Another week, another Shelter Supermodel. 📸🐾
And this week’s cover boy has the looks, the personality and… well, we’ll just say brains aren’t everything. 😂
Meet Alphie. 🤎
Alphie is a 6-year-old chocolate Lab Retriever who came to us 16 days ago after being surrendered due to changes in his family’s housing. He had been with his owner since birth, so after six years in a home, shelter life has been a pretty big adjustment.
Thankfully, Alphie has never met a stranger.
He LOVES people, cuddles, running around outside, rope toys, squeakies and pretty much anything that involves being part of the action. He’s energetic, affectionate, playful and will happily announce from his kennel that he would very much like to GET OUT AND SEE YOU. 😂
His former family told us Alphie is crate and potty trained, lived successfully with both dogs and cats, and absolutely loves kids. Because he can be a whole lot of enthusiastic Lab, we think older kiddos may be the best match.
He even knows sit, paw, shake and dance. So maybe we take back what we said about the brains. 😉
Alphie is currently neutral around other dogs at the shelter, and because every dog pairing is different, we’d want to do a meet and greet with any resident pup before adoption.
And one more pretty special thing about this guy: Alphie was a registered emotional support animal for his previous owner. ❤️
After spending his entire life with one family, we’d really love to see his stay with us be a short one.
Alphie is fixed and ready to go home TODAY.
Come meet this week’s Shelter Supermodel. 📸🤎
