Meet Alfie, an adorable 3-year-and-10-month-old Miniature Dachshund looking for a home to call his own. Alfie is a friendly little guy who enjoys spending time with people and meeting new faces. He has a lovely playful side and enjoys a bit of interaction and attention. Alfie is looking for an experienced, confident owner who can provide ongoing training, structure and guidance. He isn't particularly interested in other dogs and would prefer to have his people all to himself, although suitable matches may be considered. He has previously lived with cats, so a suitable cat-friendly home may also be an option. Alfie is best suited to an adult-only home with no children , where he can enjoy a calm environment and have his boundaries respected. Alfie cannot be rehomed with children or homes where children visit frequently. Alfie has some behavioural concerns, including a previous bite history, so we are looking for an adopter who is confident and experienced in dog behaviour and management. If you would like to know more about Alfie's behavioural needs and history, please fill out an expression of interest form, and our kennels team will be in touch or contact our kennels team directly.
