Adoptable Alexandria Pet: 3-Legged Companion Is a Gentle Giant

ALEXANDRIA, VA — It's April Fool's Day, and the shelter pets at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria are pranking us by changing their names to sillier versions.

For instance, meet Señor Squiggle Squirm, a three-legged companion with a gentle nature. This lovable dog is getting used to life with three legs after a car accident. Animals like him are available to meet through virtual and in-person appointments at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.

Here's a full description from AWLA:

Señor Squiggle Squirm, 7 Year Old, Male, Brindle Shepherd Mix

Let me introduce myself -- my name is Señor Squiggle Squirm and I am a 7 year old brindle shepherd in search of a loving family to spend my life with. I was originally found as a stray in Florida where I was hit by a car. Unfortunately, that accident resulted in the removal of my rear leg. But, no worries, like most three-legged dogs, I get along just fine. I am pretty much healed now and in the process of getting used to life on three legs. But so far, so good! I am a very chill dog and would fit in nicely with just about any family. I am basically a gentle giant with a beautiful brindle coat and the most soulful eyes you have ever seen! I would make a loyal companion and would always be by your side. The folks here at the shelter have taken real good care of me, but I am ready to move on and start the next chapter of my life. So if you are looking for a new best friend, schedule an appointment to meet me at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment. Hopefully, we will be a match!
