Adopt Alvie

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

Adorable 2-year-old golden Labrador Alvie needs an active, experienced family who can provide consistent training and plenty of exercise. This energetic boy loves food and learning tricks, but can be bouncy and mouthy. He's very sociable but needs to be the only dog in the home currently. Requires direct access to a secure garden and someone home most of the day, though can be left alone for 4 hours once settled. Has ongoing medical needs requiring veterinary discussion. Multiple meets and home visits required before adoption.

Read original (en)

Adorable Alvie is able to be left home alone for around 4 hours once he is settled. As a typical Lab, he does love his food so he is eager to learn tricks for some tasty treats! Alvie is also not the biggest fan of the car, so wouldn't be keen to plan any big road trips at the moment. Alvie has some ongoing medical requirements that our vet team can discuss in more detail with his future family. He would love to meet his family several times at the centre, and have some sleepovers, before he is adopted to help set him up for success, as he has had multiple homes already. This handsome lad is a huge personality and he is super playful - he's going to make a very rewarding addition to a committed family. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council. Stunning youngster Alvie is a 2 year old Lab who has more energy than he knows what to do with! Our behaviour team would be happy to work alongside his new family to support with these behaviours during and after his adoption. Although Alvie is a very sociable fella, he'd love to make friends whilst out and about on his walks, but he'd be best placed as the only dog in the home at the moment, and to have quick access into a garden space of some sort. This gorgeous golden boy has had an unsettled start in life so is looking for an experienced and dedicated family who can help him thrive.
