Alfie - Foster me

Alfie is an approximately 10-year-old, 21 lb schnauzer mix with one of the gentlest souls imaginable. He is looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home in the Chicago area while he continues his medical journey. When Alfie first came into rescue as a stray from Chicago, his body was covered in unusual bubble-like cysts hidden beneath severely matted fur, and it was clear he had been living uncomfortable and neglected for a very long time. Despite everything he has been through, Alfie has remained incredibly sweet, quiet, and grateful for kindness. He is an easy dog to have around and seems happiest simply relaxing near his people, sitting outside in the fresh air, or quietly following you around the house.

Ideal Home

Alfie would thrive in a calm, loving environment where he can continue healing and finally feel safe.

Ongoing Health

Alfie's cyst biopsy results came back benign. He has recently been neutered and had several masses removed. Alfie does have an enlarged heart and a grade 4/6 heart murmur. He is currently on Vetmedin. The rescue provides food, supplies, and medical care while he's being fostered.

Training & Support

Alfie is a calm and quiet dog.
