ALICE - GREAT DANE / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Great Dane / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. Alice is an 8-year old Great Dane/Labrador mix and a certified velcro dog! At 104 lbs, she is spry and energetic for her age with short bursts of energy before settling back into her favorite pastime: snoozing. Alice will happily follow you around from room to room just to make sure she doesn't miss out on the action! Alice adjusted easily to her foster home and has proven to be an easygoing and loyal companion. She is house-trained and crate-trained, and is happy to go into the crate when asked. When she gets excited, she will grab her favorite soft, squeaky toy and prance around the room, letting everyone know how happy she is. She shows her affection by gently nuzzling or leaning into you for pats, and her favorite way to ask for belly rubs is by rolling onto her back and waiting patiently. She’d thrive in a home where people are around often and where she doesn’t need to be crated too much, otherwise she may bark on and off. She doesn't get very vocal, but when she barks it can be loud. She usually makes a quiet "woof" when she needs to go outside or is hungry (if you haven't attended to those things already). She can sometimes bark when crated, but it never lasts that long. Alice is a creature of habit who thrives on routine, anticipating each part of the day from eating to walking to going in her crate on her own. Her foster family says that training has been a breeze—Alice now knows to sit and wait before eating, receiving treats, and getting her harness on for walks. She only asks for love and a comfy couch to lay on. She loves people and forms a special bond with women. She is social with other dogs and loves making new friends at the dog park. She cannot live in a home with cats. Alice has a lower energy level overall, but she loves going outside! She loves to go on hikes and is surprisingly great on a leash, not pulling at all. She might be 8 years-old, but Alice still has a lot of love, life, and joy to give! Are you ready to meet this sweetheart?
