Alvis's Story
Alvis survived the same unimaginable hoarding conditions as the rest — a house packed with dogs, buried in filth, and devoid of human affection — yet he was one of the very first to walk up to the employees on his own. In a world that taught him nothing but fear, that simple step was huge. His willingness to approach, despite everything he endured, speaks to the quiet, gentle soul he has always been.<br/><br/>His disposition is heartbreakingly sweet — timid, soft, and careful, as if he’s constantly checking to make sure kindness is real this time. He spent his life shut away, only let out for a moment each day to potty and eat, never walked, never held, never shown love. But Alvis still tries. Still hopes. Still reaches out first. He is the kind of dog who will form a bond that means everything once he realizes he’s finally safe.
