About Alize
Meet Alize! 🌟🐾
Alize is a beautiful young German Shepherd with a heart full of love and resilience.
Despite a tough start in life, coming into care after a clear history of abuse and neglect, Alize has shown incredible strength and progress. Since joining her foster family, she’s blossomed into a gentle, affectionate companion who truly just wants to be by your side ❤️
Whether you’re relaxing at home or heading out for the day, Alize is happiest when she’s with her people. She’s an excellent running buddy at a slower pace and loves joining her foster carer for morning runs. On walks, she’s a star—loose-leash walking and exploring the world with curiosity and joy 🌳🐕
Alize is also learning her manners and basic commands like Sit, Down, Stay, and Wait. While she’s still working on listening in high-stimulation environments, her progress has been amazing. She’s even discovering the fun of fetch! 🎾
Her Best Qualities:
✨ Fully house-trained and crate-trained
✨ Polite and patient at feeding time
✨ Gentle, loving nature and thrives on human companionship
Bath time and brushing aren’t her favourite activities, but she handles them like a champ. She can still feel a little stressed when left alone, but with continued guidance and a loving home, she will truly thrive 🏡💕
Alize is looking for a family who will give her the love, patience, and stability she deserves. In return, she’ll give you unwavering loyalty and endless affection.
✅ Gentle and affectionate
✅ Loves running and outdoor adventures
✅ Thriving with training and eager to learn

Adoption details
Please do not apply to adopt via our animals' PetRescue profile.
Follow the links below to be directed to the Wollongong City Council website, and find your preferred animal's online profile.
Once in the online profile, scroll down and click the link to complete an adoption application. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your application and suitability for your preferred animal.
If we deem the animal to be suitable for your home and lifestyle, an in-person meet and greet may be organised.
