Alba

Alba is a young girl who has endured more than any dog should. Every day, Alba greets the world with a big smile and a waggy tail, ready to try again and learn that not everything has to be scary. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her. She has such a gentle and sensitive heart. She has been through a lot in her short little life. When she arrived, she had a severely damaged eye which had to be removed. Alba came from a very overcrowded and dirty environment, along with several other frightened Collies.

About Alba

Live with another dog: Pending successful meet, can be selective

Live with a cat: No

Live with children: 18+

Alba loves to be around females, she just seems to be so much happier in their company. Due to her past Alba does find things a little scary and can feel insecure in new surroundings or with new people. We would love her to find a home where a female carer is her main point of comfort and trust.

She is a little hard of hearing so a kind and patient owner with a heart as big as hers is what she deserves. We are all very proud of Alba and how far she’s come. She could potentially live with another calm dog pending a dog meet. Due to her sensitive nature, Alba would be best suited to a home with teenagers (16+) or adults only. In the right caring and loving home, this special girl has so much potential to grow and truly part of a home.
