Out here, they whisper about a drifter with a name that sounds like trouble and a personality that absolutely refuses to cooperate. Alfonzo "Dusty Spurs" Delgado. Two to three years old. Thirteen pounds. Built like a legend. Operating like a cuddle lounge. He has the aesthetic of a gunslinger and the emotional range of a very committed blanket. Cat friendly. Ridiculously sweet. Chill in a way that feels almost philosophical, like he's already done the math on life and concluded the optimal strategy is "stay close, be soft, repeat." His vibe? Immaculate. His agenda? Sit on you. His long-term goals? Also sit on you. Now-when it comes to other dogs, Alfonzo keeps his circle very small. Now, there is one line in his story worth mentioning-not as a warning, but as context. Alfonzo is heartworm positive, but he has already started treatment, and his rescue is finishing it completely until he's negative. The situation is handled. The outcome is expected. The only thing you need to worry about is whether your couch is prepared for this level of affection. He does have a twin-an almost suspiciously identical counterpart-but Alfonzo stands perfectly well on his own. No supporting cast required. No sequel necessary. He is the whole narrative. A tiny outlaw whose version of "riding off into the sunset" is migrating from one cozy spot to another with you included. No chaos. No drama. No unnecessary plot twists. Just a small, soft creature with dusty spurs and an unwavering commitment to companionship. And somewhere, in a place that smells faintly of leather and tall tales, someone says: "Don't let the name fool you... That one ain't dangerous. He's deliberate." PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
