Despite his unique appearance, Alan’s charm was undeniable. At home, he quickly assumed that every visitor was there just for him, a testament to his friendly and loving nature. “Everyone that comes to the house, Alan thinks it’s to see him,” shared Johanna, Alan’s adopter and mom, highlighting Alan’s endearing assumption that all guests were his new friends.
Alan’s journey to his forever home began unexpectedly.
“I saw a couple of dogs by the side of the road… I found those two dogs plus five puppies. And one of those puppies was Alan.”

The discovery of Alan and his family by the roadside was serendipitous, and it didn’t take long for his rescuers to fall in love with him. Despite his peculiar nose, Alan lived like any other dog – eating and breathing without difficulty. “He doesn’t know, you know, he just thinks he’s a normal dog. He has no idea that he’s slightly different,” Johanna added, pointing out Alan’s blissful ignorance of his uniqueness.
Now, Alan does more than just bring joy to his family; his wonky smile has become a symbol of unconditional love and acceptance. Rocky Kanaka, an animal advocate who continue spreading Alan’s story emphasizes, “Now Alan brings joy to more than just his family. All because of his wonky smile.” This sentiment is echoed by Johanna, who believes that Alan embodies the message that one does not have to be traditionally beautiful or perfect to be loved.
