Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Dog Abandoned In Crate Needs Loving Home

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Olivia was terrified when she was left alone in the parking lot of the Alexandria animal shelter. Now she's ready to find a forever family who can give her some love.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria takes in all kinds of pets, from surrendered animals to stray animals without owners. Patch regularly features adoptable pets to help them find homes.

Here is more information on Olivia:

Olivia has a rough tale to tell. She was abandoned in a crate in our parking lot overnight. When she was found the next morning, she was understandably scared. Over the next few days, she warmed up to our team and started to show her sweet disposition. She can still be a bit shy when meeting new people, but once she knows she's safe, her easygoing, playful, and sometimes goofy personality shines through. She absolutely loves to get belly rubs, and she seems like she is interested in playing with toys. Olivia deserves to find a family who will love and cherish her. She's sure to be the best friend you've ever had!
