Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Alyssa is a happy, playful, sweet, affectionate, and loving companion who has been on a few outings with Placer SPCA volunteers to get a break from shelter life. Most recently she was hosted for two nights by two of our foster volunteers in their Sun City home. They shared that, "Alyssa met the neighbor's dogs on the first morning and enjoyed a walk with them. She enjoys playing with soft squeaky toys, chasing a ball, cuddling on the sofa, going for car rides, romping around the backyard, and meeting new people. Alyssa is house-trained and was well-behaved in the car, enjoying sniffing the air when the window was rolled down a few inches. She easily hopped into their SUV, but needed a lift out of the car as she was cautious of the big step down. Alyssa used a doggie step to get onto the sofa and up to the bed. She sleeps through the night curled up at the foot of the bed, and each morning she greeted our volunteers with a wagging tail and warm cuddles. She was asked to "sit" and "wait" while her food bowl was set down for her. Overall, Alyssa is an obedient, well-behaved, and happy dog with polite manners. She is great company on the sofa, lying next to you and rolling over for belly rubs (she loves belly rubs). Our volunteers live on a golf course and she never barked at golfers or wildlife." Alyssa is recommended for kids age 5+. She may do well with other dogs in her new home after a slow introduction.
