About Alani

Think you are the one? Submit an application! Introducing Alani, a lovely six-year-old Border Collie/German Shepherd mix currently searching for her forever home. After her previous guardian could no longer care for her, Alani found herself at the shelter, showing her sweet nature to everyone she meets. She has experience interacting with children ranging from toddlers to teenagers and has done well in those situations. In her previous home, Alani had some exposure to cats—though she lived mainly outdoors while the cats were indoors, they amicably coexisted and even shared friendly sniffs. While Alani has not lived with other dogs, she has been polite when meeting dogs at the shelter, tending to prefer a calm coexistence rather than active play. If you already have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet at the shelter is recommended to ensure everyone gets along. Because Alani spent most of her life as an outdoor dog, she may need a patient adopter who can help her learn new indoor skills such as potty training and leash walking. A home that offers safe indoor-outdoor access during her transition may be especially beneficial. To help with these new adventures, the shelter is now providing a $200 training voucher to newly adopted dogs, making it easier for Alani and her new family to get started on the right paw. For a limited time, adoption fees have been reduced as part of the Empty the Shelters event, making now a wonderful opportunity to give Alani the loving home she deserves. If you’re interested in meeting her out of the kennel, be sure to visit during shelter hours and arrive by 4:00pm to allow enough time for introductions. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
