Pet of the Week: Jacquard

WASHINGTON – Meet Jacquard! This four year old Pomeranian came to the Washington Animal Rescue League from a rescue partner.

Jacquard is very sweet girl who loves to cuddle, making herself at home in your lap or sitting right next to you.

Her small stature and flowing black fur make her a wonderful lap dog.

She would prefer a home with adults or older children. Stop by the Washington Animal Rescue League and help us find a forever home for Jacquard!
