Pet of the Week: Kreeli

WASHINGTON – Looking for a retriever-mix puppy?

This week’s Pet of the Week from the Washington Animal Rescue League is Kreeli, a 10-week-old retriever mix puppy with a great personality.

Kreeli has a soft, blonde coat that the shelter says gives the pup “movie-star looks.”

Kreeli is all puppy when it comes to play. She loves toys, meeting new friends and wrestling with her den mates.

As with all puppies, WARL recommends its Puppy Kindergarten so Kreeli and her new family have a chance to bond and so Kreeli learns some basic manners.

Every week, WTOP Living features a Pet of the Week that can be adoptedfrom the Washington Animal Rescue League. For more information about Kreeli, email adoption@warl.org or call 202-726-2556, extension 503.
