WASHINGTON – Meet our “catch of the week,” Cat Fish! Whether you’re a sportsman or not, you’ll love this 4-year-old female Basset hound. We certainly do.

This Southern belle arrived at the Washington Animal Rescue League from ASPCA Challenge partner the Humane Society of South Mississippi. Since then, she has made friends with everyone, human and canine, alike.

And don’t let those sad-looking eyes fool you — Cat Fish is happy and playful. All she wants now is a home and family of her own.

WTOP Living is partnering with the Washington Animal Rescue League to feature a Pet of the Week available for adoption. For more information about Cat Fish, email adoption@warl.org or call 202-726-2556 ext. 503.
