Story
Meet Alfie!
Age: senior
Weight: 20 pounds
House trained: Yes
Good with: dogs (he lives with two in his foster home) cats/children unknown
Characteristics: Friendly, affectionate, easy going, happy
This friendly and affectionate guy is hoping to find a family that appreciates the finer things in life, like he does. Food in his tummy, a snuggly bed, daily walks and a family to cuddle with are all he really needs. While Alfie can be a bit of a couch potato, if you’re looking to get your steps in everyday, he’d make the perfect walking buddy. In fact, Alfie tends to get very excited when foster mom says it’s time for their daily walks. He has a lot of pep in his step for an older gentleman, and he loves meeting other humans and dogs on walks. While he enjoys doing all the things dogs do on a walk, Alfie also enjoys basking under the warmth of the sun on cool autumn afternoons. So, while a fenced yard isn’t a deal breaker, it sure would be a bonus.
Alberts Dog Lounge may have coined the phrase, “crusty old dog” which fit perfectly with the condition of Alfie’s skin when he arrived in foster care, but medicated baths are making his skin feel a whole lot better. He even has a shine on his coat.
Not only has Alfie been a champ during bath time, but he’s also just as tolerant of the daily eye ointment applications used to treat his one dry eye. It probably helps that he doesn’t have any vision in that eye. But that’s ok, he gets along just fine with one eye. Overall, Alfie is just a laid back, rub my belly type of guy who likes to nuzzle in your lap to show his affection and appreciation of your kindness. Alfie would love for you to come and meet him. We are sure you will be smitten.
*Alfie is being fostered in Whitewater, WI.
