Alfie

About This Dog for Adoption

Alfie's ideal home

Alfie is a fun-loving 6-year-old Border collie looking for an adult only home. He is an inquisitive boy and enjoys exploring new surroundings with his most favourite people. Whilst out on his adventures Alfie may be a little hesitant meeting new people, but because he is always walked on lead and happily wears a muzzle this does not hamper his enjoyment for life. He is comfortable travelling either on the back seat or in a crate in a car to get to new walking spots.

Alfie would prefer a quiet home without any other pets, so that he can revel in all the attention his new family will want to shower on him! He would also love a secure back garden in order to wow you with his football tricks and new agility skills. He enjoys his training sessions and knows basic commands as well as a few tricks. Alfie was housetrained before coming into the care of Dogs Trust, so with a little bit of training and support from his new owners he should be able to accomplish this again. Once settled into his new home we feel Alfie would be content to be left at home on his own for a couple of hours with the radio playing.

Could you be Alfie's perfect match?

Handsome Alfie walks well on the lead and adores long country walks where he has ample space and can sniff to his heart's content. Eager to work for a tasty treat, Alfie is keen to show off his skills and recently had fun around the agility course. If you are the active but empathetic adopter who can offer Alfie the special home he longs for, please apply. Please be aware that throughout the adoption process, Alfie will require several visits at the centre from his potential adopters to start building that all-important bond.
