Alfie is sweet, a bit extra excited at first or shy. He is a rescue and we do not think he had it easy before us.. he is very loving and likes to be around people and does not have a problem with other dogs or cats. Alfie had been boarded before with multiple dogs and he plays well with others. We also have a rag doll cat brother at home and they get along well. He is scared of fire works and may need assurance that all will be ok.
