Meet Al Pal 🧡🐾
Equal parts adventure buddy, goofy sidekick, and oversized lap dog, Al is the kind of pup who makes every outing more fun.
This guy recently headed out on a couple of Pawsitive Adventures around town. River walks, car rides, sunshine, rolling in the grass, meeting new people… Al was ALL IN.
He’s active, curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s out exploring the world with his person. Volunteers shared that he did great in new environments, enjoyed seeing other dogs, played in the water, and happily hopped in and out of the car for every adventure.
Volunteer Andrea says: “Al is just joyful. He’s a total goofball and has a zest for life that I wish we could bottle. He is super active and would be an amazing adventure buddy. Once he gets his wiggles out, he loves to sit next to me and watch the world go by. Every time I look at his spots and his ‘eyeliner,’ I catch myself with a smile on my face.”
Al is still polishing up his leash manners and has plenty of young-dog energy, but he’s smart, treat motivated, eager to learn, and very easy to love.
His adoption fee has been sponsored and he’s ready to meet his future adventure buddy. Come visit Al at the HSCO Shelter, open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am to 5:30pm. All adoptable pets are listed at www.hsco.org/adopt.
