Alfred's Story

DOB: 2/11/2022<br/>Breed: Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier mix<br/>-Neutered Male 50lbs<br/>-Microchipped & fully vaccinated.<br/> -Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative<br/>*Adoption Fee $300*<br/><br/> Hi there, I’m Alfred! I know I might not make the best impression in my kennel, but can you really blame me? I’ve spent most of my life in the shelter, and it’s the only world I’ve ever really known. Once I’m out of this noisy space, you’ll see the real me, a well-mannered boy who walks great on a leash and is loyal to the core. I was adopted once for a few months, and in the home setting, I didn’t have any accidents, destroy anything, and I slept soundly in my kennel at bedtime. I did struggle with resource guarding my mom, which is why I was returned, but I promise with the right structure and understanding, I can thrive. I tend to warm up to women a little quicker, and I’m looking for a calm home with no children or small animals, since I have no prior experience or socialization with them. I love playing in water, and I’m also a champ at bath time and the groomer. I just need someone willing to see past that first impression and give me the opportunity I’ve been waiting my whole life for.<br/><br/>The highlights…<br/>-Guardian at heart<br/>-I love playing in water <br/>-I’d make a great hiking buddy<br/>-Dog selective. Prefers alpha females<br/><br/>My ideal home would include…<br/>-Patience is key. I may take time to adjust to a new home environment. Time, consistency, and positive reinforcement will help me as I learn.<br/>-Ongoing training and socialization. After spending most of my time in a shelter, I will have gaps in my social skills with people and other animals. Structed training, firm leadership, and controlled introductions to new situations will be essential.<br/>-Exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs with limited past experiences often have pent-up energy and curiosity. Regular exercise, enrichment activities, and structured routine will help me thrive

Sun Valley Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
If you see an animal you are interested in then we ask you come down to the shelter to fill out an application which gives the Adoption Counselor an idea of your home and what you are looking for. We try our best to get to know the animals traits, good or bad, so we can match make and find the perfect animal for you. We do not answer questions over the phone or on email about a specific animal, we rather have a more personal meet and greet with you to hear all of your concerns and wants. Our goal is to make sure that the animal has found its forever home and it does not have to go from home to home anymore. While the biggest goal is to make sure that you know exactly what you are getting and are 100% ready to have a wonderful life with your new family member. *As our match-making process can differ based on the needs of the animal, we cannot guarantee a same day adoption.* *Some animals may be considered "Accepting Applicants", meaning you will not be able to take the pet home that same day. Applications will be reviewed within the next few weeks and the shelter will call back any prospective adopters.* We are looking forward to working with you. Please be advised we only adopt to AZ residents. We make a commitment to all of our animals. So while we appreciate your interest, we ask that you be a local resident to adopt. We do not always know the full background of each animal and sometimes personalities are not fully shown until a few days in the home. If for whatever reason you cannot keep the animal, we appreciate the animal being returned to our facility. It is costly and time consuming to return an animal from out of state. Please check your local animal shelter to find a forever friend near your area.
