Alyssa

My story

Meet Alyssa, a sweet and playful three-year-old! She’s a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she’s full of love and energy. She loves other small dogs and is curious about cats, so she’d be a great fit for a multi-pet family. She gains confidence from the other dogs around her!Alyssa has a unique charm that makes her even more special. She had a past “tail pull” injury that left her without feeling in her tail and made her fecal incontinent. But don’t worry, she’s great about eating in her crate and sleeping in it at night. We’ve been working on timing her meals to help us know when she needs to go outside. She can also wear diapers, but she’s learned to take them off herself! :)The other injury from the “tail pull” is that one of her back legs knuckles under, but it doesn’t slow her down at all. She’s as lively and spirited as ever! She wears a bootie when possible to protect the tissue on her knuckles. The doctor has said that she might need to have her limb and tail amputated someday, but she’s not letting that stop her from living life to the fullest.Alyssa is looking for a loving home that accepts her for who she is and is ready to help her with her potty needs. In return, she promises to fill your life with endless love, joy, and adorable antics. This little star is ready to shine in her forever home!
