Meet Alfred,

Alfred is an excitable and happy pup who approaches life with an eager bounce once he’s comfortable. While he may be cautious for a moment when meeting someone new, he recovers quickly and is soon ready for pats and playtime. Alfred thrives on interaction and enjoys being handled, carried, and cuddled, but he also has a playful, exploring side that will keep his new family entertained. He’s very food driven, which makes him a great candidate for reward-based training – essential for his growth, confidence, and manners. With consistent socialisation and a loving home, Alfred will become a friendly, well-adjusted dog who loves being part of the action.

Alfred is still young and had a rough start to life. When he and his litter mates arrived at our facility, they were all heartbreakingly underweight — most likely due to not receiving proper nutrition in their previous home. Since then, we’ve been giving Alfred the care, food, and love needed to help him grow big and strong. Under our vet’s guidance, he has been steadily gaining weight, but it’s a gradual journey that will need to continue in his new home.

The wonderful news is that Alfred has been given a clean bill of health — and with ongoing, nutritious meals and a caring adopter, he will keep thriving. Alfred may have had a difficult beginning, but he has so much love to share with the right family.

Dog-friendly? Yes, he is - however he is still learning manners. He will still need further socialisation training which we have started.
Cat-friendly? Unknown - we can't really test in this environment, so it’s up to his new family to introduce him carefully.
Kid-friendly? Absolutely! He’s open to meeting children from 5 years and up.

Considerations:

Alfred would love a yard, with high secure fencing, so that he can play in it safely. He dreams of a home with toys - lots of toys! As well as daily exercise/walks to keep his body physically fit & his mind mentally fit. Treat/food puzzles are a great tool and great way to keep active puppy minds engaged!

Alfred is starting to explore his surrounds & is growing in confidence each & every day. However, it would be a wise move to invest in a crate & start crate training. This type of training is not only a highly valuable skill to have but is a great skill for any dog to learn and know.

Alfred should be enrolled into puppy training classes as soon as he is adopted. These classes & training will set him up for life and will allow him to learn social skills & etiquette, as well as define his manners. These classes & training will also teach him how to appropriately interact with other dogs as well as other animals & people. These training classes will also assist his new owner, as they can both learn new skills together.
