Default Alf Needs a Home

I am moving back to Connecticut and cannot take my Alf with me. He is a pug/corgi mix and looks mostly corgi. He is almost 6, well behaved, very house broken, good around other pets, walks on a leash, crate trained, sweet and very loving. I originally rescued him from the Humane Society and that would be my last resort before I move in September. Please help me find Alf a loving home. Email me at raccugliag@hotmail if you can help.

You definitely need to post a photo of Alf. You can click on Edit, go advanced, and click the little paperclip and attach a photo.

Actually instead of clicking the paperclip, scroll down to manage photos if the paperclip isn't there.

Unfortunately I do not have a digital camera and would not know how to get the picture on the internet if I did. However, I have pictures of Alf on my camera and could text them to anyone interested. Alf is red/beige, 35lbs , has the true corgie bat ear and is absolutely adorable.

You could email the photo to yourself off your phone. Then download it and attach it to the ad. Just want to help Alf. Pictures speak a thousand words.

I don't have a smartphone so I don't think I can email from it, but I will try. Thank you for your concern and help.

By any remote chance do you have an actual photo of Alf....not one that is on the camera, but one that is printed on photo paper. And do you have a scanner? If you did, you could scan the photo and save on your computer, and then be able to add it to your post.

Perhaps you could have a neighbor take a picture of Alf and email it to you.
I'm in Canada right now or I'd offer to take a picture for you.
Jnieman is right, a picture speaks a thousand words and will definitely help Alf find a new home.
Best of luck to you.

Default Photo of Alf

We sent you a PM. We would be happy to meet up and take a digital photo of Alf and help you to post it. Agree with the comments that a photo will greatly help your chances to find a new home for Alf.

Have spoken to both central florida pug rescue and florida corgi rescue. Both were sympathetic but said they do not take in mixed breeds.

I have pictures of Alf that Stoneybrook texted to me. Unfortunately, my smartphone does not allow me to forward them to myself so that I can put them up here. Does anyone have that capability on their smartphone (mine is very basic) that would agree to PM Stoneybrook with their phone # so she could text the pictures? Then you could either put them up or email them to me and I will.

He's really cute and looks kinda like Alf!

Crosby sent me a PM - what a smart dog he is!
Cros told me he would really love to have a little six-year old brother called Alf.

And did Crosby give you any suggestions as to what to do with Isa the Cockatiel in order to stay legal with the two-pet rule?

Don't answer that.
