ALICE - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $250 if picked up in TN, $325 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Meet Alice, the 9-month-old Aussie mix who walks into a room and instantly makes it a better place to be! This 30-pound bundle of pure joy has a go-lucky attitude that is absolutely contagious, and even her foster home's grumpy old dog can't resist joining in when Alice is ready to play. She loves everyone and approaches every single day like it is the greatest day that has ever happened. Alice knows commands like sit and come, is housetrained, and settles quickly in her crate after a brief protest. She is super smart and picks up new things fast, so her future family is going to have a blast teaching her everything she is capable of learning. She already loves going on walks, playing fetch, wrestling, racing around the yard, and chasing squirrels. She is working on her leash manners but likes to bark her commentary along the way. She's an absolute angel in the car. She does have an old injury impairing the vision in her right eye that her new family will want to monitor, but it certainly has not slowed this girl down even one tiny bit. Alice would thrive with an active family who loves long walks, hikes, and playtime, whether that means kids to romp with, a dog friend to wrestle with, or an adventurous human who wants a cheerful and devoted sidekick. She has a wonderful off switch too and is just as happy snuggling close to her person after a big day out. Truly, it is very hard to imagine anyone meeting Alice and not falling completely in love.
