Meet the lovely Alicia, also fondly known as Aurora! 🌟 This delightful Catahoula leopard dog mix is approximately one year old and weighs in at a sweet 39 pounds. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter, Alicia is living her best life, bursting with joy and ready to sweep her future family off their feet with her affectionate nature. Alicia just loves meeting new people and giving the best doggy kisses! 😘 She’s the type who will bounce up for a gentle hug, so it’s best to keep an eye on her around little ones—she wouldn’t want to knock them over in her excitement! After all, this girl is full of sweetness and appreciation. When it comes to canine companions, Alicia is friendly as can be! 🐶 She has met dogs of all sizes and absolutely adored them. She enjoys playtime in short bursts but is also a self-entertainer, capable of having fun on her own when her furry friends need a break. As for cats, she’s had a little exposure and behaved just fine! Now, let’s talk about her kennel habits — she’s quite the lady! Alicia loves taking a cozy nap in her kennel and sleeps soundly through the night without making a sound. However, if she’s feeling playful and finds herself in a kennel when you leave, she might give a little bark for attention. But don’t worry, she’s absolutely potty and leash-trained! 🚶‍♀️ Going for walks is a blast for Alicia; she has a fondness for gazing at squirrels and, of course, her favorite pastime is playing with stuffed animals. 🧸 Alicia does have bilateral hip dysplasia, but her vet assures she doesn't need surgery right now—it's just something to keep an eye on. Her future family simply needs to commit to a few important things: keeping her lean and active with low-impact exercises like swimming or leisurely walks, feeding her a prescription mobility diet such as Hill's j/d, and providing a joint supplement like Dasuqin. It may sound like a bit of responsibility, but Alicia promises to return that love tenfold with her gentle spirit and those captivating honey eyes! 🌈 Can you feel the excitement? Alicia is waiting for that perfect forever home where she can share all her love! Don’t forget that the adoption fee includes a full veterinary exam, alterations, a prepaid microchip, vaccines, and more for a total of $275. It’s time to take the leap and bring this amazing pup into your life! Apply to adopt Alicia through the Buddy App! 💖
