Meet Alfalfa
I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue lists Alfalfa as male "Chihuahua" in Corona, California. He is described as a 9-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing in at a perfect 14 pounds of lap-dog love. The listing also says breed and age are not guaranteed.
Alfalfa recently lost his bonded buddy, Taquito, and has been feeling lonely. He would truly enjoy having a canine friend, though it is not required. The listing describes a calm, patient home where he can feel secure and loved as the one he is ready to settle into.
Alfalfa is gentle and a little shy at first, and he blossoms once he feels safe. From there he quickly becomes an affectionate cuddle companion who loves staying close to his person.
He does well with other dogs and is cat-friendly. Alfalfa is housebroken, walks nicely on leash, and currently uses a doggie door. He is comfortable in apartment living and shared-wall environments.
Alfalfa was originally adopted from the rescue as a puppy in 2017. Due to changes in his family’s circumstances, he is now searching for a new forever home, through no fault of his own. He is described as in great shape for his age, neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
To adopt, the listing asks you to visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, shots up to date, a micro-chip, and a fecal and vet check. To ask about Alfalfa’s personality, health and adoption steps, contact I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue.
