Alfred's Story

Alfred Bio<br/><br/>Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.<br/><br/>Energy level: medium<br/><br/>Potty training: fully trained<br/><br/>Fenced yard: preferred but not required<br/><br/>Shared walls: suitable<br/><br/>People: all<br/><br/>Dogs: all<br/><br/>Other: grain allergy and GI issues<br/><br/>Overview<br/><br/>Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Alfred certainly hasn't gotten the memo. This fluffy white 11-year-old mix is every bit as playful and snuggly as a puppy—just with a lifetime of good manners already built in.<br/><br/>At 17.2 lbs of soft, white fluff, Alfred is an owner surrender who came to Little Paws through no fault of his own. What he lacks in backstory drama he makes up for in sheer charm: he loves cuddles, he loves play, and he is endlessly patient and gentle with everyone around him.<br/><br/>Environment<br/><br/>Alfred is a wonderfully easygoing housemate. He's fully potty trained, so no accidents to worry about. He uses a pen rather than a traditional crate, and he is genuinely content to entertain himself—he's very happy left to his own devices for longer stretches, making him a great fit for working households.<br/><br/>He enjoys short walks and playtime to keep that puppy spirit alive, but he's not demanding about it. A yard would be a nice bonus, but it's not a must. He travels happily in the car and loves watching the world go by from his window seat—a tall car seat works great for him!<br/><br/>Pets & People<br/><br/>Alfred is a social butterfly who has been perfectly content living alongside three other dogs in his foster home. He's gentle and easy with everyone he meets—people included. He loves to lick his doggy housemates' ears. Whether they asked for a grooming session or not.<br/><br/>He is patient and well-mannered around food, waiting calmly when asked. He's the kind of dog who makes you look like a great trainer without even trying.<br/><br/>Health & Special Needs<br/><br/>Alfred has a grain allergy and some GI sensitivities that his foster is actively managing. This simply means he'll need a grain-free diet going forward—something his new family will want to continue. His foster can share more details about what's been working well for him.<br/><br/>Location<br/><br/>Alfred is available for adoption from Raleigh, NC.
