Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Chunky The Fun-Loving Dog

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Chunky's name might throw you off if you didn't know any better. This 2-year-old dog isn't oversized by any means and is quite active. Rather, he gets his name by being a "big hunk of love," according to the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

Pets like Chunky are available for adoption at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. To seek a virtual appointment, visit AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.

Chunky, 2-Year-Old Male Brown and White Terrier Mix

Don't be fooled by his name: Chunky is called that, not because he is overweight, but because he's just a big hunk of love!

While Chunky can be shy at first, he comes around to new friends with a lot of treats and some fun new toys: the squeakier, the better! He's as happy to settle down with a toy on his bed as he is to sprint with it around the yard, and loves the opportunity to run and play!

But Chunky also excels as a Couch Potato and would be happy to join you to watch your favorite stories, and maybe an episode or two on Animal Planet. He can be a bit of a couch hog, so he'd prefer not to share with another pup, but don't worry; he's such a good cuddler, you'll be in good paws with Chunky.
