ALYSSA-HEART OF GOLD - MOUNTAIN CUR / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Mountain Cur / Mixed (short coat). Sweet Alyssa is ready to begin her next chapter! This beautiful girl arrived in her New Jersey foster home on 1/10, and little by little, she’s discovering how wonderful life can be. At just about 40–42 pounds and around 1 year old, Alyssa is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. Shelter life was overwhelming for Alyssa. Loud noises and constant activity left her shy and unsure — but behind her soft eyes is a deeply loving, loyal soul who truly wants to connect. With patience and reassurance, she has started to blossom. She happily takes treats, leans in for gentle pets, and each day grows a little braver. Alyssa absolutely adores other dogs and feels safest with a canine companion by her side. Right now, she’s besties with her foster brother Gus, and she follows his lead with comfort and confidence. Because she gains so much reassurance from another dog, we believe Alyssa would thrive in a home with a friendly, confident pup to help guide her. She’s also true “best friend” material for her person. Once she bonds, she bonds deeply. Alyssa is very attached to her foster mom and loves with her whole heart. When she feels safe, she’s happiest cuddled on the couch, soaking up affection and simply being near her person. Alyssa at a glance: About 1 year old, ~40–42 lbs Spayed Housebroken & crate trained Walks beautifully on a leash Loves other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion Very devoted and forms a strong bond with her person Best in a home without small children, as sudden noises and movements can frighten her Shy at first, but incredibly loving once she feels safe Alyssa doesn’t need a fence — just a calm, patient home filled with kindness, understanding, and ideally, a doggy friend. In return, she will give you a once-in-a-lifetime bond and the sweetest, most loyal love. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will blossom right before your eyes and become your very best friend, Alyssa is waiting for you. Alyssa is fixed and up to date on shots. Her adoption fee is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wag-on-inn.
