About Latte

Latte is a great example of an Alabama mixed breed with some Australian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever in her background. She was picked up as a stray with no owners looking for her, but she's settled into her foster home in Alabaster, AL with ease. Latte lives with a busy couple, several other puppies, adult dogs, and even cats. She'll sometimes chase the cats, so she’d do best in a cat-free home or with someone willing to reinforce calm behavior around felines. Her current fosters are open to discussing her habits. Latte is crate trained and house trained, and her fosters recommend a fenced yard for her. She thrives outdoors, happy to explore and nap in the sun for hours. Latte is spayed, microchipped, and current on all vaccines, including rabies. She gets monthly parasite prevention, so she's off to a good start health-wise. Latte’s adoption fee is sponsored. She’s ready for her next chapter with a family ready to give her time, space, and some reliable boundaries. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
