Alexandria Pet Of The Week: A Social Senior Companion

ALEXANDRIA, VA — There's nothing like bringing a new dog home to make many memories with over the years. But sometimes, there are senior dogs in need of a new home to live out their golden years.

One of these adoptable seniors from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria is Shyla, whose social personality doesn't match her name. She gets along well with dogs and humans alike.

Here's more information about Shyla:

"Meet Shyla, a social senior looking to settle into her permanent home. At 12 years old and 63 pounds, Shyla is spry and interested in exploring the world around her. She gets along well with other dogs and would love to be praised and petted every day by her human fan club. Shyla enjoys mealtimes and wouldn’t say no to an “extra” treat or three to tide her over! This golden girl is ready to get comfortable by your side."

Adoption hours at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria (4101 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA) are noon to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information on adopting from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, visit alexandriaanimals.org.
