Alfie reminds mom a little bit of the dog she had before me, why? Well he’s deaf. But that doesn’t make him any less of a dog! The only difference is that he doesn’t like being snuck up on, which now is easy to do because he can’t hear. He also has a tendency to bark at full volume when he barks (which isn’t that often) because he doesn’t realize how loud he is. Still, he’s a sweetie and would love a new home without any young children. He really is a sweetheart and, boy does his nose work well since his ears don’t! This dog can find food in an iron box I bet!
From the website: Alfie was rescued 3/25/05 from Pinole Shelter. He was adopted 6/19/05, but now needs a new adult home because his current home now has a toddler that he does not tolerate. He is special needs since he is deaf. He was neglected, so when he came to us he had bad ear infections that caused him a lot of pain and ear drum damage. After several vet deep ear canal cleanings and antibotics, it did not help relieve the pain so he had to have ear drum surgery to remove the decaying membranes. He is a brave trooper despite all he has been through. He is very sweet, loves to snuggle on your lap and is well behaved. He likes other dogs, and needs another dog in the household to be his ears. He so deserves a family for life. Alfie is courageous and wants to be your best friend for life…all heart and joy.
