Aquiles - Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Roanoke, Virginia

Meet Aquiles! Aquiles is 7 years old and one of 16 dogs who recently made the journey to us from Puerto Rico in search of a brighter future. Most of these dogs were either abandoned or living on the streets before being taken in and given a second chance.

They’re all sweet as can be and have already been through a lot of change lately. A little patience and understanding from their new family will go a long way as they settle into home life and learn the ropes. One fun thing to know: they obviously learned Spanish first! Using a few Spanish commands during their transition may help them feel more comfortable and confident as they adjust to their new life!

Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
