ALEXANDRIA, VA — As spring approaches, there's no better time to look for a furry friend to enjoy the outdoors with.

Patch regularly features pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, which shelters pets in need. One of the adoptable pets is Lou, a 2-year-old dog who's ready to pose for spring photoshoots with a new family. While he's a master at posing for the camera, he's also learning tricks and enjoys being active.

The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria offers virtual and in-person appointments to meet pets at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.

2-year-old aspiring model Lou is working on all his angles! Lou knows he's a handsome fellow, but he also knows it takes more than looks to get you far in life. That's why he's working on his brain too. Already during his stay at the AWLA, he's learned Sit and Shake, and he's such a clever fellow that he can't wait to take on his next trick - maybe with the help of his new human best friend(s). Lou is working to keep in peak physical shape, from long walks to dashing around the yard, and he thinks that an active lifestyle of hiking or running with a buddy could be just what he's looking for. Plus, he likes some good interval training in the form of Fetch and Tug-of-War, but those are really activities you take on with a friend...maybe you? If you'd like to learn more about how to meet Lou, visit AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment. I'm ready for my close-up!
