Alfie

Hi! I’m Alfie and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.

APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR ALFIE
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/A2YyJf5mA3VhCJdW6

NOTE: You are unable to meet Alfie until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Alfie in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.

What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family and not left outside 24/7 with no interaction.
• I am a puppy, so I WILL bite, chew things, toilet inside, bark & cry and be destructive. It is up to you to train these behaviours out of me. Please don’t apply for me if you are not willing to put in the effort to train me to grow up to be a well behaved and social dog.
• A submissive dog is the best housemate for me. But, I LOVE LOVE LOVE people, so I'm just as happy being an only dog getting all your love and attention for myself
• I like both friendly male and female dogs however I can be full on in play, so another dog with the same energy as me is a must
• Being a social and playful pupper I would love to go to doggy daycare
• I have a high prey drive so I can't go to a home that already has cats, rabbits/guinea pigs or chickens/ducks as I will chase them
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• I have a lot of energy so an active family is a must!
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• Lots of love and attention
• No young children as when I'm excited, I get very bouncy and mouthy, older children who will be involved with my training should be ok.
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can be the best dog I can be when I'm older.
• Being a young puppy, I will adapt & learn easily, how I mature will only be a reflection of you & my upbringing.

My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• You may have noticed my party trick, which is that the tips of my ears flip right over. How cool is that!!
• Highly food motivated
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• I know my basic doggie commands
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• I love attention, hugs, kisses & head scratches
• Well mannered
• Love to snooze on the couch
• I walk well on lead for a young doggo but having daily walks should help me improve my lead skills
• Exuberant & full of beans

Where I need to improve / Training required:
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• I can be a bit bouncy - training should stop this
• As I have not been allowed inside before I am not housetrained yet
• I can sometimes be quite vocal at times when left alone - a family who has a lot of time for me, allow me indoors and leave me with lots of mental enrichment when home alone is recommended

AN ADOPTION CAN'T BE APPROVED IF YOU HAVE CANNOT COME TO THE SHELTER TO MEET ALFIE IN PERSON.
