URGENT FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED <br/><br/>Meet Alice <br/><br/>Alice is a senior girl looking for a very specific, understanding home. We believe in being completely transparent about her needs so that any potential placement puts both Alice and her adopter in the best possible position for success.<br/><br/>Alice has significant, progressive medical conditions, including Cushing's disease, a grade 3 heart murmur/enlarged heart, severe arthritis and spinal changes, chronic pain, dental disease, mammary nodules, and possible vision impairment. Her mobility is limited, and discomfort greatly affects her behavior.<br/><br/>Alice tends to bond intensely with one person and can become fearful and reactive toward others. She has a history of growling, lunging, and multiple inhibited bites/bite attempts toward adults, primarily men, as well as incidents involving cats. Most have not caused injury, although one recent incident involved holding onto a pant leg with significant pressure. She can also resource guard her preferred person.<br/><br/>Because of this history, Alice requires an exceptionally specific home: one adult woman, no men, children, cats, or dogs, and no apartments or condos. A securely fenced private yard is required. Her adopter must be experienced with fearful/reactive dogs, understand canine body language, and be comfortable with lifelong management and significant veterinary expenses.<br/><br/>Alice struggles with separation, confinement, strangers, movement, noise, handling, and activity that increases her pain. Despite veterinary care, medication, professional training, and extensive management, her progress has been limited.<br/><br/>Alice isn't a dog for everyone. She needs someone who fully understands her medical and behavioral history and is prepared to prioritize her comfort, safety, and quality of life above everything else. <br/><br/>Interested in fostering Alice?
