Alice #5 | 3-Year-Old Pit Bull | Sweet, Snuggly Girl with a Nose for Adventure
Alice is a 65-pound gray-and-white pit bull who is equal parts cuddle bug and curious explorer. Mostly house trained, she reliably stands by the door when she needs to go out and has quickly learned to use washable pee pads, with very few accidents. On leash, Alice does fairly well—she can pull a bit and loves to stop and sniff, taking in all the smells along the way. When left home alone (even for long stretches) with other dogs, she’s been a perfect angel: calm, non-destructive, and easygoing.
Alice is friendly and social with other dogs and truly just wants to play, though she can come on a little strong with more sensitive pups. She’s done well around cats too, especially confident ones who can set boundaries—she’s playful and excitable, not aggressive. While she hasn’t met children yet, she adores the people she’s met so far; due to her size and enthusiasm, she may be better suited for a home with older kids. Alice doesn’t show a preference for men or women and is a low shedder, which is a nice bonus.
This smart, slightly stubborn girl is still learning basic commands like sit and stay, responds well to structure and boundaries, and has a medium energy level—she’s happy with a couple of casual activity sessions each day and then settles in for couch time. Alice loves bones, car rides, bouncing balls, and honestly any treat you offer her. Her favorite thing, though, is affection—she’ll happily rest her head on you and try her best to be a lap dog despite her size.
Alice would thrive in a home where she has plenty of companionship; if her people are away during the day, having another dog buddy would make her happiest. She came to us from North Carolina, and while we don’t know much about her past, it’s clear she has a big heart and a lot of love to give.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
