Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Lovable Champ Makes A Perfect Companion

ALEXANDRIA, VA — At the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, there are plenty of adoptable pets for all kinds of families.

Those looking for a dog can find a no-brainer choice in Champ. This one-year-old dog has a silly and playful nature that can keep you entertained. He won the hearts of summer campers at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, and he's hoping to win a family's heart and find his forever home.

Here's more information on Champ provided by the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria:

Champ is a 1-year-old male dog with a silly, loveable personality. As a young pup, he has an energetic zest for adventure. His goofy playtime yard sessions are a sight to behold as he gallops all around the yard playing with sticks, toys and whatever else intrigues him. He's an affectionate dog who will make an excellent companion. Champs' new family would be willing to take him on walks, runs, hikes or other adventures to keep him active. Champ tested well with multiple other playful dogs here at the AWLA. They had a blast running together and splashing in the pool, so if you have another playful dog at home, Champ could be a great addition!

A few weeks ago, our Summer Campers FELL IN LOVE with Champ. We think the feeling was mutual. Champ really enjoyed the kiddos ability to throw toys endlessly! We had one particular camper take a strong liking to Champ. She even purchased him a toy with her own money and brought it to the shelter for him. She also included him in her artwork. Here's a social video we did with Campbell and Champ.
