About Alvin von Alsenz

Alvin von Alsenz is a stunning 12-month-old German Shepherd mix with a heart of gold. He's the complete package: handsome, affectionate, and wonderfully easygoing. With a beautiful, plush tri-colored coat and rich red-gold highlights, Alvin is a gentle soul who gets along famously with other dogs and has even been cat-tested. He's a calm walker on leash, always happy to be close by your side. His absolute favorite pastime, however, is simply relaxing at your feet. Alvin is a gentle greeter who walks beautifully with other dogs, always ready to share sweet kisses with people and pups alike. He's a star in playgroups, turning every session into an affectionate party, happily mingling with staff and canine friends, showing off his happy trot and friendly face greets. Gentle with treats and remarkably sweet-natured, Alvin is ready to bring an abundance of love and serene companionship to his forever home. Could you be the one to welcome this incredible being into your life?
