WASHINGTON – Candy is the perfect name for this sweet, 2-year-old chocolate Lab mix.
She’s friendly and social with people and dogs, and enjoys retrieving and playing with toys.
Candy arrived at the Washington Animal Rescue League from a partner shelter in southern Maryland with another dog, who has since been adopted.
Now Candy hopes it’s her turn. So if you’re looking for a loving and loyal canine companion to start the new year off right, come meet Candy.
