This is our wonderful Alvin – our little pocket rocket.  This little boy is back at rescue as his current family have had a change in circumstances and are unable to meet his needs.

 

This sweet dog came to us from Spain – but we knew he was going to be a firecracker from the get go – as he actually bent the bars on his crate whilst traveling in the van over to the UK.  This is a dog that was never a pet before coming to the UK and was more than likely living free with other dogs outdoors.  He is young and adorable and we think a Podenco / Terrier cross- approx 3 years old

 

Alvin lives with other dogs and he is a free range kind of boy.  He likes people – and has done very well in his new home – but he does require a lot of guidance and support and freedom.

 

His current home has worked with him and he has learnt a lot about how to live as a pet and behave indoors.  But he would need a family that followed our guidance and continue working with Alvin so he doesn’t slip back to old habits

 

He would ideally have a rural or semi rural home life.  You would have a large garden (possible acreage / small holding) – this would allow you to let Alvin enjoy freedom and adjust to his new life.  Going for walks is very exciting for Alvin – being restrained by a lead adds a lot of anxiety for him – so if walks could be avoided that would be great provided he still has freedom to roam in an outside space.  He can live with other dogs – but he is a very bolshy young man and thus can be a bit of a bully – so the other dogs would ideally be larger and ‘seen it all’.  He could live on his own as well – provided the owner invested the time in him.  

 

His current family are no longer able to meet his needs and he needs to find the home that has the time and energy for him.  He is a smashing dog – but not for the feint hearted.
