Update 9/4/26
Hi! It’s Ali!
My foster mom thought I should tell you all a little bit about what a typical day looks like for me in case there may be someone who thinks I might be a good fit for them but isn’t quite sure with me having IBD.
I have a pretty typical dog life right now. I am on some food that Dr Reno recommended to help keep my digestive system working well. I think it’s great food. I get excited and eat up everything in my bowl. I am on some medication and I eat that up when foster mom puts it in some of my wet food like it’s a treat. I love being around foster mom and my foster siblings either napping or playing. I like going on walks and going outside to stretch out in the sun or roll around on the grass. I sleep in the bed with foster mom and foster siblings all night. So a pretty typical good dog life!
Foster mom says I’ve been on a good streak and when I poop things have been good. With IBD there is potential for issues to come and go and with that will need someone who will keep an eye on that in case more recommendations from the vet are needed to keep me in a good stable state. I am a very good, loving, silly girl. I rarely get any corrections and when I do I accept them very well.
I’d love to find my forever family, maybe one that is looking for a dog to snuggle up with on their lap!

It’s been about 4 months since we took Ali into the rescue and it has been a tough long road to try and get her as healthy as we could. Ali lost her owner and came to us in just terrible shape, skin and bones, badly infected ears with a head tilt. Ali has IBD that had her body so out of whack it took months to try and get things under control. We can finally say that she has gained quite a bit of weight, she is feeling good and we know the path forward for her on how she needs to be cared for. Ali will always be an IBD dog, Ali will obviously need an owner who understand this condition doesn’t get solved, it gets maintained.
It will be difficult to place her but we know the village will hit that share button and help us find her that home. Her foster mom Danielle has taken such great care of her day in and ay out and she has written the fun part about Ali while I handled the medical part. Here is what Danielle says about this cute little girl.
I was looking up what the name Ali meant to see if any of the meanings described her. I saw this description of the name on one of the websites: “The name Ali is short, sweet, and friendly.” That describes Ali!
When I met Ali the first thing that came to my mind was, “she is so little.” She is small in stature, but big in confidence like so many Frenchies. This summer I have had a few friends and family come to visit and she may have barked at new people for a couple of seconds and then she was up wherever they were sitting feeling comfortable with them all. Whatever room I am in you will find Ali. Well, with one exception…when I clean my guest bathroom she will go and hang out with her foster fur sisters- I guess it’s not exciting to watch. I work from home and all I have to say is, “Let’s go to work,” and she follows me into the office. Ali is a girl who will love her human immensely, want to be near them in their lap, resting right next to them, and possibly giving some licks on the back of the leg or arm. She’s great with other dogs. Has had no issues with my dogs and each night grooms both of them either cleaning their eyes or ears.
My family and friends that met her have called her “adorable, goofy, silly, just a cutie” and one said they might sneak her out in her suitcase. Ali will bring a lot of love, joy, and snuggles to anyone who is lucky to adopt her.
I see Ali doing best in a home where there is another dog or a pack for her to be a part of. Being around my dogs when I’m not home definitely helps her stay more relaxed. Having a human that that is not away for extended periods of time daily will also be a great fit for her.

This little 5 year old girl has come to us this morning, she belonged to an elderly woman who fell and hurt herself and she needed a place for her to go as she couldn’t care for her. She gave her to a nurse where she was being looked after but the nurse needed a rescues help, she is not financially able to care for her. Dr. Reno took a look at her, she is probably an IBD dog, she is thin and struggling with diarrhea and is losing albumin. She was tearfully dropped off by her caretaker this morning wishing she was able to keep her but she was not.
We are already beginning her medication and food and will work on getting her stabilized with her GI system.
