Alexandria Pet Of The Week: A Golden Choice For The Holidays

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Pets at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria are only hoping for a forever home for the holidays. If now's the time to add a furry friend to your household, consider starting your search at the shelter.

One of the adoptable pets is Raven, a sweet and energetic girl who will melt you with her eyes and personality. She is hoping to find a new companion for walks and cuddles at home.

Here is more information about Raven:

"Raven is a gorgeous furry girl with a golden heart! This adult dog is ready to go home for the holidays and say “happy tails” to the shelter. Raven is a sweet dog with a bright personality to match her ice-melting eyes. She is four years old and weighs about 72 pounds. As a young adult dog, Raven is settling into a fun age. She has passed the rambunctious puppy stage yet still retains plenty of playful energy. She is sure to bring smiles to your days and turn heads on regular walks. Thanks to a generous donor, Raven’s adoption fees have been paid. Contact the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria to meet Raven!"
