About Ali

Meet Ali. Ali is a lovely 6-year-old Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, weighing 42 pounds. Her soulful blue eyes are sure to capture your heart. After coming to the rescue from Mississippi due to her previous owner’s health issues, Ali struggled initially with all the changes around her, feeling shy and overwhelmed at the shelter. Thankfully, a temporary foster home helped her adjust before she arrived at her current foster care. With a low- to medium-energy level, Ali enjoys leisurely sniffing around the yard and occasionally running with her foster siblings. Above all, she cherishes being close to her people. You’ll likely find her right by your side on the couch, happily following you from room to room. As she can be a bit reserved in new situations, Ali needs a patient and understanding family to help her build confidence. While she shows a slight preference for women, she enjoys companionship from everyone, including her foster dad. Ali is currently heartworm positive and undergoing treatment, but she remains a calm passenger in the car and is a well-behaved, though somewhat nervous, guest at the vet. She is house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. Ali would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention or with other dogs, as long as there’s no pressure to play immediately. If you seek a gentle and loyal companion who simply wants to be by your side, Ali might just be the perfect addition to your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
