Adopt Alfred

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Personality traits: Alfred was surrendered to us because his previous owner was overwhelmed. He originally comes from Romania and had been with his previous owner since he was a puppy. We can't understand why he developed the way he has. In any case, he has a severe resource guarding issue. We are working on this, and it can be managed if you continue training with us. Of course, you have to be a certain type of person to adopt Alfred, because he's not exactly gentle when it comes to the object of his affection. Otherwise, Alfred is a very sweet, cuddly bear and unobtrusive, whether in everyday life or at the vet. He doesn't hold a grudge if you've had to argue with him, and his aggression isn't directed at anyone.

Charaktereigenschaften:Alfred wurde wegen Überforderung bei uns abgegeben. Ursprünglich stammt er aus Rumänien und war seit Welpe an bei seiner Vorbesitzerin. Warum er sich so entwickelt hat, wie es nun ist, ist für uns nicht nachvollziehbar. Jedenfalls hat er eine massive Ressourcenverteidigungsproblematik. Daran arbeiten wir und das ist auch in den Griff zu bekommen, wenn man gemeinsam mit uns das Training weiterführt. Klar muss man aber auch ein gewisser „Typ Mensch“ sein, um Alfred adoptieren zu können, denn der Kerl ist nicht zimperlich, wenn es um das Objekt seiner Begierde geht.Ansonsten ist Alfred allerdings ein ganz lieber Schmusebär und unauffällig, egal ob im Alltag oder beim Tierarzt. Er ist auch nicht nachtragend, wenn man mal mit ihm diskutieren musste und seine Aggression ist nicht personenbezogen.
