General Information you can share about the Dog.

 

Alfie is a wonderfully loving well behaved dog. However we have noticed he is getting more and more nervous and stressed in our very busy house. When he gets scared he has snapped and with us having young children in the house we cant risk him having a bad turn. We have had him checked and his health is good from what vets have said.

 

We have had plenty of messages of advice but.after weeks of talking we think he needs a quiet laid back retirement home, preferably with no dogs or a dog thats his age and just as lazy as him. We will keep him till we find the right home as this is a heartbreaking decision and I refuse to put him in a rescue as it wouldn't be fair on him. I will delete and judgemental messagea as this is heartbreaking as it is.
