Alvie

Mixed Breed · Male

Background Alvie was rescued from a euthanasia shelter in South Korea and is now safe, receiving dedicated care from Karamom and her team. Personality & Behaviour Alvie is a gentle and sweet-natured boy who enjoys human company. Calm and composed, he prefers a slower pace, favouring relaxed, leisurely walks. Often described as a dignified gentleman, Alvie is food motivated and is able to sit and wait, suggesting some basic training from his previous home. He is friendly with people, including strangers, and will often make eye contact to seek affection. Alvie has adapted well to his new environment and is settled within the shelter. While he is not particularly interested in other dogs, he coexists comfortably with them and has shown no signs of aggression or behavioural concerns. Alvie does enjoy his food and is currently carrying some extra weight, which will be managed as part of his ongoing care. Health Alvie has completed his veterinary checks and is in good overall health. He

About Alvie

What life with Alvie looks like

Alvie is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue & Support Group 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 Alvie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alvie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue & Support Group handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alvie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alvie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue & Support Group 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 Alvie 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 Alvie 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 Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue & Support Group early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alvie 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.
