Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Dash Is Quick To Win Your Heart

ALEXANDRIA, VA — At Patch, we regularly feature adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

One of the adoptable pets is 5-year-old dog Dash. He lives up to his name in a couple ways. He is a quick learner and will be quick to win over your heart. Dash may be past his puppy stage, but he has plenty of energy to win a tug-of-war game.

Here's more information on Dash from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Dash is a 5-year-old, 47-pound male dog with the neatest, beautiful brindle coat and expressive pointy ears. Dash is a very social, friendly guy who has lived with young children in his previous home. His former owner says that he has wonderful house manners and is crate trained. Dash is past the puppy stages, but still has the right amount of energy and is always up for a game of tug-of-war or walk around the neighborhood. Dash does very good with his "check in" behavior on walks, making sure to look at his handler when requested. He also has very good leash manners and is easy and enjoyable to take on walks. Dash knows "sit" and "paw." Our volunteers report that Dash is very smart and a quick learner.
