About Alfie

Alfie is a lively 3-month-old male Mauzer, radiating energy and affection. With a playful spirit, he adores fetch and enjoys mini tennis balls and golf balls alike. Despite his initial shyness with people, he warms up quickly and loves to snug up after playtime. He interacts well with other dogs and is also friendly with children and cats. Currently mastering his walking skills, Alfie is making great strides using pee pads and is making progress on outdoor bathroom habits. His family will need to commit to a basic obedience course as part of the adoption process. Alfie is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, and he is microchipped for safety. This spirited pup will best thrive in a home where someone is available to spend time with him more often, as he’s still young and very social. If you’re ready for a playful companion, consider bringing Alfie into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
