Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Alexandria, Virginia

By Your Side! My name is Brutus and I am a handsome young dog with a shiny black coat and eyes of gold who is looking for a home that I can call my own. I am a friendly guy who loves people. But when it comes to my four-legged friends, I am a little more selective. For that reason, I need to be the only dog in a home. But if you have me, you really wouldn't need anyone else! I am a smart dog who already knows the cues for sit, paw and down. And because I am so treat motivated, there is no end to what I can learn! I am an active guy who loves to run and play. One of my favorite games is fetch, but if I am being totally honest, I don't always bring the ball back. But that's just something we can work on together. I like to go on walks -- be it a stroll around the neighborhood or a hike in the woods. As long as I am with my person, I am a happy pup. If you pick me, I guarantee to give you unconditional love and endless doggie kisses.
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.
