MEET ALLIE ANNA. This sweet Chihuahua mix has been through a lot in her short time here on earth, but she's not about living in the past. Allie  is a happy-go-lucky little girl who has a personality as bright as her future. She is 8-10 months old and weighs about 20 pounds.  She was found as a stray with a large wound on her back that is nearly healed. Allie is friendly with people young and old, and LOVES other dogs. She hasn't been around cats but her foster mom is confident Allie would love them but might chase them trying to get them to play. She loves to sleep under the covers and has to be touching you. Allie  prances around like a show horse and is always in a good mood. She will play FOR HOURS with her doggie friends, so she would love to have another active dog to play with. Because she was a stray, Allie is not yet fully house trained. She also jumps up on people, so she needs a family who will be consistent and patient in continuing her training. Allie barks when she's put in the crate but after about 10 minutes she settles down and knows she just has to wait it out.  She is a fairly quick learner and has learned sit, lie down and shake in just a few sessions. Allie is spayed, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Available through Tired Dog Rescue, Gulfport, MS. Fee: $150. Apply at tireddogrescue.org

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
