Alfie

Introducing the awesome Alfie! This is one little man who can tell you what it’s all about. Silky terriers are described as “intelligent, assertive and loyal. They are a happy, playful breed who thrives on constant activity. This breed is known to maintain a puppy-like attitude throughout life.” Alfie definitely fits the bill. I have never met a happier, friendlier or more affectionate dog. He has loved everyone he’s met.

Since coming into our care, Alfie has demonstrated all of the positive Silky qualities. In fact, we are yet to find a single negative one. Alfie could adapt to any situation, whether it be as a companion in a one-bedroom apartment or as a family dog.

They say that a Silky usually devotes itself to one particular family member but this little man loves everyone. Alfie is great with children and other dogs, and will play with them for hours. As long as he is around his family and feels included, he is happy. He settled in with his foster humans and K9 brother and sister immediately.

Alfie would not suit being left outside or on his own for long periods of time. Being such a sociable boy, he would become anxious if he wasn’t allowed inside with his family. Having said that, his small size and beautiful nature makes him an ideal household pet.

Australian Silky Terriers have a single coat that is long and soft and, as the name implies, silky. The coat is the same texture as human hair so doesn’t need a lot of maintenance. They love a good brush, and light grooming around the eyes, ears, muzzle and under the tail is all that’s needed. Alfie doesn’t have a strong doggy odour and doesn’t shed much hair, making him ideal for people with allergies or asthma.

Alfie's adoption fee is $500 and he is desexed, vaccinated, and will be lifetime registered on the completion of his 2 week trial. Alfie is located in East Maitland.
