Alvin is a young adult terrier with soulful eyes and a heart full of potential. Rescued from a hoarding situation, he’s still learning that the world can be kind—and that people can be, too.
Naturally cautious around new humans, Alvin finds his comfort zone among other dogs. In fact, he shines brightest when he’s part of a social canine crew, watching and learning from their confidence. With time, patience, and a peaceful environment, Alvin begins to show his sweet and curious nature.
He’s not the type to rush into cuddles, but with a calm and understanding home—especially one with another friendly pup—Alvin will continue to blossom. He’s a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful connections are the ones that take time to build.
If you believe in second chances and the quiet power of patience, Alvin is ready to start his next chapter—with you.
Apply to meet Alvin and help him discover what a loving home truly feels like.
