Alfalfa is a handsome 2.5-year-old, 50-pound male Doberman Pinscher mix with a sweet presence and good looks to match. He was rescued from the Stanislaus shelter and is now looking for his forever home. Alfalfa absolutely loves attention and is always happy to soak up affection from his people. He's patient in his kennel, easy to leash, and walks nicely with only minor pulling. Once he's in the yard, his playful side shines with energetic zoomies! Alfalfa enjoys being pet all over and is especially a fan of booty scratches. While he can be a little jumpy when excited, he listens well to "no" and "down," already knows how to sit, and is eager to please. He's incredibly photogenic and always camera-ready!
Alfalfa is energetic but not 'wild' and would make a great hiking or jogging buddy. He loves fetch, going on walks, and hanging out with his people getting pets and love. He is good in his crate, but can be vocal when left alone, so would do best in a home where there are often people around. He is potty trained and rides well in the car. He plays well with other dogs and is great with children. He tolerates cats in the home just fine. Alfalfa has a loyal and protective instinct and needs to personally inspect anyone who comes to the house. However, once told that the new human is "safe," he becomes very friendly. His instinct is to pull on leash to greet other dogs, but he can be redirected fairly easily. He's very smart and eager to please and learn. His happy place is being snuggled up with the humans he trusts!
