Pet of the Week: Aubrey

WASHINGTON – Aubrey is a darling little 2-year-old female Yorkshire terrier mix, perhaps with a bit of silky terrier DNA thrown in.

A local D.C. girl, Aubrey is friendly, energetic and maybe a tad shy when she first meets someone new. But give her a little time and she’ll be your best friend.

This pint-size pup also likes other friendly dogs. So if you’re looking for a cute canine companion, stop by the Washington Animal Rescue League and meet Aubrey.

WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. For more information about Aubrey, email adoption@warl.org or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.
