Alphie

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Alphie is a sweet dog with a great temperament, who loves every human! When he was saved, he was found skinny, with big wounds, ticks and fleas. Alphie loves travelling in the car and walks well on the lead. He has many doggie friends at the shelter. He used to live on the streets, rescued outside of a supermarket where he had been living. Sweet Alphie dreams of loving owners who can give him a lot of love and attention. Could his happy life be with you?

About Alphie

What life with Alphie looks like

Alphie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alphie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alphie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alphie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alphie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Alphie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Alphie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alphie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
