About Alma

Meet Alma. Alma is a charming 5-year-old sweetheart, weighing in at 20 pounds, who we believe is a maltipoo mix. She joined us after being rescued from a difficult breeding and hoarding situation in Louisiana. Despite her challenging past, she has embraced life in her foster home and is eager to find her forever family. Alma is spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. She is crate trained and walks beautifully on a leash. While she prefers to do her business on walks, she gets along well with both dogs and cats. She also thrives in homes with older teenagers, adapting well to a busy household environment. With a gentle and affectionate nature, Alma loves to snuggle close to her people. Her favorite spot is often perched on the arm of the couch, watching her family while soaking up love. This little dog exudes happiness and brings a calm, easy-going vibe wherever she goes. Alma’s scruffy appearance only adds to her charm, and once she feels safe, her confidence truly shines. Whether it’s a gentle bounce in her walk or curling up next to you, she’s ready to offer warmth and companionship. After dedicating years to raising puppies, she now seeks a family that will spoil her with soft beds and plenty of affection. If you're looking for a loyal little companion who wants nothing more than to give and receive love, Alma could be the perfect fit for you. Click apply to start the adoption process.
