Alfie is now being fostered in South Wales and is now up for rehoming.
The ideal sort of home for him would be an active family who will be committed to bringing Alfie on as he hasn't had much in the way of training (he is housetrained though). We would prefer sensible older children (12+; he has lived with younger children but we get the feeling they were too much for him as he was too much for them ;))
He will be neutered before rehoming (plus can be seen at the weekend ;) Aberdare Carnival and the Hope Rescue show in Nelson)
Adoption procedures are here (along with the adoption form, which you can download from the website) Four Paws Animal Rescue Adoption Procedures (http://www.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/adoption_procedures.html)

Good luck in your foster home Alfie, I hope you find your forever home very soon and have a long and happy life :luv:
-
He is really beautiful - lovin that Elvis lip on the first pic! :luv:
Good luck handsome boy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
Just occasionally, one of these rescues makes me want to throw common sense out of the window and get on a ferry - and Alfie is definitely one of those dogs for me :luv:
I am sure he will find his forever home soon; and hopefully, his new owners will become (or already be) members of COL, so that we can keep up to date on his progress and see him mature into a fabulous companion :D
-
Aaaaw he's absolutely gorgeous isn't he? He has made me think about throwing caution to the wind once or twice too! :luv:
-
Ahhhh Alfie - I'm hoping your forever home is on it's way - just wish it was me you are adorable :luv: :luv:
-
Good Luck Alfie :luv: :luv: :luv: Have a feeling that such a special lad will find a fab home really quickly :D
-
What a Gorg boy! :luv:
I hope he finds the right home soon.

Did you have someone in mind, Mark? :005:
(I can't imagine anywhere better ;)) :-*
-
Has Alfie won over Mrs Top Barks as well then? ;)
-
(I can't imagine anywhere better ;)) :-*
Me neither! :D :D
-
he looks a lovely lad and one that doesnt deserve to be in rescue. 10 months old and in south wales ? puppy farm??
whatever his circumstances I hope he gets a forever home soon.
mark if you are in the running I wish you well. A better home he would not get.
-
I met him at the Four Paws show, he's gorgeous! :luv: :luv: :luv:
Reminded my of the handsome Jarv :luv:

Comes from a breeder that is breeding working cockers but doesn't work them or do anything with them and just sells them to pet homes. As per usual ending up in the wrong type of home for his needs

Reminded my of the handsome Jarv :luv:
Yes I am interested and would love to add him to the Top Barks gang if he is the right dog.
I'm waiting for a call from Kirsty to discuss him further.
We'll have to wait and see i guess

-
:o That was quick!!!

How fantastic - he is a lucky, lucky dog! How his life will change for the better now :D
But, Mark, what did you have to do to persuade Mrs TB?? :shades: :005:
He looks gorgeous :luv: :luv:

Jarv sez good luck, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and he hoped that he was a good enough boy on the New Forest walk so Mrs TB was won over by the solid liver chaps :D :luv:
YEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA!
we all know with Mark, failure is not an option & patience, love, compassion and fairness wins the day - and I'm assuming that the ;) from Penny means what I think.
If so, I can't wait to meet Alfie next time you're down this way :lol2:
(just squidged the brown boy here a bit too tight celebrating, he's looking at me in disgust now :shades: )

Hopefully you will get to meet him Helen!
Don't know why Cath has gone for this? just showed her the piccies and she never said no straight away which was a good sign.
I also need another dog I can do something with as both Douglas and Bayley have their isues as you know and ollie is ready for retirement.
Oliver is my only 100% dog friendly dog which as a trainer I need from time to time.
If Alfie comes here he'll be working for his keep, which will be good for him.
I intend to keep a video diary of his progress this time which is something I wished I had done with Bayley.
I just hope for all our sakes things work out!

Alfie was one of those that just stole my heart when I saw him, and I really had to consider him, but OH was not keen on me having a third, so I am sooooo pleased for him and really look forward to watching his progress.

Kirsty has gone away for a few days and then we have to arrange how he is coming as he is in south wales and I am in yorkshire.
I keep looking at his piccky :luv:
I'm just waiting for a call to arrange something. ;)
-
Hope you don't have to wait too long Mark, I saw something rather special about Alfie when I looked at his photos :luv:
Congratulations and all the very best for your future with Alfie.

-
Oh I'm so pleased they he's going to join you Mark. When you look at his picture he really has something about him :luv:
-
He's a lovely boy. Bracken really liked him and she isn't generally fussed about other dogs, especially when she's at a show. If you come down for another meet around the New Forest, maybe I'll be able to talk OH into coming along. He really wanted to take Alfie home :luv:
-
blimey how did i miss this excitement :o
3 is the magic number, but 4 just takes it to another level :shades:
brilliant news hope it all works out well :D

The suspense is killing - must be awful waiting Mark >:(

It'll happen when it does I guess :D

Its a difficult one as everyone knows we are a very small rescue and our priorities are for saving dogs form being pts (and Alfie is effectively safe) we do every week so and in order to help Mark out we are going to meet up with him but unfortunately this will take time over the other things we do. I know Kirsty is trying to aim for next sunday but doesn't want to tie herself to that (her mum collapsed last weekend while I was on the phone with her). Plus I know Mark also wanted to wait anyway. So everyone will just have to be patient, we are trying our best.
-
Like I said Penny I am not in a rush. ;)
I have three hooligans here already so I can wait for another :D
I must be mad! :lol2: but I am really looking forward to meeting my new project when he finally lands. :D
-
mark hope it all goes well for you
-
As long as Alfie is going to Mark eventually, we can wait! ;) :D Sure it will be worth the wait for Alfie and for Mark :luv:
-
Unless for some reason he doesn't get on with mark's its logistics really
