Aww...he is the cutest. I think my Babydoll (cat) is as big as him, tho. I wish I could take him, but I can't. I think the picture will help...he's adorable.

when I was looking at the Humane Society website for what items they need I couldn't resist looking at the dogs. Poor Alf was there. It breaks my heart. The picture doesn't do him any favors. He's not a "pretty" dog...but would make a great pet. If I didn't already have two, I'd take him because I'm a sucker for a sob story. I worry that the shock of being in a shelter after having a nice home will make him withdrawn and further hinder his adoption chances.

He is doing very well there, gets lots of walks and exercise and attention. Hopefully he will get adoped soon. He is a corgi mix.

It breaks my heart also.
I feel very sorry for Stoneybrook, it must be extremely painful to see a beloved pet go to a Shelter.
Alf sounds like a well-trained dog, I hope he finds a home soon.

Way to go Alf. Looks like the guy is hard at exercise.

I'm so glad to hear that. I really hope the right person sees the beautiful dog in him and adopts him. My recent rescue had been in various shelters and rescues for over a year and a half. was adopted out and returned one month later--the adopter said he was a crazy dog. He looked so sad and dejected when I saw him and was immediately drawn to him. he's the sweetest dog ever. he's still adapting--tends to get nervous, but slowly realizing he finally has a real home for good.

Sometimes it does take time for dogs or cats to get adjusted to their new homes and environments and day to day changes. You have to give them a chance to be themselves because you do not know what their previous life was like and all they want to do is show they love you in the end.
