About Alfie

Meet Alfie! This energetic one-year-old is a delightful mix of Hound and something special, bringing plenty of joy and excitement to every day. With a heart as big as his love for adventure, Alfie zips around, eager to explore, play keep-away, or just enjoy the company of his human friends. Still puppy-like in his behaviors, Alfie is learning his manners and needs nurturing adopters who understand a young dog's needs. He’s already crate and potty trained, which is a great start. Once he burns off some energy, he becomes an affectionate goofball, happy to curl up close for some snuggle time. Alfie's fondness for other dogs shines through his experiences in foster care, where he played well with his canine companions. He gets along with dogs he meets, though he has faced challenges with resident pets in the past. A home without other dogs would suit him best, but with proper introductions, a calm dog could be a good fit too. Alfie thrives on interaction, so an active family with a fenced yard would be ideal to channel his high energy into play and continued training. If you're seeking a loving, goofy companion to brighten your days, Alfie might just be the perfect match for you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
