More about Allison

Adopt Allison! Her foster family calls her Allie. Allie’s birthday is somewhere between May and November 2023. She weighs about 60 pounds, but she could add few more pounds. She loves to go for walks and snuggling up on her couch, but most of all she loves to play with all her dog friends. She loves people, even strangers, and goes right up to everyone to introduce her playful self.  Allie has a condition known as an ocular dermoid, meaning there is some extra hair that grows out of one of her eyes. It does not bother her and has been examined by vets, and the biggest risk was that she may lose some vision over time. However her other eye is perfectly health and normal, so even if it does cause some vision loss she can still live a happy and healthy life. Allie had a rough time when she was first brought to SPIN Rescue. She developed a very bad case of kennel cough, eventually had to be hospitalized and kept on oxygen during her recovery. It was touch and go for a while but she eventually got the all clear to come back home and soon bounced back to her normal self of playing with everyone as much as she could. She is house trained and very good about waiting until she can go outside. She is crate trained although will become restless over extended periods of time. She has been on car rides and does well. She barks occasionally at things that she does not recognize, like the trash truck. She walks on a leash well, although she has been known to pull when she sees a dog in the distance or a distraction of note. She really wants to say hi to all the new dogs and people. Allie has a moderate to high amount of energy, so she would do best in a home with other playful dogs or frequent walks/trips to the dog park. She currently lives in a foster home with many dogs and loves it. If you are interested and have room for two, she would love to go with her foster brother Aspen, who is also up for adoption. She might be too energetic and bouncy, for young kids and elderly. Sweet, happy Allie is currently in a foster home in DFW, Texas. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. Apply to meet and adopt her at www.spinrescue.org
