Oh precious Alfie! He was found by some kind strangers after being dumped on the side of a rural road with his siblings, cold and scared. Fortunately, these strangers went the extra mile and found someone who can keep Alfie and his siblings safe. We think Alfie is around 5 months old(born mid November). You can just see the look on Alfie’s face knowing he was safe. Alfie can’t wait to feel that safe warm feeling with his forever home.
