ALEXANDRIA, VA — If you're searching for a new furry friend to add to your family, consider looking at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. The organization runs the city's animal shelter, coordinates adoptions and provides services to pet owners.

Patch regularly features adoptable pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. This week's featured pet is Kaiba, an Australian Cattle Dog mix who would love to have adventures with his new family. He could accompany you on walks or runs, or simply enjoy a cuddle at home.

Here's more information from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria:

Kaiba, 2-Year-Old Male Brown and Tan Australian Cattle Dog Mix

Kaiba knows everything's better with a best bud by your side.

Australian Cattle Dog mix Kaiba is 2 years old and is ready to take on the world, with a little help from his friends. This sweet, energetic guy is open to trying all kinds of new things, from taking on a running buddy to learning how to return the ball when playing Fetch. He thinks anything is possible with a patient human friend to show him the way.

Kaiba is an affectionate fellow who likes to show his friends he cares with ample kisses, occasional hugs and planting his bottom in their laps so they can pet him the most thoroughly. He will also show off his belly to his most special friends; all the better to pet him with!

From his super-soft fur to his adorably spotted tongue, Kaiba is the full puppy package, and he can't wait to find a family who sees that. To learn more about Kaiba and schedule time to meet him, email the AWLA at

Adopt@AlexandriaAnimals.org or call 703.746.4774 (opt. 2).
