Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the magnificent Alvey! This gentle giant is not just any animal; he is a shining beacon of resilience and love. 🚀 Alvey was estimated to have graced this earth since 2012, and at 68 pounds, he's the embodiment of snuggly comfort. Can you imagine a more lovable creature? 💖 Alvey hails from the Smith County, TX Animal Shelter, where he was picked up on September 1st, 2022, and later brought into our care. Now, Alvey comes with his own special charm—he is deaf. But don't let that fool you; his spirit is loud and clear! 🌟 Despite being deaf, he is fully present and eager for affection. Picture this: Alvey joyfully trotting towards you, tail wagging, ready to bask in your love. Alvey shines in the little things that make a home special. He absolutely adores his dog beds—nothing beats some cozy time! 💤 He’s a real sweetheart, always up for a gentle pet and snuggle. His social side shines through as he mixes well with other dogs, making him a delightful companion for your furry friends. 🚶‍♂️ Alvey is not just gentle; he's also leash trained, which means you can take him on adventurous walks without a worry in the world! Now, because Alvey requires a fenced yard to keep him safe, he’s looking for a loving home where he can roam and relax under the warm sun. He might not be fully house trained yet, but with a little patience and love, we believe he can learn. His best days are ahead, and he wants nothing more than to fill your home with joy and love during these precious years. So, what are you waiting for? If your heart is ready to embrace this wonderful creature, don't hesitate! **Apply through the Buddy App** to make Alvey a part of your family today! There’s a small $25 adoption fee to help cover his vet care, as he’s already neutered and ready to love! 💕
