ALEXANDRIA, VA — If you're looking for a new pet, consider starting your search at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. The animal shelter takes in pets and finds them new homes.

Sky is one of the adoptable pets at the shelter. This 2-year-old border collie mix can be shy at first, but the sky's the limit for how his family can get him comfortable. Once he makes friends, he'd love to receive pets and get his energy out.

Sky, 2-Year-Old Male Tan and White Border Collie Mix
The sky's the limit when you're friends with handsome pup Sky!
2-year-old Sky can be shy at first, but you'd never guess it when you see him in the company of his AWLA friends. That's when this sweet border collie mix shows off his big smile, floppy ears and the best head tilts this side of the horizon.
Sky is a young, polite dog who likes to get his energy out in bursts and then hang out with the people he loves. You'll know that you're in Sky's social circle when he ducks his head into you and asks for full-body pets.
Sky would love a family who understands how to follow his lead and make him feel comfortable in new situations. In exchange, he promises to share all his best floof with you - and it is some excellent floof. To learn more about Sky and schedule time to meet him, email the AWLA at [email protected] or call 703.746.4774 (opt. 2).
