All adoptions are by appointment only once we have received an application. ***Due to the high number of applications we receive for our animals, we will only be contacting potential adopters to further review their application*** 'Ali' is a gentle large breed dog who is highly fearful. The home she is looking for should be with experienced, adult owners with plenty of time and patience. One of her biggest fears can be meeting men and certain other strangers. Ali has played well with larger dogs and another one in the home may be what she needs to build up her trust and confidence. Absolutely, NO cats as due to her size she plays a little to rough with them. She has never been exposed to little people. She's young enough to work with her haviour using positive reinforcement training. Ali is quite the couch potato in the home and needs lots of encouragement to go for walks and/or outside for bathroom breaks. She's even too nervous to venture outside on her own, she requires a bathroom buddy. She loves to play with toys but can be possessive of them with other dogs, she may also display protective behaviour with people, which will need continued work with fear free training methods. She's a young girl awaiting to blossom in the right home!
