All About Allan

Welcome the beloved side character from the 2023 hit movie Barbie! Allan is Ken’s buddy, they wear the same clothes. However one should recall that Allan was the only person to stand up to the Kens on Barbie’s behalf. Our Allan is looking for his very own Barbie or Ken to trail after.

He is a sweet, snuggly little shadow frenchie. He came into rescue after his owner suffered a fall and needed to move. Allan loves to be wherever his person or another dog is. He loves to play with toys, other dogs, and people. As is his nature, Allan prefers Barbies to Kens. He accepts the Kens! They just have to show respect to his Barbie first. Allan is crate trained, but expresses his displeasure at the confinement before laying down to relax.

Allan loves to lay around, but has a lot of energy and needs to exercise it out. He loves long walks and running along the fence with the neighbor dogs. While he will occasionally claim a trophy of a stick, Allan identifies with Regina George’s sentiment: “Stop trying to make fetch happen!”

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages. 

We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
