Alice’s Story: A Love Letter in Wagging Form

If you’ve ever wished for a best friend who looks at you like you invented peanut butter—meet Alice.

Alice is the kind of dog who doesn’t just walk into a room—she skips into it, tail wagging like it’s powered by sunshine. She’ll trot over, plop her soft golden self at your feet, and give you this look. The Look. It says, “Hi. I’m Alice. I love you already. Got snacks?”

She’s got all the makings of a storybook sidekick: golden Lab mix charm, a compact 30-pound frame perfect for couch cuddles, and a big, curious heart that leads her nose-first through the world. Seriously, if sniffing were an Olympic sport, Alice would bring home the gold. Twice. She’s not just taking you for a walk—she’s giving you a guided sniffari.

She adores kids, makes fast friends with cats and dogs alike, and has an uncanny knack for knowing when you’re having “one of those days.” Her solution? Lean against your leg and gently thump her tail. Works every time.

But Alice isn’t all sugar and cuddles—she’s got zest. She once slipped out the front door like a flash of golden lightning, made two glorious laps around the yard, and then returned with the proudest “That was amazing, wasn’t it?” expression on her face. (Spoiler: It was.)

Her one small quirk? She can be a bit “shouty” when she sees other dogs on leash at a distance. But give her a chance to meet them properly and she’s all wags and wiggles. She’s the type who prefers saying hello snout to snout rather than across a boulevard.

Alice does have a congenital kidney condition, but here’s the truth: she doesn’t know it. She’s lively, bouncy, and totally medication-free. She just needs more frequent potty breaks—nothing a yard or a few extra walkies a day can’t solve. She’s not a hiker, but she’s absolutely a hand-in-paw walking buddy.

Her current person, Wendy, is facing a heartbreaking reality. A big move, a demanding new job, and too much time away mean Alice can’t get the daily companionship and potty breaks she thrives on. Rehoming her isn’t a choice made lightly—it’s a choice made out of deep, selfless love.

So now, dear reader, the baton passes to you.

If you’ve got a soft spot for scruffy toys, an appreciation for interpretive tail dancing, and a cozy spot on the couch that could use a golden glow, Alice might just be your missing piece.

She’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and unconditional loyalty into your life. You bring the love. She’ll bring the belly flops, snuggles, and a heart big enough to fill your whole home.

Ready to fall in love? Alice is waiting. Apply now to meet your new best friend.

Cute Alice Story:

Alice loves to run and she’s fast. She’s broken loose a couple of times, but she just races around and comes right back.

Why is Alice Being Rehomed?

I am moving out of state for a job. My house will be long and I won’t be able to leave work and walk here like I have always done. My new job will also require a lot of travel, that I haven’t had before, and I can’t afford a pet sitter for that much time away.

Alice’s Perfect Adoptive Home Will Be:

A home with a yard and/or dog door would be ideal. She enjoys walks 3-4 times a day, even just short walks. She is not a hiking dog due to her kidney issue, but she enjoys more quiet shorter walks. She will sit with you on the couch at any time and would love a cat or dog friend.
