Alfie, as his foster calls him, is kinda shy and submissive at first but once he warms up he will be your best friend! He wants to be right with his family at all times and loves getting attention and reassurance that he's a good boy. He also loves to snuggle with whomever he thinks might give him a few pets. Petting another dog? “No problem,” says Alf. “I’ll just wedge in here between the two of you and steal a few for myself.”
Alf was a little unsure of his canine counterparts in his foster home at first, but quickly transformed into the total goofball that he truly is. He loves to play with the other dogs, but is respectful of those who tell him “No thanks.”  He might do well in a home with a confident resident dog to show him the ropes.  If he's an only dog, working on training to build his confidence will be important.  
He has an average energy level and sometimes will carry toys around in his mouth proudly showing them off.  On occasion, he will get so excited that he will talk by woo woo wooing at you!
He doesn’t love going into his crate yet, but once he’s in with a treat or for meals, he does well.  He is crated when his foster owners are away since he sometimes
finds things to chew on. He does love chewy bones and toys of all kinds so just needs to learn what's a toy and what's not.  
Overall, Alf is a joyful dog who just wants to be part of whatever it is you might be doing. A perfect companion for walks, car rides, household chores, or lounging on the couch.
