WASHINGTON — Have a taste for something sweet? Then stop by the Washington Animal
Rescue League and
meet Candy.
This darling 5-year-old Chihuahua mix is cute as a button. But she’s feeling
a bit blue at the moment because both her den-mates have been adopted and she misses
their company.
She’s a friendly, affectionate little dog who wants nothing more than to
climb in your lap and snuggle, so she’d make a great “couch potato” companion. Candy
doesn’t need a lot of exercise, although some regular walks to help her shed a pound or
two would be appreciated.
Because of her size, she’d rather live in a home without very
young children. If you think Candy would be a good match for your “pack,” stop by the
Washington Animal Rescue League and meet her soon.
