Rescue Me: Torque The Dog Is 'A Top-Notch Snuggler'

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Some dogs are smart. Others are athletic. But some special pups like Torque manage to be both.

Torque is a 3-year-old dog who is available for adoption now through the Fredericksburg SPCA and their partnership with Pets for Patriots. Pets for Patriots works to connect veterans with homeless animals and provide support for them throughout the adoption process.

"Torque is one of the Forget-Me-Not dogs that is listed on Pets for Patriots because he's been homeless since May," the Fredericksburg SPCA said "He is 3 years old and athletic as can be."

Torque is a strong dog who lives up to his name. He enjoys running, playing, and burning off energy where he can. Due to his blend of intelligence and athleticism, staff members at the Fredericksburg SPCA noted that Torque could become an agility dog.

"Our Behavior Coordinator has been teaching him new skills and he's so far mastered sit and stay," the SPCA said. "He is a top-notch snuggler that loves his fuzzy blankets, being pet, and sharing snacks!"

More information about Torque and other adoptable cats and dogs is available on the Fredericksburg SPCA's website.
