Looking for a forever home for our gorgeous lurcher

Alfie is a gorgeous 3-4-year-old boy who we rescued in July after he was found as a stray. He’s now looking for his forever home, where he can be loved and spoiled as much as he deserves.  Unfortunately due to a change in circumstances, we are no longer able to keep him and we are heartbroken to have to make this decision. This is through no fault of his own and our biggest wish is to find him a loving home where he will be cherished as much as he deserves.

Alfie is a very chilled-out, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than cuddles, being close to his family, and spending most of his day snoozing in his bed after his morning walk. He loves being involved in whatever his humans are doing and definitely doesn’t like to be left out! He’ll also make sure you know when it’s time for his evening walk and dinner.

He has a lovely, friendly nature and is great with people. He’s very sociable with other dogs and always wants to say hello when he meets them out and about. Everyone who meets Alfie comments on how calm and handsome he is!

Alfie enjoys his walks, having a good sniff and exploring, followed by a burst of zoomies in the garden before he’s ready to settle down for another snooze. He walks well on the lead, although he can be a little eager at the start. He also enjoys playing fetch with a ball in a safe, suitable space.

He’s happy being left alone for several hours and will usually sleep the time away, provided he’s had a walk beforehand. He’s house trained also.

Alfie’s ideal home: Alfie would love a home where he’ll get his daily walks, plenty of cuddles, and lots of company and affection. He’s a friendly, easygoing boy who has so much love to give. He would probably not be suited to a home with cats as his lurcher instincts can kick in although he is not officially cat tested!

Alfie is such a lovely mix of playful and laid-back: happy to enjoy his adventures outdoors but equally happy to spend the rest of the day curled up beside his favourite people.

We want to find Alfie the loving forever home he deserves. If you think you could give this handsome boy his happy ever after, we’d love to hear from you. ❤️🐾 Please pop us a message/call.
