Hello!

I’m Alfie, a charming 10-year-old labradoodle with a rich chocolate coat that becomes a beautiful ombre when it’s long. My Mum says I’m the very definition of loyalty and affection—always eager to make my humans happy and devoted to them. My eyes are sure to melt your heart!

Even though I’m a bit older, I still have plenty of energy and enjoy walks on my lead around familiar places. I love water and the ocean, though I haven’t had as many opportunities to visit as Mum would like because I’m a bit anxious and need some encouragement to get in the car.

I can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, but I warm up quickly. I might bark a little as a friendly hello, but soon enough, I’ll be looking for back scratches, belly rubs, and offering my affectionate paw.

I’ve always struggled with anxiety—please don’t judge me! My breeders mentioned it early on, but Mum chose to take me in anyway.

I’m a healthy, well-maintained gentleman with all my vaccinations, tick and worm treatments up to date. I’m also desexed and microchipped.

Rehoming me has been a tough decision for my family, who love me dearly. Unfortunately, I no longer get along with my brother. I’m hopeful to find a new, loving home where I can share all my loyalty and cuddles!

Please contact us here at Alstonville Vets on 66285262 and we will put you in contact with Alfie's owners!!!
