About Alyssa

Alyssa is a sweet girl looking forward to her new life in a foster home after moving from a shelter in Puerto Rico. At just 5 months old and weighing around 18 lbs, this adorable mixed breed, with traces of Labrador Retriever and Chihuahua, radiates friendliness. She gets along well with children and is respectful with other dogs. For the first time, Alyssa is learning to enjoy mealtime in peace and is often found playing with her squeaker toys. Although she hasn’t quite discovered bones yet, her curiosity is sure to bring new adventures as she settles into her foster home. Alyssa will be spayed when the vet determines she is ready, which is covered in her adoption fee. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
