About Alina
Meet Alina – a placid, affectionate puppy who loves everyone! 🐾
Born on 25 April 2025, Alina is a loving companion dog, ready to share her heart with her new family. As of January 2026, she weighed 21 kg and is expected to reach around 30 kg at maturity.
Her exact breed mix is a mystery—perhaps Ridgeback, Shepherd, Kelpie?—but one thing is certain: there’s a lot to love about her.
Clever, even-tempered, and eager to please, Alina is easy to train and a joy to have by your side. She is naturally kind and affectionate, with the potential to become a cherished member of any dog-loving household.
Alina is very dog-friendly and respectful of cats. She is house-trained and loves human company. Her ideal home will include:
🏡 Secure fencing to keep her safe
👩👩👦 Humans who are around almost all the time
🐶 Another dog to play with
Alina is very people-focused and happiest in the company of her favourite humans. She’s a true velcro dog—following her person everywhere, bonding quickly, and loving to be close.
She is extremely adaptable and would fit into almost any home—a busy family, a quieter home with retirees, or as the devoted companion to a singleton.
Alina would also make a lovable office companion. She recently spent the day with her foster mum at the local museum and impressed everyone with her calm, well-behaved nature.
She walks nicely on leash, loves to go for a run, has excellent recall, happily meets new people, and accepts pats from anyone with a wagging tail and a smiley face.
Her foster mum says it best:
“Alina is a beautiful, friendly companion dog who wants to be part of the family. She loves life, enjoys playing with her toys (with the occasional casualty!) and has an intense capacity for love—she even wants to be in the bathroom with her foster mum!”
For anyone looking for a dog with personality, affection, and an innate ability to connect with people, Alina could be the perfect addition to the family.
