Description
Amazing Allie was picked up as a stray in the south. Clearly a friendly girl, she was brought to a shelter where she waited for her family to come and claim her. Although she waited patiently, no one came forward for Allie. With many shelters at critical capacity with animals in need, far too many dogs do not make it out alive. Recognizing that Allie was very special, shelter staff began working with rescue organizations to network Allie. Fortunately, word reached MAGSR before it was too late and we were able to welcome Allie to the family.
Allie is a ray of sunshine. She is filled to the brim with joy and happiness. Excited to say hi to everyone she meets, it is impossible to meet this little lady without grinning ear to ear. Affectionate and wiggly, it is beyond obvious that Allie was well socialized with people before her arrival. Allie also seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. She is interactive and playful while reading the body language of the other dog well. As Allie was a stray, we do not know what her experiences were in a household prior to her arrival; however, we do know Allie is a quick learner who is eager to please. With structure, routine, and leadership, Allie is sure to thrive. Training is also an important next step for Allie. Not only will training help Allie build a strong bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have discovered that Allie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly preventative. Allie's heartworm treatment is beginning. As a result, she will need to take it easy over the next few months. Heartworm treatment is very expensive, but Allie is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Allie's treatment as it will not only help us give her the care she needs, but it will also help us provide medical support to other dogs in need. Allie is looking for a forever family that will love her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet Allie today.
Updates
This is a great dog. She is a Shepherd mixed with breed with a lot more spring in its step and wag in its tail. She’s a joyful, easy going, and intelligent young girl. In limited experience with dogs, she’s played very nicely. In limited experience with children, she’s been friendly, sweet, and gentle. She’s very comfortable in a crate and is (mostly) house-trained. She is eager to play but settles very nicely as well.
