Meet Alfie
Alfie Has Arrived Safely in Wisconsin and Is Settling Into his Foster Home
Alfie made it out of the Arkansas kill shelter and arrived in Wisconsin on 12/6 with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. He is now settling beautifully into his foster home.
Alfie’s story is one of survival and second chances. This 3–4-year-old boxer mix was found as a stray and ended up in a kill shelter in Arkansas. He was saved in the nick of time before euthanasia and has been living in a foster home since August while completing heartworm treatment.
Now that he has finished his treatment, Alfie is ready to head north and begin the life he has always deserved.
We do not know what happened to him before he was rescued, but he does have an old injury to his right eye and the side of his head. It does not seem to bother him at all, and he remains an A+ good boy through and through.
Alfie is gentle, sweet, affectionate, and easygoing. He is good with dogs, cats, and kids, which makes him a wonderful fit for many types of homes. He is potty trained, crate trained, and weighs about 30 pounds.
