My story

　　You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! I'm Alice, a big and beautiful girl. I fancy myself a lapdog, but sadly, it's just a dream. Whenever I attempt to sit on my mom's lap, I usually manage only two paws up before she informs me I'm too big. Isn't that rude? She doesn't realize what she's missing.

　　Currently, I share my home with a Saint Bernard sister and a Chow sister, and we get along famously. In the backyard, I love to run, chase squirrels, and bark at the deer. Occasionally, I succumb to the crazy zoomies, becoming so excited that I disregard my mom's location and nearly run her over. I can't help it—I just love to zoom!

　　Mom insists I'm a very good girl. I walk on a leash, sit nicely for a pawdicure, and have never had an accident in the house. While mom allows me to jump on the bed, I don't stay long; I prefer to sleep on the floor next to the bed.

　　Speaking of my house, I'm fiercely protective of my mom and everyone when we're at home. I bark at everyone who comes over, and being a bigger girl, that can be intimidating. It takes me a while to warm up to people in my house, but outside, I'm a perfect lady.

　　Mom has to feed me separately from my sisters. After finishing my meal, I have a habit of trying to eat everyone else's. Additionally, I enjoy grabbing any food within my reach, whether it's on the counter or in someone's hand. If I get to it, it's mine!

　　I would love to find a home with a big yard for running or someone who enjoys long walks. Despite being a big dog, I'm still very active. I would thrive in a home without kitties and small children.
