Alfie

How much training will I need?

Can I be left alone?

Alfie struggled when left home alone in his previous home.

We suggest that any time spent home alone is built up slowly, at a pace Alfie is comfortable with, once he has settled into his new home environment.

Do I have any medical conditions?

Alfie has historic medical conditions, namely sore skin (Resolved) Glucose in the his urine (Detected on one occasion, this is not currently an issue), he will also require a dental (This will be completed by Woodgreen vets at our centre, and at our cost) these conditions will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match.  

We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. 

Can I live with dogs?

Can I live with cats?

Can I live with small pets?

Additional information

Alfie does like other dogs and enjoys playing with them outside of the home.

However, he can struggle to understand when dogs don’t want to play or are feeling worried by him and needs a little more guidance from his people in these instances.

He’s best not to live with another dog at the moment or share space inside a home with visiting dogs , but could make some friends on walks and in the future, he may be able to live with another dog.

True to his breed, Alfie does have a high prey drive and cannot live with cats or small animals.

What kind of family am I looking for?

Alfie’s previous owner described him as her little shadow and as a sociable boy who enjoys a fuss and gets excited when meeting people.

Alfie has never met or lived with children before. We feel that, if Alfie were to live with children in his new home, he would be better suited to older children aged 13 years and over, who can understand that he is an older gentleman who can sometimes feel a little worried about being handled and will respect his space when he is around toys.

What type of environment would suit me?

It is essential that Alfie has access to a secure, private garden in his new home.
