Are you right for Alfie?

Alfie is a 4-year-old Labrador. Before submitting an application for Alfie, please read his bio in full. Alfie is looking for a calm and quiet adult only home with few visitors. Alfie needs direct access to a secure garden with 5ft fencing and he needs to be the only pet in the home. He needs experienced owners who have owned a dog with challenging behaviour previously. The process to adopt Alfie is: 1. Submit an Apply To Adopt application form online 2. Once we receive your application we will call you discuss this further 3. If we think you are a suitable match for Alfie, we will arrange a phone call appointment with a member of our training team 4. If your application is a match after speaking to the training team, you will need to visit the centre multiple times to meet Alfie

Is Alfie right for you?

Alfie needs patient owners who understand he needs time to adapt and settle into his new home. He is an active lad who loves getting out on his walks where he can do lots of sniffing and say hello to his polite and calm doggy pals. Alfie is housetrained and is happy to be left home alone for a few hours, although this would need built up as he settles into his new home. AWE licence number 176240 by West Lothian Council.
