The word everyone uses to describe Alma when they first meet here is always the same: sweet.
Pittie-mix Alma was a throw-away mama that has come back from the brink to be a 60-pound healthy, smart, loving girl. She is a low energy queen who would love to hang out with her humans all day. She loves naps, snacks, walks, cuddles, sitting in the sun, her pajamas, and practicing her exercises for peanut butter. While she can be motivated by food, she is also motivated by hugs and positive reinforcement.
Alma has never met a human she doesn’t love, including children, and can live with other dogs with a slow intro (she has previously lived with a pittie and now lives with a pug), but would happily be an only dog. She would like to make friends with all the dogs and cats she sees but her enthusiasm is too much for others to handle, so we are working on that. Because of Alma’s past, her back legs didn’t work so well, so we’ve been doing physical therapy for a few months and she is making incredible and quick progress. She’s very proud of herself. ❤️
Alma is crate trained (up to 8 hours), walks well on a leash, knows some basic commands and has solid recall, and has nice manners (doesn’t beg or whine for food). She has been living in the city without issue, and would also enjoy a home with a yard.
We expect that whoever adopts Alma would need to maintain some of her skincare routine (regular cleaning of her paws, back, and ears), may need to continue some small physical therapy exercises, give her a daily allergy pill, and continue to reinforce her reactivity training.
Alma is truly a sweet, earnest, loving girl and whoever adopts her will be so lucky to have this sweet little squishy cuddle bug in their life.
