Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Alexandria, Virginia

Hi! My name is Amma and I am a super sweet young dog who is looking for a home where I can love and be loved. I came to the shelter as a local stray and am now ready to find a home that I can call my own. I am a very social girl who loves everyone I meet. My tail is perpetually wagging! I love going on walks and have been told that I have very good leash manners. I would prefer to be your one and only doggie princess! I do a nice sit for my treats and because I am so treat motivated any training you may want to do should go smoothly. I am a fairly chill dog who would like nothing better than to snuggle with my new best friend at the end of a long day. But don't get me wrong, I also like to play and enjoying chasing balls and squeaky toys. I am also at a really nice age as I am just past the puppy stage but still young enough to enjoy an active lifestyle with my new best friend. So if you think I could be the one for you, let's meet and see if we have a connection.
Thanks to a generous donor, my adoption fees have been paid! Learn more about our Adopt It Forward program!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
