Alfie's Story

lfie has been with us since Valentine's Day, 2024.<br/><br/>We have lowered his adoption fee in hopes that we are able to find the right family for him. He deserves a great home.<br/><br/>Alfie was found sleeping outside on the sidewalk curled up on a pillow and blanket. The good Samaritans that found him brought him to our local animal care and control in hopes that he could find a home off of the streets. <br/><br/>We would love to be able to find Alfie a foster home so he can learn what to expect living in a home.<br/><br/>Alfie is a smart dog who knows the "sit" command and will do anything for a good treat. He loves scratches behind the ears and booty scratches, and he'll definitely let you know when he wants some attention. <br/><br/>Unfortunately, Alfie has trust issues with other dogs and would do best in a single-dog household. He has a lot of energy and would love an active family that can take him on walks and adventures. <br/><br/>Alfie is a sweet and loving dog who is just waiting for the right person to come and take him home. Could that person be you? <br/><br/>Alfie is UPTD on vaccines, neutered, microchipped and has received a dental to extract a broken tooth. He is heartworm negative.<br/><br/>Adoption Process<br/><br/>Caring Animal Rescue Inc believes that every animal deserves a good home, but we also believe that not every animal is right for every home.<br/><br/>We take the time to learn about an animal's behavior and match it with the lifestyle of potential adopters.<br/><br/>All applicants must submit an online adoption application.<br/><br/>You must provide verifiable vet references, verifiable address match, and character references.<br/><br/>If you list that you are the owner of a home, we will verify property records.<br/><br/>If you list that you are a tenant, we will verify that pets are allowed on your lease agreement with your tenant.<br/><br/>By applying to adopt, you are agreeing that we have permission to contact your vet, landlord, and character references.<br/><br/>If you do not agree with our screening process, please do not apply.<br/><br/>Applicants must agree to our screening processes before a meet and greet, and at-home visit is scheduled.<br/><br/>All existing animals within the home must be up to date with vaccinations and spayed/ neutered.<br/><br/>All kittens under 10 months old will be adopted in pairs unless there is an existing cat in the home.<br/><br/>Completing our application does not guarantee that you will be matched with one of our animals.

lfie has been with us since Valentine's Day, 2024.

We have lowered his adoption fee in hopes that we are able to find the right family for him. He deserves a great home.

Alfie was found sleeping outside on the sidewalk curled up on a pillow and blanket. The good Samaritans that found him brought him to our local animal care and control in hopes that he could find a home off of the streets.

We would love to be able to find Alfie a foster home so he can learn what to expect living in a home.

Alfie is a smart dog who knows the "sit" command and will do anything for a good treat. He loves scratches behind the ears and booty scratches, and he'll definitely let you know when he wants some attention.

Unfortunately, Alfie has trust issues with other dogs and would do best in a single-dog household. He has a lot of energy and would love an active family that can take him on walks and adventures.
