💫 ALUMNI CHECK-IN 💫
Alina (Adopted in 2021) - 5 years and still showing them who the boss is 😂
Alina continues to be equal parts sassy, bossy, and outrageously attention-seeking. She’s basically a tiny, furry CEO with anger management issues and absolutely zero respect for bedtime. She firmly believes sleep is optional - especially for everyone else - and considers keeping the household awake a nightly hobby whenever she becomes obsessed with a new toy.
Her current emotional support object is a Jolly Rancher stuffy she carries around like it’s a priceless family heirloom. She is also a shameless little shoe elf who steals her mom’s shoes and uses them as pillows. 🙄
Alina lives with three other dogs and one cat. She is fully convinced the cat exists solely for her entertainment… while the cat appears convinced he’s trapped in an active hostage situation. Their relationship status: complicated.
Alina is the living embodiment of a Sour Patch Kid: first she’s sour, then she’s somehow even more sour, then....weirdly sweet. She is absolutely an acquired taste — you have to love her enough to survive her first.
She tests everyone’s patience daily, but she’s also the most loyal ride-or-die dog you’ll ever meet. For the past five years she has kept us on our toes; humbled, sleep-deprived and endlessly entertained. And if we're being honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🩷
Alina isn’t just a dog — she’s a full-time personality disorder with paws. And we couldn’t love her more. 💞

We love seeing Alumni thriving in their forever homes. Thank you, Lorena, for adopting and giving Alina the loving life she deserves 💝
