Alfie

Alfie is a sweet and playful little lad with a big personality who’s ready to find a loving home of his own. Alfie loves nothing more than curling up on your lap for a fuss or playing a gentle game of tug with his favourite soft toys. He’s a bright, endearing boy who’ll bring plenty of joy and laughter to his new family. Alfie is looking for a calm, understanding home where he can continue to build his confidence. He could live with another friendly dog or have visiting canine pals, though he’ll need a bit of management as he can be very playful and sometimes reactive when out on walks. Alfie would really benefit from having a secure garden, as he’s still working on his housetraining and prefers toileting off-lead. He walks best in quieter areas where he won’t encounter too many other dogs, and as a small breed, he doesn’t need long walks to stay happy. Alfie has shown some separation anxiety, so his time alone will need to be built up gradually. Alfie is relaxed with handling, grooming, and vet visits, and he’s happiest when he’s part of family life. With a bit of patience, continued training, and lots of love, Alfie will make a loyal, affectionate companion who’ll repay your kindness tenfold.
