Alpha Mixed Breed Franklin, TN

Meet Alpha! Age: 1 Weight: 52lbs
Alpha might be the smartest and most loyal dog you've ever met. This truly special dog would make a perfect running buddy or work-from-home companion. Even better, Alpha would be a great fit for someone who likes to regularly work and train their dogs. Alpha is highly motivated by both treats and attention, and he loves to learn. Alpha easily mastered many basic commands and has moved on to learning tricks like park it, jumping on command over barriers and through hula hoops, and playing brain games. Alpha is also exceptionally mannered on leash and will hold his position even with distraction and distance. As committed to learning as Alpha is, he is equally committed to loving and spending time with his people. Alpha builds strong human connections and wants to keep company with his human family as much as possible and, if possible, all the time. While Alpha does best with a calmer environment, he is still an active young dog who needs regular physical activity. Alpha enjoys all forms of exercise including walks and hiking, but his true love is playing fetch. The one thing Alpha does not like is cats, so he is not adoptable into a home with a cat. Alpha is good with most dogs, but he can be selective about playmates. If you have a dog, we will conduct a meeting with the dogs at the shelter to evaluate their fit.
