About Alfie

Alfie is a special dog seeking a patient and understanding family. He’s currently anxious and shut down, needing a nurturing home where he can learn at his own pace that the world isn’t so daunting. At 1.5 years, he weighs around 25 lbs and requires a fully fenced yard since he is a flight risk. This beagle thrives with other dogs, so a confident canine companion will help him adjust. He hasn’t been around kids or cats yet, but potential adopters must have children over 12 who are respectful and calm, avoiding loud noises and sudden movements that can startle him. Alfie has been neutered, is up-to-date on vaccinations, and is on monthly preventatives. His new family should be prepared to continue his potty, leash, and crate training through positive reinforcement. This is a commitment to an ongoing rehabilitation journey, and experience with similar dogs will be essential. Time, patience, and understanding are critical. Owners must do their research to ensure they are ready for a beagle like Alfie. Applications are open until 6/28, with processing scheduled for the following week. Trying to bring Alfie home?
