PET OF THE WEEK: Meet Riggs, a friendly dog who has a ton of energy

Humane Society of West Alabama:

Riggs is a 2-year-old Shepherd/Catahoula mix who weighs in around 50 pounds. He's got tons of energy and would make an excellent buddy for an outdoor adventurer.

This sweet, friendly dog is easy to be around and adores attention, toys and running around outside. He also likes playing rough with his kennel mate, Duke. He'd make a great family pet for older children and has done fine with other dogs.

If you're interested in Riggs or any other animals at the Humane Society of West Alabama, please fill out an adoption application on our website, www.humanesocietyofwa.org , email humaneswa@yahoo.com or leave a message at 205-554-0011.
