Alfie is a sweet, gentle, playful black Greyhound who loves people, puzzle games, outdoor romps, and settling down on the sofa. Born in Ireland and raced in the UK, he is now looking for a quiet forever home near Woodinville.

Ideal Home

Alfie would do best in a quiet single-family home in a suburban or rural setting with an enclosed backyard. He may thrive as the only pet or with a compatible, laid-back Greyhound. Due to his vigorous prey drive, he cannot live with cats, small dogs, or other house pets. He should not live in an apartment, townhouse, or densely populated neighborhood, and his home should not include younger children.

Alfie is somewhat timid in unfamiliar situations and benefits from gentle reassurance and guidance. He enjoys walks and has good leash manners, but needs quiet, open walking areas where encounters with non-Greyhound dogs can be avoided.

Ongoing Health

Alfie weighs about 65 pounds. He is vaccinated and neutered.

Training & Support

Alfie is not cat trainable and has a strong prey drive. He is comfortable around Greyhounds, while non-Greyhound dogs can initially make him uneasy. His professional trainer has developed a desensitization approach for his enthusiasm around certain toys, including squeaky balls. Four free training sessions are included with his adoption so his new family can learn the approach.
