About Allie

Allie is a favorite among the shelter staff. She enjoys running and playing, and she’s incredibly affectionate, often laying on her back for belly rubs. Smart and social, Allie already knows commands like heel, sit, lay down, wait, and come. She gets along well with people and other dogs, although her feelings about cats are still a mystery. Occasionally, Allie limps after some vigorous play, likely due to a congenital defect in her arm. It doesn't seem to hinder her spirit. She’s received vet care, including x-rays, and now has a brace to support her during play. She’s been treated for tick disease and is in good health. Allie is ready to make a loving addition to some lucky family. Allie’s adoption fee is $400, covering age-appropriate vaccinations, spaying, microchipping, and other vetting.
