Looking for foster care
About Alvin
Hi, I’m Alvin, and I’m a wonderful companion who loves spending time with my humans. I’m playful, affectionate and always happy to be involved in whatever is happening.
Tug of war is one of my favourite games, and I also love getting out for a good long walk. My family uses a halter to walk me, and with it, I really enjoy exploring the world around me.
Sometimes I can be a little nervous around boisterous dogs, but I’m learning to work out what is important and what I can leave to my humans to handle for me. I think I would be happiest as the only dog in the home, or with a calm friend who isn’t too dominant.
I’m a clever boy and have already mastered my sit. I’m working hard on my drop and stay, and mat training works really well for me. I’m also very motivated by treats, which definitely helps with my training!
At night, I’m crate trained, and I’m also pretty good at finding myself a comfy spot to settle down and relax.
I’m still getting used to the size of my legs, so I can be a bit of a goofy goober and occasionally misjudge a step or ledge. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of them eventually!
I’ll always let you know when someone is approaching our yard so I can be a wonderful little watchdog. But underneath my handsome brindle rolls and gorgeous caramel bedroom eyes, I’m really just a gentle boy looking for someone to love.

Adoption details
Adoption Process
Please complete your adoption application in full and provide all required supporting documentation, including veterinary records for any existing pets and, where applicable, a copy of your current lease agreement with written permission to keep pets. Applications will not be assessed until all requested information has been received.
Applications are not approved on a first come, first served basis. Every application is carefully assessed to ensure the best possible match between the animal and their new home. We consider the individual needs of each animal, your lifestyle, experience, home environment, and ability to provide lifelong care. If we believe the animal you have applied for is not the right fit, we will happily work with you to find a more suitable match.
Cats are adopted as strictly indoor-only pets. They must not be allowed to roam outdoors under any circumstances. Secure outdoor cat enclosures or supervised harness walks are acceptable where appropriate.
Dogs will only be adopted into homes with secure, escape-proof fencing suitable for the size, breed, and needs of the individual dog. Applicants may be asked to provide photos or videos of their fencing and yard as part of the assessment process.
If your application is approved, your contact details will be provided to the animal's foster carer, who will contact you to arrange a meet-and-greet and, if suitable, a handover.
Prior to collection, you will receive an adoption agreement, copies of the animal's veterinary records, and payment details. The signed adoption agreement and full payment of the adoption fee must be received before the animal can leave our care.
We offer a two-week trial period to help ensure the adoption is the right fit for both you and the animal. If the adoption does not proceed during this period, the animal must be returned to our care. The adoption fee will be refunded less an administration fee, provided the animal is returned in the same condition in which it was adopted.
Our priority is placing every animal into a safe, loving, and permanent home. We reserve the right to decline any application if we believe it is not in the animal's best interests.
