My story

Meet Alfred! Alfred is a goofy, lovable 4-year-old pup who will steal your heart in no time. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s a nap enthusiast, cuddle bug, and belly-rub connoisseur. If you forget to rub his belly, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153ll gently place his paw on your hand as a reminder. While heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s full of energy in the mornings, he settles into being a lazy boy throughout the dayâ&#194&#128&#194&#148especially with his favorite Benebone toy. Alfred loves attention and wonâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t hesitate to â&#194&#128&#194&#156speak upâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 if youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re not giving him enough. He thrives in the company of people and other dogs and absolutely adores being the center of attention. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s known to greet you in the morning with jumps and kisses, and heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s happiest when heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s close by your side. A bit of an anxious guy, he prefers not to be left alone for too long and is always ready to offer emotional support with cuddles and quiet companionship. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, and comeâ&#194&#128&#194&#148and heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s almost mastered rolling over! Alfred hasnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t been tested with cats, so slow introductions are recommended. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s great with children, though he can be a bit jumpy when excitedâ&#194&#128&#194&#148he just wants to smother everyone with love. Car rides are another favorite activity, especially with the window down so he can stick out his â&#194&#128&#194&#156big little nose.â&#194&#128&#194&#157 He may get a bit anxious if you step out of the car without him, but he settles with reassurance. Alfred would thrive in a home with a fenced yard, a loving family, and ideally another dog to play with. He loves his walks, especially with all the exciting smells to explore. But his favorite part of the day? Curling up with you after work, falling asleep right on top of you. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s affectionate, smart, food-motivated, and always ready for kisses, cuddles, and bum scratches. If youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re looking for a loyal companion who will love you unconditionally and make you smile every day, Alfred is your guy. If Alfred sounds like the perfect fit, please submit an application. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s ready to share his loveâ&#194&#128&#194&#148and his bellyâ&#194&#128&#194&#148for a lifetime. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you have a specific question about Alfred, then please email newdigs@dallaspetsalive.org.
