Hi, I'm Alfie! I'm a 2-year-old Bloodhound with gorgeous red fur, tons of charisma, and a beautiful singing voice! When I am out and about, I love meeting people and dogs! True to my breed, I am a gentle and sensitive soul with a playful streak. I love cuddling with our volunteers and staff, and enjoy playdates with our office dog, Silas. Although I love playdates, I'd prefer not to live with another dog, because I like my own space! Bloodhounds are renowned for their exceptional sense of smell, often called "noses with dogs attached." That's me for sure! I love exploring outside and investigating all the interesting smells I can find.
I've already done a lot of training, mastering many commands, so I'm ahead of the game! I've impressed everyone with my intelligence and my ability to learn quickly. I'd love to start out in my new home by doing an obedience class so I can build a bond with my new family.
Interested, but unsure? I am an excellent foster candidate! A break from kennel life would be a treat for me, and you'd get to experience the joy of caring for this beautiful boy at no cost to you. Call today to learn more about fostering me and make a difference in my life!
Special requirements - Only dog, no apartments or condos, kids 12+
