Alicia - Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Alicia is a 3-year-old Shepherd mix who weighs around 38 pounds, and she has a personality that's just as charming as she is affectionate. She's convinced that every walk should include a quick stop to admire herself in a window or glass building, and honestly, it's hard to blame her. Once she's decided it's cuddle time, she'll happily nudge your phone right out of your hand if it's getting in the way-because in Alicia's opinion, one hand petting her simply isn't enough.

She's wonderful with new people and genuinely enjoys making new friends. Whether she's meeting strangers on a walk or greeting visitors at an adoption event, Alicia is happy to soak up the attention. She also rides the train like a pro and is remarkably quiet, rarely barking even in busy environments.

Alicia has a lovely balance of energy. She enjoys getting out to explore and can have playful, energetic moments, but she's just as content curling up for a nap once she's had her fun. Sweet, and endlessly lovable, Alicia is looking for a family that won't mind giving her lots of belly rubs and cuddles.
