The Diamonds in the Ruff Project as seen on Fox 5 News this morning is well under way. The dogs have been given their “Adopt Me” makeovers and have had their professional photo session.

Come see their debut and photos this Thursday from 6-9pm on the Barkley Square Patio located at 2006 Mt Vernon Ave.

Below are a few of the Before photos and some photos from the Fox 5 taping.

The adoptable pet of the week is Bo. He is a 1 year old Domestic Short Hair. Bo is one super cat! He’s an outgoing boy who loves meeting new people and looking for new adventures. Bo was brought to the shelter because his previous guardians moved into a new home that didn’t allow pets. He’s now looking for a loving, forever home where he can be the life of the party! Bo enjoys being petted, playing with cat toys (especially stuffed mice), and sharing in some meaningful conversation. He would probably do best in a home with another playful, energetic cat. Bo has a very tolerant personality and also would probably enjoy living with a cat-friendly dog. Come meet this awesome boy today!

Bo is available at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. Dedicated to the welfare of both animals and people in our community, the League operates the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter and cares for unwanted and homeless animals, places animals in permanent, loving homes, and also offers many programs and services to help animals and their companions.

If Bo is adopted by someone after reading this article, I would like to offer them a pet goody bag from Barkley Square Bakery and a $50 gift certificate to Karing by Kristina Complete Pet Care Professionals for their next pet sitting service. Please send me an email at Michelle@karingbykristina.com with your adoption story!
