Alfie

My Story

Meet the adorable Alfie! This guy has been failed by humans, not once but twice. He’s been adopted out to two different families, both who returned him to us because he had “too much energy” for their households. We’re hoping third time is the charm for this guy. He is thriving in his foster home thanks to having a playmate, fun toys, a fenced backyard, and, perhaps most of all, a family who pays attention to him!

Alfie is a 1-year-old Husky/Cattle Dog mix, so if you’re familiar with these breeds, you know they need enrichment, entertainment and exercise! That said, Alfie would do best with a fenced yard and a more active adopter — this means playing in the yard and going on walks/hikes — he just wouldn’t do well with a total couch potato. That said, he does have an off switch and knows the importance of naps and a good night’s sleep! He already knows several commands but could use some help on his manners, as he seems to lack spacial awareness — he’ll stand on your toes, bump into you, or step on you in bed. That said, his foster mom describes him as a sweet, goofy boy.

Alfie can be a bit of a rough player with other dogs, but he would enjoy a dog sibling that matches his play style. He is fine with cats. He loves toys of all kinds. He would do best in a home with older kids.
