BRATWURST NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Bratwurst and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (1/4) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Alexandria, VA (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!     Name: Bratwurst         Best Guess for Breed: Basset hound and terrier mix  Best Guess for Age: 3 years as of September 2025         SEX: Female   Approximate Weight:  28 lbs   Gets Along With: Bratwurst would do best in a home without cats, young kids, or other dogs.   Currently Living at:  DC area boarding facility.   Check out this video of Bratwurst: https://youtube.com/shorts/4-q1HiNIjig.   Bratwurst is Looking For:   Her forever family! This absurdly cute low-low rider is in her prime as a young adult dog and is eager to explore the world by her humans' side - and to get all those snuggles and cuddles after a long day together. She promises adoring gazes (with or without head tilt), happy little tail wags, and loyal companionship for all her days in exchange. What do you say? Is she the one you see way down there by your side?What My Foster Says About Me:  Bratwurst is the sweetest, most loving, most snuggly girl! Don't let her size fool you, she is an energetic little lady who loves to explore, go on walks, and is doing well learning her leash skills! She has done well with meeting new people. She already knows 'sit' and has done well with housetraining. She does like the crate but much prefers sleeping in the bed. Bratwurst is super smart and would love a family who can commit to keeping her busy with training and give her lots of structure. She loves her people and would love to join your family for lots of adventures and cuddles! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
