Meet Alison!

Update from foster in January: Alison is a 4-5 year-old beagle who was found as a stray and left unclaimed at a pound that was bursting at the seams. The warden was trying not to euthanize. Alison was rescued just in time, and thank goodness, because she is a wonderful dog. She was really skinny when she came into rescue, hungry and desperately looking for food anywhere she could think of. She also had a few other health issues that came from being uncared for. Now, after good veterinary care and plenty of high-quality food, she is in good health and weighs 24 lbs.

Alison is a delightful addition to our household – sweet, calm, and the gentlest dog we have ever met. She is friendly with anyone she meets, children and adults alike. She loves to snuggle with us on the couch or bed, and loves to play with our resident 60-lb dog. (She really enjoys being with another dog – when she went to her vacation foster, she bonded with one of the dogs in that home, as she has done with our dog.) She is fine with our cat – mostly ignoring him, with the occasional nose-touching moment. She loves to play with doggy toys, especially ones that look like stuffed animals, so we keep our daughter’s stuffed toys put away, as well as hats & mittens. But she’s not destructive – mostly she just carries the toys around the house.

We feed her twice a day on a schedule – she seems to be getting used to this & seems less worried about finding food, although she still does have the habit of trying to check for any food left within reach, so we just push things back from the edge of counters or tables. We are working on housetraining with her. We kennel her when we leave the house, but she sleeps happily on our daughter’s bed all night long with no accidents. She is learning basic commands like “sit” and “off.” She will do well with going to dog-training classes, as she is quick to learn and wants to please. Alison is such a sweet dog and will be a wonderful companion in her forever home.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
