Alfie's Story

Meet Alfie: a 2-year-old Shepherd–Shar Pei mix with a big heart, a low-rider build, and the most expressive face you’ve ever seen. Alfie was dumped in Homestead, FL and became homeless until a kind woman brought him to safety. Now he’s ready for the next step: a an adopter where he can finally exhale, decompress, and show off the gentle, loyal dog he truly is.<br/><br/>Personality:<br/>Alfie is sweet, polite, and low-key—more “gentleman companion” than chaotic puppy energy. He enjoys being near his people, soaking up attention, and taking in the world with those soulful eyes. He’s also great with kids (toddlers and older), which makes him an easy fit for a home that wants a steady, family-friendly dog.<br/><br/>Dog-friendly:<br/>Alfie gets along with other dogs and does best with calm, respectful male or female dogs. He’s social without being pushy—he tends to keep things friendly and drama-free.<br/><br/>No kitties, please:<br/>Alfie needs a cat-free home.<br/><br/>Training & routines:<br/>Alfie is crate trained, does well with baths, and is learning the ropes with leash walking. He’s already a solid foundation dog—he just needs a little more “miles on the leash” and consistent practice to build confidence and polish.<br/><br/>Home vibe:<br/>A home with a yard would be ideal, especially while he decompresses and settles into a steady routine. Alfie would love a calm environment, predictable schedules, and people who enjoy a dog that’s happy to hang out, go for walks, and be part of daily life.<br/><br/>Health:<br/>Alfie is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.<br/><br/>If you can adopt, Alfie is ready to meet you and start his next chapter, one peaceful day at a time. 🐾💛

Florida Cat and Dog Project, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
1. Apply (5-10 minutes). Submit the online application with basic household info, pet history, and your vet/landlord contacts. 2. Conversation & Matchmaking (24-72 hrs). An adoption counselor reviews your application and schedules a quick call. We discuss lifestyle, routines, and what you’re hoping for so we can recommend the best fit (energy, training needs, medical considerations). 3. erification. 4. Vet check: current pets are up to date on vaccines/preventives and spayed/neutered (case-by-case medical exceptions). 5. Housing check: confirmation of pet/breed/weight policies and deposits if renting or HOA-regulated. 6. Meet & Greet. 7. Dogs: neutral-site or foster-home intro; bring resident dogs if applicable. 8. Cats: meet in the foster room; we’ll talk through multi-cat introductions and decompression. If everyone’s comfortable, we can move to a same-day or scheduled placement. 9. Home Review (virtual or in-person). A quick walkthrough (video is fine) to confirm basics: safe exits, litter/feeding areas, yard or leash plan, and where the pet will sleep/decompress. 10. Foster-to-Adopt (optional for puppies/kittens/medical). Short trial (typically 3–7 days; longer for medical cases) so the pet and household can settle. We provide supplies/meds as needed; your counselor stays in touch. 11. Finalize. Adoption contract, medical disclosure (all known history, vaccines/tests, meds, behavior notes), and the adoption fee (helps cover vetting). We register the microchip to you and email the full medical record and next-due dates. 12. Aftercare. We check in at 48 hours, 2 weeks, and 30 days. Behavior and medical support are available; if a mismatch occurs, we honor a return-to-rescue policy, no judgment, we’ll regroup and rematch. What we look for: safe, stable housing; a realistic plan for time, training, and vet care; and a good fit between the pet’s needs and your lifestyle. There’s no “perfect home”, just a committed one with the right support. Out of area? Case-by-case if we can complete counseling, a reliable home check, and arrange safe transport.
