04-06-2024 Alvin is a very sweet little boy who has come to us from a breeder to find his forever home. He is a little nervous but is easy to handle and gives us a waggy tail. Alvin has only known life with the company of other dogs so at the moment he will need a home with another resident dog to help him settle into his new life. Alvin gets on well with his kennel friends here and loves to play with them in the play yard. He has never lived in a home before and will need understanding adopters that can help him learn new skills such as housetraining and walking on a lead/harness - having a resident dog to copy will also help Alvin with this. Alvin is such a gentle boy and he will make a great addition to a loving family.

Our vets have noted that Alvin has weakness, reduced range of movement and muscle atrophy in his right hind leg. They have advised he needs x-rays which is being arranged and our rehoming team can discuss this further.

Alvin is a little sweetheart! He desperately wants to come out of his shell fully but kennels and humans are a little scary still. He allows you to approach him slowly and give him some gentle fuss. He quite enjoys the fuss actually, his waggly tail gives him away! Alvin is easily handled and I’m sure in a home environment where he can relax he would reveal the sweet cheeky boy he’s meant to be. Although he’s definitely showing it more by the day around his kennel mates where he’s most confident. He’ll engage in playing with you if you have a toy too. Alvin does rely on his kennel mates and would love a resident dog in his new home to teach him how to be a brave dog! He could be homed with older dog savvy children who are able to remain patient and gentle with him. He’d make a lovely little best friend.

Alvin is a sweet, lovely, cheeky boy! He is getting along good with his short walks and is successfully building back his muscle. His first walk of the day is always a slow, scary one for Alvin, but his second and third walk he thrives on them! He gets very excited when he goes back in with his kennel buddy’s and wants to play with them! Alvin can be a bit nervous to start with but once you’ve sat with him for a few minutes his curiosity overcomes him and he will come up and smell you. He likes to play with toys and will occasionally want you to play with him, he can be a bit nervous when you go and touch him but he hasn’t been around many people so it’s understandable that he might be a bit scared.

Alvin is the bestest boy and will thrive in a home environment with a resident dog.
