Adoptable Alexandria Pet: Mickey Loves Naps Above All

ALEXANDRIA, VA — If you're considering adding a pet to your family, take a look first at the adoptable shelter pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. The shelter takes in pets in need and finds them new homes.

One of the available pets is Mickey, a handsome dog who needs a new family after being in the same family since his puppy days. He loves people and has been with kids, but he'd prefer to be the only dog in the home. While he enjoys taking walks, he loves napping and snuggling most of all.

AWLA offers virtual and in-person appointments at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.

Here's a full description of Mickey from AWLA:

Mickey, 11 Year Old, Male, Black and White Pit Bull Terrier

Hi there! My name is Mickey and I am a handsome 11-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who is searching for a new best friend after living with the same family since I was a puppy. My foster parents can attest to the fact that, while I love walks and adventures, my favorite things are to sleep and snuggle on the couch! I haven't had a single accident in my foster home, I don't bark much (though I do grumble when I'm getting comfy), I don't mind taking naps when my humans are out and I'm a very polite leash walker. I love people, and I like to follow my humans around the house, but I am more selective about my four-legged friends, so I would do best being the only dog in a home. I enjoy being around people and have lived with kids in my previous home. So, if you think we could be a match, make an appointment to come see me. I can't wait to meet you!
