Story
Hello, it’s nice to meet you! My name is Alicia, and I’m estimated to be a 1-year-old Catahoula leopard dog mix. I weigh 39 pounds. I have the same name as my foster mom, so my foster parents call me Aurora. I was rescued from an overcrowded shelter, and boy am I happy to be free! My foster parents say I’m just about the sweetest girl ever. I love meeting new people and giving them kisses. I’m gentle, affectionate, and appreciative. Sometimes I jump up to give hugs, so you would need to watch me with little kiddos; that way I don’t accidentally knock them over. I have met many dogs of all sizes and loved them all! I like to play for short bursts and can entertain myself if my furry friends aren’t feeling active. I’ve had a small amount of exposure to cats and did just fine with them. My foster parents are impressed with my training so far! I like to lay in the kennel for naps and don’t mind sleeping in there at night. If I’m in a playful mood and have to be kenneled when you leave the house, I may bark for a little bit. My foster parents let me sleep in bed with them and I don’t make a peep all night. I am potty and leash-trained! Going on walks is a lot of fun and I especially like looking at the squirrels. Did I mention that I love toys? Stuffed animals are my favorite thing to chew on! My future family should know that I have bilateral hip dysplasia. The vet said I don’t need surgery right now, but it’s a real possibility when I’m older. For me to stay healthy, my family should commit to the following: 1) keeping me lean and active with low-impact exercise such as swimming or walks, 2) getting me on a prescription mobility diet such as Hill’s j/d, and 3) giving me a joint supplement like Dasuqin. My foster mom can give you more info! I know that sounds like a lot of work, but I promise I’ll make it worth your while. I’m an easy girl to love with my honey eyes and gentle soul. I can’t wait to find my forever home!
