Alice

Alice is here in Maine and awaiting her forever family to see her! Alice is estimated to be about 2-3 years old and is a Pyr mix. She is a large dog weighing about 90 lbs. Her foster family just loves her and wants her future family to be perfect. <br/><br/>Here are some things to know about Alice:<br/>She currently lives with three young children, a dog, two bunnies, and guinea pigs and does well with all. She is a typical sassy pyr- she is snuggly, sweet, sassy, and stubborn and will let you know if you are in her favorite spot. The couch is hers, deal with it. Here foster says: "Alice has been fabulous with every last member of our family. She is very much a livestock guarding dog. When properly introduced to her “herd” and her territory, she becomes the most gentle yet alert guardian. 80% of her day is spent lounging on her favorite couch. The other 20% is spent patrolling our property, “booping” people in the butt when she wants pets, and once-a-day zoomies with our dog. She’s very intelligent, sensitive, and regimented. She loves to keep us on schedule and will give you all the sass if you are even second late with a meal or outside time. Alice is very much a livestock guarding dog. She’s not the type of dog that works for you like a retriever or shepherd would. She is a companion dog. She is intelligent, stubborn, and instinctual. She will work with you as a partner, but if what you are telling her to do goes against her instincts, she very well might not listen. She has fabulous instincts though, and if you trust her and listen to her, you will often find that she was right and you were wrong. There’s also no rushing Alice. If your lifestyle is constantly “on the go”, she’s not the right fit for you."<br/>Alice's ideal home will have kids, a physically fenced-in yard, experienced and/or knowledgeable about the Pyr breed, a family committed to slow and controlled intros with new dogs, and a family that is home more often than not. She will need regular grooming and her new family needs to plan for that. Alice has been with her foster family for about two months so may take some time to adjust to a new home. Her foster family is committed to helping make that transition smooth.<br/><br/>If you think you might be interested in adopting Alice or just want to get pre-approved to adopt through us, please fill out an application on our website.
