Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Sweet Billie Jean

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Five-year-old Billie Jean will want to be your constant companion. The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria says Billie Jean “is a gentle and affectionate dog who has lived with men, women, and a teenager in a previous home.”

She's a pup who loves people, not so much other dogs. Billie Jean would prefer to be in a home where she can be your one and only.

The 63-pound pooch's other loves include tug, fetch and of course, dinner time. Then, “she loves to snuggle up on the sofa after playtime.” If you think Billie Jean could be the one for you, you're in luck: thanks to a donor, Billie Jean's adoption fees have been paid.

Billie Jean is one of 16 dogs listed at the time of publication on the AWLA shelter's website. To arrange to meet her or see any of their other available animals, contact the AWLA or visit them 4101 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA during adoption hours, which are from noon to 7 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
