About Alice

Alice is a vibrant and affectionate dog who has chosen pet life and is looking for her perfect forever home. Full of energy and love, Alice will make a wonderful companion for someone who can keep her active, engaged, and entertained!
Alice is accustomed to walking with a neck collar, body harness, and K9 bridle, making her easy to handle on walks. She’s well-trained and comfortable with these tools.

Where I grew up

Alice has been raised in a household with two adults, with limited exposure to children and cats. She’s spent time in a busy hospital office once a week and four days a week in a relaxed pottery studio, making her adaptable to different environments. Alice also grew up with another dog, which helped develop her socialization skills, although she can be selective about her doggy companions.

A good fit for me is...

Alice is best suited to an active person or couple who love spending time outdoors and can give her the mental and physical stimulation she craves. She thrives in a home with a good-sized backyard where she can run and play to her heart’s content. Alice is a cuddle bug who enjoys lots of attention, grooming, and affection, so her ideal home would have someone who has time to spend with her.

Because she’s excitable and can bark, jump, and mouth when overly enthusiastic, Alice would do best in a home without small children. She’s not a fan of cats and can be a bit mouthy with some dogs, so a home where she’s the only pet or with a compatible dog would be ideal. Alice also has noise sensitivity and prefers a calm, quiet environment where she can settle down easily.

My personality traits

Alice is a busy girl who loves to be out and about. When she’s well-stimulated, her behavior at home is excellent—she’s calm, happy, and well-behaved. However, if she’s bored or under-stimulated, she can get into mischief, like chewing on toys (which she’s known to destroy!). Alice is incredibly affectionate, quick to learn, and eager to please, but she needs guidance to channel her energy positively.

Strengths:

- Extremely affectionate and loving  

- Independent and doesn’t mind being out of sight  

- Quick learner who responds well to treats and training  

- Enjoys staying active and being busy  

- Thrives with routine and clear boundaries  

Challenges:

- Easily bored, which can lead to mischief  

- Excitable, barks a lot, and is difficult to calm when over-stimulated  

- Destroys toys quickly  

- Can be mouthy when excited  

Alice is a sweet, spirited dog who’s looking for an active, loving home where she can thrive! If you think you can provide Alice with the environment and attention she deserves, she’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty.
