Meet Alfie! Alfie is a Schnauzer mix born in July 2015 who weighs 30 pounds. He comes into Rescue from Texas. Alfie was a homeless dog...starved, sick, and weak. In dire need of help and by sheer desperation he ended up in the lobby of a Texas motel. Thankfully some savvy motel employees reached out to local rescuers first before taking him to one of the many kill shelters in the area and we were able to take him directly into our care. This poor boy is in terrible shape and is currently with our vet partner receiving the life saving medical treatment he needs. Alfie is very weak, has a burden of worms, is anemic, dehydrated, and will need a blood transfusion. We need this precious angel to keep fighting just a little longer and after we pull him through this we will make sure he never has to fight this hard ever again. When Alfie is ready he would love to have a home of his own to go to! He needs a wonderful family who is committed to giving him so much love and affection that he will forget all about the neglect he has endured for so long. Alfie is a very sweet boy and is great with people of all ages and other dogs. He will be neutered and up to date on vaccines prior to placement in his forever home.
