Meet our beautiful foster girl, Ali
Ali is a 7-month-old Kelpie x Cattle Dog weighing only 8.2kg.
She hasn’t had the easiest start in life, having had very little human contact until she was a few months old. As a result, she is still quite timid, but beneath her cautious exterior is a curious, cheeky girl who is slowly learning that the world can be a safe and happy place.
Ali is a sensitive soul who will need a patient and understanding adopter willing to let her progress at her own pace. While she can be nervous around new people, she is making wonderful strides every day. She has started initiating contact by gently nuzzling for affection and seeking out playtime with those she trusts.
Toilet training is still a work in progress, and she is not yet comfortable wearing a harness or walking on a leash. She will need someone committed to continuing her training with kindness, consistency, and encouragement.
Ali enjoys chasing a ball and is beginning to learn fetch, so a secure outdoor area where she can safely play and build confidence would be ideal. If she feels unsure, she quickly seeks the safety of indoors.
One of the most heartwarming things about Ali is the special bond she has formed with our male Dachshund. She absolutely adores him and often looks to him for comfort, reassurance, and guidance when facing new situations. Because of this, Ali would thrive in a calm, child-free home with a gentle, confident older dog who can help show her the ropes.
With time, patience, and love, Ali will continue to come out of her shell and blossom into an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion.
