Alpine is a thoughtful, sensitive girl who just needed a little time to find her footing. When she first arrived, she went through a brief phase of feeling unsure around certain people—possibly due to things like winter coats, hats, glasses, or simply adjusting to a brand-new environment.
Since then, Alpine has made incredible progress. With patience, positive experiences, and lots of gentle encouragement, she’s built trust and even formed friendships with people she was once cautious around. We’re so proud of how far she’s come—and she’s only getting better!
Alpine does best with slow, respectful introductions. Giving her space, avoiding sudden movements, and tossing a few treats her way helps her feel safe and lets her come to you on her own terms. Once she’s comfortable, she becomes a very social, affectionate girl who loves being around her people.
She has an easygoing play style, walks beautifully on leash, and brings a calm, sweet presence wherever she goes.
With a little patience and understanding, Alpine will show you just how loving, loyal, and special she truly is.
