Adopt Alfie

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

Reasons why we love this dog… He could live with the right dog To live with young kids My favourite thing is: Can live with older children Could live with a dog This dog is in the care of another rescue organisation – Forever Hounds Trust has agreed to share them on our website, in the hopes of getting them seen by our audience of sighthound lovers! When you apply for this dog, we will pass your details on to the other rescue, so that they can contact you. Alfie is an adult lurcher boy, looking for his forever home! He is not totally blind, but does have very limited eyesight. He is a gentle soul, who behaves beautifully in the home. Lounging and cuddles are the order of the day! He is house trained and enjoys sniffing around the garden. Alfie is very unsure of some dogs – possibly due to his homeless experience and his very limited sight. When out walking, he will react and bark; and not then move, without support and encouragement. But he has spent time with another dog in his foster house and garden and there no aggression – he is just over excited and does not have any doggy manners. This extends to bouncy play and mouthing, so we would recommend no small children. He can find his way around the house and garden quite readily, but close sight is very limited so he may miss hand signals, hands holding treats etc. He has been fully vet checked and apart from his eyesight he is a healthy adult dog. An owner/family who can provide the love and consistency that will enable Alfie to settle, decompress and reach his full potential – he is nearly there! An owner who is willing to support him manage his reactivity to dogs when out walking and socialising (his rescue will support this with a behaviourist as needed). An uncluttered home and garden where he can wander safely. An adult only home or older children. Someone who is home most of the time and/or can ensure he can be left safely on his own. Very secure and safe garden so he can explore ind
