Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Gentle Senior Needs Home For Holidays

ALEXANDRIA, VA — This holiday season, pets at the animal shelter would love nothing more than a forever home.

If you're looking for a furry friend to add to your family, consider starting your search at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. The animal shelter coordinates adoptions for pets and provides animal services in the city.

One of the available pets is Leroy, a gentle senior who would like a new home to spend his golden years in.

Here's more information on Leroy from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria:

Leroy is a 8-year-old sweet senior gentleman who is looking for a retirement home. Leroy is very calm and easygoing with a loving, patient demeanor. His big brown eyes and frosty face are heart melting. Leroy has gotten along with other dogs, even small ones, here at the AWLA. He has also gotten along well with cats in his foster home. Leroy walks a little slower, but he still enjoys a leisurely, short stroll. But above all, he LOVES a fluffy, cozy bed to snooze the day away in. Leroy very much prefers to stick close to the humans he loves. They say with age comes wisdom, and Leroy has plenty of that. He knows the cues for sit, down and paw. Leroy is really spectacular!
