ALEXANDRIA, VA — There are plenty of adoptable pets at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria's animal shelter, including senior pets.

Patch regularly features adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. One of these available pets is Tuffy, a senior dog who would love a relaxing life with his new family.

Here is more information from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria:

"Tuffy brings 13 years of valuable life experience to the position of being your next best friend. This sweet senior guy is ready for a leisurely retirement. Tuffy weighs just 14 pounds and could be a constant companion to his next human. He is a calm dog who enjoys taking short, sniffy walks followed by long naps. Tuffy is a loving boy and would make a great lap dog, enjoying hours of gentle petting. He appears to get along well with other small dogs and may be comfortable accompanying you to a variety of environments due to his compact size. Contact the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria today to meet this handsome gentleman!"
