Meet Alice - a resilient little athlete with a heart full of loyalty and love. At just 35 pounds, this petite heeler mix is smart, happy, and full of personality. Every morning, Alice greets the day with frantic wiggles, bright smiles, and excitement to be near her people. Alice loves walks and is wonderful on leash, happiest when she's exactly one step behind her trusted person, quietly keeping pace. Life hasn't always been easy for her - she survived while caring for herself and her puppies, which made her resourceful, observant, and strong. Because of her past, Alice can be cautious with strangers at first. But once she decides you're safe, her affectionate side shines. She adores brushing, belly rubs, and being as physically close to her people as possible. Like many heelers, Alice forms a deep bond with her chosen person, and will likely connect especially strongly with the woman of the household. Alice is still learning that indoor life can be safe and comfortable, since she's had very little experience with it so far. Every day, though, she grows more confident and curious. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and tends to be playful, gentle, and submissive in social settings. Alice is looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to blossom into the devoted companion she's meant to be.
