About

Meet Alvin

Alvin is very sweet and loves to give kisses. He is a compact guy at just 35 lbs. He is around 1-1.5 years old and we do not know what his breed mix is. We are thinking maybe he has some collie and heeler in the mix but we cannot be sure.   Alvin has been with us a short time but so far we have seen nothing but sweetness from him. He has been accident-free and sleeps nicely in his crate overnight. Alvin enjoys the company of other dogs and we think he would be best suited to go to a forever family where he will have a dog pal.    Alvin spent most of his young life as a stray or in the shelter so many things will be new to him. This is why we think having a dog friend will be helpful. Despite things being new he has put on a brave face and did great on his first leash walk (accompanied by friends). A fenced yard is not required for him. His future family should expect that he may need some patience and positive reinforcement to become more brave in all situations. He has been equal parts play and then chill and cuddle in his foster home thus far.    Alvin has been great at events meeting both adults and kiddos. We think he would be fine in a house with kids.    If Alvin sounds like a great guy to join your family please email us for an application at [email protected].    (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
