About Alita

Meet Alita, a sharp, sensitive, and friendly Labrador Retriever mix with a jet-black short coat. She has weathered a lot lately—her owner passed, she traveled from California, and now she’s seeking a new chapter in Bellingham, WA. Alita thrives in a steady home where routines stay calm, and she really bonds with her people. She’s best suited for someone with experience handling dogs, ideally a single person or a couple who can give her plenty of time and exercise. Alita gets along well with cats when introductions are thoughtful and intentional. She might do well with the right dog companion, but all meetings start slow to ensure compatibility. She’s house trained and eager for an active lifestyle—think hiking, long walks, and mental games to keep her sharp. Kids aren’t off the table, but only if they’re dog-savvy and over 12, since she prefers gentle, confident handling. Obedience classes may be required if you’re new to dogs, and her adopters should expect to ease her in as she settles after all her recent upheaval. If you’re looking for an adventure buddy with a loyal heart and plenty of energy to burn, Alita could be a perfect fit. Your new best friend is just one click away.
