My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I'm Alice! I start my day bursting with energy, ready to conquer the world—or at least the living room. My morning routine kicks off with a hearty meal, fueling me up for hours of non-stop play.

I live in an apartment now and have no problem using the cozy turf on the patio for all my potty needs. I’m a pro at it. Evenings are my second meal time, followed by more playtime until I’m all tuckered out and ready for bed.

I’m super sociable and love hanging out with other dogs. Having a furry buddy around makes my day! But heads up, I can get a bit too enthusiastic and bitey during play. I’ve met the neighbour's cat through the balcony screen, and boy, am I intrigued! Haven’t met kids yet, but I’m sure I’d bring the same playful spirit to any encounter. I also know commands like ‘shush’ when I get too barky.

Affection is my middle name—I love cuddling and being around my human. However, I do cry when left alone, so I prefer having company. I’m still learning about boundaries, and my playful bites can be a bit much, but with patience and training, I’ll get there! I’m known as ‘little bullet’ because of my lightning-fast speed and my habit of launching myself at you with pure joy.

I need an adopter who understands my need for companionship, lots of playtime, and supervision.
