Alfie is a retired, purebred Greyhound with a black coat and a quiet, gentle personality. He's lived a life that started in Ireland, then the UK, and now he waits in Woodinville, WA, hoping to find a home where he can truly settle in. At 65 lbs, Alfie is on the smaller side for a male Greyhound. He thrives around people—staff and volunteers adore him—and enjoys puzzle games and running outside with his trusted humans. He's got good leash manners and likes his routines. Alfie is best matched with a quiet suburban or rural home—he can't live in apartments or city neighborhoods, as he's uncomfortable with constant encounters with other dogs. He’s only good with other Greyhounds (with similar laidback personalities) and cannot live with cats, small dogs, or other small pets due to his strong prey drive. New situations can make him timid, and his adopter should be prepared to patiently reassure him with calm words and treats as he continues learning how to be a relaxed pet. Alfie's toy enthusiasm also means he’ll need a home without young children and with adults who can reinforce his positive training. The rescue provides four free training sessions to set you up for success. Alfie could thrive as an only pet or as a companion to another Greyhound. He’s a loyal, affectionate dog just waiting for the right person to let him settle in and enjoy life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
