Alvin got his start on a rough patch of dirt road, abandoned as a tiny pup with eight siblings, all sick from parasites. Against the odds, Alvin pulled through—every one of his brothers and sisters has already found a new home, but he’s still waiting. Alvin is about a year old and, at around 40 pounds, fits right into that sweet spot: sturdy, not oversized. He likes being outdoors and bonding with people, and his playful side never gets out of hand. This fellow has proven himself with dogs big and small, gets along with cats, and is relaxed around kids. Smart and eager to please, Alvin should fit well into most families looking for a companion that already has some basics down. He’s fully vetted, neutered, and current on shots, simply waiting for a home that will give him the attention he deserves. Start your journey together! Apply now.
