My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! My name is Alberto, though my volunteer bestie likes to call me "sweet baby".

I'm a versatile guy! I love to romp around in a kiddie pool and chase balls around, but I also love taking slow walks and having time to stop and smell all the smells. Recently I was introduced to squeaky toys and let me tell you, they might be my new favorite thing! When I'm very happy, I'll roll around to ask for all the belly rubs, and you may also notice my puppy prance that I've heard is adorable.

I'm house trained, independent, and can keep myself entertained with toys, but I also like cuddles and love a good back scratch! I'm a calm, quiet guy who would make the perfect work companion at home or in an office, or just a perfect snuggle buddy on the couch!

Come say hi to me and see my teddy bear eyes win you over in person!
