Alissa
Alissa wants to devote herself to loving someone she can always count on, forever.
She is a stunning, young Caucasian Ovcharka (aka Russian Mountain Dog, Russian Shepherd Dog), 18 months of age, spayed, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
Alissa is very tall and weighs 82 pounds, which is substantially smaller than most of her breed. Her previous owner said she was "the runt" of the litter. Sadly and needlessly, both of her ears have been completely cut off.
Alissa likes playing ball. She is bashful with new people and strangers cannot lunge at her. We tested Alissa with another large and friendly dog, who she accepted well without any challenge. She is housetrained (with doggie door and/or ample opportunities to get outdoors).
Alissa was surrendered by her previous owners who said she needed more attention than they could provide.
Due to Alissa's size and strength, we are seeking an owner experienced with large dogs who can make a lifetime commitment to her.
