About Alvey

Alvey is a handsome senior boy who weighs around 68 pounds and was estimated to be born in 2012. He is deaf but that doesn't stop him from being a loving and affectionate companion! Alvey was picked up by a local shelter in September 2022 and has been with us since. He had an ear infection when he first arrived, which has been treated, but his hearing loss is permanent. He happily walks fast to greet you for attention and enjoys sleeping on dog beds.

Ideal Home

Alvey would love a home where he can spend his golden years showering his family with love. Due to his deafness, a securely fenced yard is a must.

Ongoing Health

Alvey is deaf, and had an ear infection that has been treated.

Training & Support

Alvey is crate trained and good on a leash. We are unsure if he is house trained.

Application Details:

  • Applications to adopt Alvey start by contacting us through Wags.
