Alfie
Alfie is a sweet, playful little lad with a big personality who’s ready for a loving home. He adores lap cuddles and gentle games of tug with his favourite soft toys, and he’s sure to bring plenty of joy and laughter to his new family.
He’s looking for a calm, understanding home to help him continue building confidence. Alfie could live with another friendly dog or enjoy canine visitors, though he’ll need a bit of guidance as he can be excitable and sometimes reactive on walks. A secure garden would really help with his housetraining, as he prefers to toilet off-lead.
Alfie walks best in quieter areas and doesn’t need long walks to stay happy. He can be anxious when left alone, so his time by himself will need to be built up gradually. He’s relaxed with handling, grooming, and vet visits, and thrives on being part of family life.
With patience, training, and lots of love, Alfie will be a loyal and affectionate companion.
