Description
Ala is a retriever cross collie type and was rescued from a kill shelter in Romania in December 2022 and travelled to UK foster near Basingstoke in September 2026. She is a sweet girl but shy at first, and great with other dogs. She loves playing with her foster brother, even though he’s a lot bigger than her and plays very roughly!
She love playing, doing zoomies, and will even chase a ball sometimes but she also likes sleeping on the sofa most of all.
She is gradually getting used to living in a proper home. Now and again she will bark at something on the television, but she doesn't react to everyday household noises.
She always toilets outside and she is not destructive. She enjoys having a house to live in and a brother for company.
Ala can be a bit skittish as she is still not sure if someone is going to hurt her, especially men. She will bark at visitors initially because she is worried by them, but after some reassurance from her foster mum she settles down and keeps her distance quietly. If visitors are kind, and offer her a treat, she will take it from them because she really likes treats!
Ala is healthy and getting fitter all the time from all the walks and playing with her brother. She had a dental a few months ago, and also a health check in the UK. She has a few small sebaceous cysts, which the vet has said are nothing to worry about. Common in retrievers and other breeds.
Ala is ready to find a nice home with people that will be patient with her and wait for her to come out of her shell.
