Please welcome Alfie 
This adorable cuddle monster is just 18 months old, and has been signed over as his elderly owner isn't able to give him the time and training he needs.
Alfie is considerably overweight for a such a young dog, tipping the scales at over 28kgs when he arrived!
Thankfully Alfie is young enough to recover from his early rather sedentary lifetyle and lack of exercise. He was rather pleased to find a few tennis balls in his Christmas stocking
Alfie has met a few of our residents, and he seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, but he does seem to have an 'it's ALL about me' attitude and whether or not he would enjoy living with another resident dog is still something we're trying to work out. Alfie loves affection....
and when he sees it being shown to other dogs he has tended to try to muscle in on the action
So the staff feel that Alfie may be able to live with a steady, confident dog who can help him learn how to share, and how to be more dog, less couch potato.
Yeah, that's not a good look Alfie .....
That's better beaut!
