Adoptable Pet of the Week: Everest

Everest may be a peak puppy.

A playful explorer just six months old, Everest is looking for adoption from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington (AWLA).

She’s a mixed breed of medium size — up to 44 pounds fully grown — and the AWLA said she’s a big fan of treat puzzles and giving high fives.

According to the AWLA:

Meet Everest – a smart, playful explorer with a heart full of love and paws always ready for adventure! This clever girl is a big fan of treat puzzles (the more challenging, the better!) and will happily show off her tricks – including an adorable high five – to earn a tasty reward.

Everest loves her walks and takes in the world with curious, excited eyes. She’s the kind of dog who thrives on connection and engagement, and she’s patiently waiting for a forever home that will give her not just love, but time – time to play, time to learn, and time to build a lifelong bond.

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who’s as bright as she is sweet, Everest is ready to climb right into your heart.
