Alyssa *Courtesy Post

My story

- COURTESY POST - ALYSSA This is the sweetest tripawd girl who loves humans more than anything. It’s hard to believe Alyssa had such a tough start—found as a tiny pup wandering the streets of West Oakland alone, she lost her leg in a shelter dog fight when she was less than a year old. But instead of holding onto the past, she’s spent every day since making up for it with endless love and gratitude—like she knows humans saved her, and she’s determined to give back tenfold. Alyssa greets people with endless tail wags, always leaning in for pets and sticking by your side. She made a full recovery and is perfectly healthy, these days she sprints faster than most four legged huskies! She is equally down to go for runs or chill on the couch all day; wake up early or sleep in; sometimes I take her to Starbucks and she naps peacefully by my side for hours while I'm working on my laptop, accepting pets from passerbys. She can be a little shy with strange dogs, but with proper introductions, she can live happily with another dog - her foster brothers and sisters love her. Alyssa is fully potty trained and crate trained; she knows sit, down, stay, "go potty" and is a breeze to walk on the leash - this girl is hella smart and very easy to train. As her current handler, I adopted her six months ago from Oakland Animal Services shelter - but due to a change in family and job schedule situation, I find it difficult to care for two pups (I have a second dog who requires a lot of attention). Alyssa is up to date on all her vaccines (Providence Vet in Alameda) and has no medical issues, she is a great dog.
