Pet of the Week: Sinbad

WASHINGTON – Meet Sinbad! Sinbad is an extremely handsome 2-year-old Rottweiler who came to WARL from a partner shelter in Baltimore.

His playful demeanor is complimented by his absolute love of people. Always in the mood to play, he loves his tennis ball.

Sinbad is a big boy, so a confident, experienced adopter would be best for him, and a home without small children would be ideal.

Because Rottweilers are “working” dogs, Sinbad would do well in a home where he has a regular list of chores. He likes a schedule of taking walks and finding his ball.

Come on by the Washington Animal Rescue League and meet Sinbad.

About WARL: Founded in 1914, the Washington Animal Rescue League is the oldest animal shelter in Washington D.C. Its mission includes rescuing, rehabilitating and finding homes for animals who have no where else to go. The League also supports animals through affordable veterinary care, community outreach and education. Learn more about the Washington Animal Rescue League at www.warl.org.
