Patch regularly features adoptable pets at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. This week's featured pet is Freeda, a sweet 1-year-old dog who would do well with an active family or home with another dog.

Here's more information about Freeda:

Freeda is a 1-year-old female dog, and this sweet girl has waited too long to find a family! Since Freeda is young, she would do best with an active family or a family that has another playful dog. She has tested well with multiple other dogs here at the AWLA. She really enjoys her social play sessions. Freeda also loves toys - the squeaky, fluffy ones are her favorite. She is very treat-motivated, so she responds very well to training. Freeda also is very affectionate to people. She's really an all-around great pup!
