Adopt Alice

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 5 years

Alice is a beautiful girl who has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. When she first arrived, she found everything around her incredibly overwhelming and was a very nervous little lady. However, since settling into rescue life, Alice has been making such lovely progress and is slowly starting to show us the sweet and playful girl she truly is. She now gets excited when she sees her kennel mum and does the cutest little spins when she knows her food is coming, she simply can’t contain her excitement! She also absolutely loves playing with her kennel friends in the yard, and we’re now starting to see glimpses of her inner puppy. Alice has even begun chasing after a ball and will sometimes pick it up and proudly carry it around, which is such a joy to watch as her confidence continues to grow. Although Alice is doing brilliantly with the people she knows and trusts, she does still remain reserved around strangers. Because of this, Alice will need very patient, understanding adopters who are happy to give her all the time and space she needs to build trust and settle in at her own pace. Alice will be looking for a calm and quiet home environment with at least one kind, confident, and friendly resident dog to help guide her through the world and show her that life doesn’t have to be so scary. Ideally, this would be a dog around her age and size, as she is quite an active girl and definitely has a playful side just waiting to blossom. As Alice has never lived in a home environment before, her adopters will need to support her as she learns all about everyday life, including house training, lead walking, and getting used to handling and affection. She still finds touch and handling worrying at times, so she will need adopters who are gentle, compassionate, and willing to work at her pace. Alice is such a sweet girl who is simply searching for a loving home where she can continue building her confidence, feel safe and secure, and finally enjoy all the patience, kindness, and love she so truly deserves. Alice has come to us with generalised alopecia across her body, which should improve and grow back with time. She also had a cyst on her last mammary gland, which was drained during her spay surgery. Alice has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
