Small in stature, Alfred embodies many of the positive traits of King Alfred of England. Our little fellow is super cute, as anyone can tell just by looking at his face. A calm young dog by nature, with his well positioned and pronounced ears and his big eyes, Mr. Alfred is nonetheless ready to engage fully in life, especially as a beloved member of your household. Alfred has a quiet, almost at times shy, quality that is at once calming. Rather than these characteristics labeling Alfred as reserved or aloof, the opposite is true. According to Rescue volunteers who?ve been fortunate enough to be able to enjoy Alfred?s companionship quickly discovers that our little fellow is ?very sweet and gentle?. He plays well with other dogs and is known as being quite the "snuddler." What, you may ask is "snuddling"? It is simply the act of wanting to be cuddled and to snuggle with his human friends. With his many sterling traits Alfred has one more worthy of noting. Alfred looks like he could be the canine version of Yoda from Star Wars. Doesn't the shape of his cute little head and face, coupled with the appearance of a little white beard surrounding his nose give him a certain "Star Wars" cachet? Can't you just imagine him advising: "May the furs be with you?"
Alfred needs a home with another canine friend, preferably one that is similar in size. He'll need a home with daily walks although with his tiny stature he won't have to go too far each day! Of course lots of cuddle time are a must for this affectionate boy. If you have what our cutie is looking for, please complete an application for him today - www.azrescue.org.
