and meet him today!"
