Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Alfie was born about March 27 2017, this 15-pound "cool dude" joined us after being found as a stray in a town about an hour away. Despite his unknown past, Alfie is the definition of laid-back. He’s a professional observer who loves nothing more than claiming a comfy spot on the couch to watch the world go by. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he prefers a "co-existing" relationship over a high-energy play session. Alfie is a perfect gentleman on the go and he rides beautifully in the car and walks nicely on a leash. Because Alfie can be a little shy about being picked up and tends to scurry away, he’d likely do best in a home without very small children who might try to grab at or want to carry him. He’s looking for a forever home where he can simply be your best friend. Alfie came to us in need of a dental cleaning which was completed by our local vet. Please be aware that smaller dogs tend to struggle with dental health throughout their lives and you will likely have more dental bills in your future. Also, we will be looking for a home that doesn't mind having potty floor pads handy as so many of these very small dogs struggle with going outside to do their business. Alfie's chest has a very fatty, loose, jiggly mass. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $400.00 Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
