Allie may be a bit shy when she first meets you, but very soon she'll want to become your constant companion. She'll hope to become your big baby who loves to play with you - and cuddle to get your affection.

Allie (nicknamed Stormy by her foster mom) warms up quickly to new people and also becomes their energetic, playful buddy. She loves going for walks and is always excited to see her foster come home because she knows they can go out for a walk and playtime. Then they can come back in to snuggle.

In a previous foster home, Allie got along well with their dogs. She's now taking training classes at PetSmart and is fine with most she meets. She also now recognizes basic commands. Back home, she loves going outside to play, walk.

Allie does very well in her crate. She would just rather cuddle with her fosters. When they are away from home, they usually leave her out of the crate with lots of toys to keep her occupied. She is house-trained and tells them when she needs to go outside.

Allie's fosters believe she will do well in most homes with adults who are home most of the time to give her time and attention. She'll enjoy a backyard with a covered area. Come meet this adorable girl. And you can see more about her on Instagram: mariahkirker.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
