Alessa came to us as a stray with unknown history after being found with another dog. From the moment she arrived, she has shown herself to be a gentle, friendly, and easygoing girl. She walks nicely on leash, explores her surroundings with a soft, relaxed body, and readily approaches people for affection. Alessa enjoys attention, wags her tail sweetly, and allows handling with ease - she's a calm companion who simply enjoys being near her humans.
My Ideal Home
Alessa would do well in a calm, comfortable home where she can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle. She has a loose leash walk and a soft demeanor, making her a great match for adopters looking for a gentle, steady companion. Given her medical needs, she will require a committed adopter prepared to provide ongoing veterinary care and follow-up. A quiet home where she can rest, receive regular medical support, and soak up affection would help her thrive.
Good with Kids?
Yes. Alessa has shown a soft, tolerant temperament during handling and does not display reactive behaviors. As with all dogs, respectful interactions are recommended.
Good with Other Pets?
Alessa arrived with another dog and has shown no reactivity to dogs during her assessment. With proper introductions, she may do well with a calm canine companion. No known history with cats.
Overall Health
Alessa is a senior dog with multiple medical issues that will require ongoing veterinary care and follow-up diagnostics.
Behavior Determination
Level 1 - Alessa has demonstrated friendly, relaxed behavior with handlers and during her assessment. She walks well on leash, allows handling, and shows no concerning behavioral responses.
Other Fun Facts

She's a mellow, affectionate companion ready to enjoy her golden years in a loving home. Primary Color: Gray Secondary Color: Charcoal Weight: 38 Age: 10yrs 0mths 1wks
