Alfie is an approx 4-5 year old Bull Mastiff x Staffie. He is intelligent and need occupation! He currently plays at being a lumberjack grabbing lower branches of trees..but with an interesting walk we can do better than that! He will release for treats and caught early enough he can be distracted. He is good with other dogs and likes to play around with Jess who is a bitch of similar size, breed and age. He would suit a strong handler. No cats and no live-in children as he would knock them over.

Alfie has been neutered; wormed and defleaed. Alfie bless was picked up stray walking along in the sunshine. He has no marks on him and seems to have been cared for in the past. He doesn't show any fear assoc. with people and in many ways a super dog who just needs a chance.

An update on Alfie from our Forum today:
“Walked Alfie again today, a pleasure. In fact we went for a jog - at first he pulled a lot but settled to nice pace. I offered him treats which he refused but after my cup of tea he accepted treats from me for the first time. He waited patiently watching me pay. |A large traffic cone was treated like a tree branch and told what for! He didn't get a grip though and left it nicely after lunging at it. Same on the way back.Such a lovely boy - he grows on me each time I see him. Those lovely eyes, so honest and steadfast. Couldn't get him to pose for the camera but here are some at the cafe”.

I absolutely LOVE this dog!!! He was one of the first dogs I saw tonight and I've since seen him on-line a LOT!

Did he find a home? I really wanted to meet him but we have children here, they are used to big dogs, my brother has a ridgeback and we used to own a boxer/greyhound until she died We went to see a rescue mastiff/ridgeback today but it wasn't suitable for us - that was another beautiful dog *sigh*

I LOVE ALFIE

Here is Alfie's current ad ... he is still in kennels awaiting his forever home. He is also available for fostering or 'foster with a view to homing'. He is a 'Mr Softie' and despite and article in the Sun he has not attracted much attention because of his size/breed. If this type of dog is your passion, then Alfie is a lovely example.


History: Found Stray ?Aug 08 Yorkshire

Salient points: Larger bull breed who would suit family with similar experience. Not assessed in a domestic setting. Been in kennels too long. Applies his intelligence and energy to only interesting thing to hand securing branches; distractable.

Advert: Alfie was found stray already neutered and obviously cared for. He has a 'Mr Softie' temperament which sadly is currently judged on how he copes with long-term kennelling which we have to say..he copes with very well. He will grab branches within the exercise area but "hey this is at least something I can apply my intelligence and frustrated energy to. Ahh but a treat; whow that's preferable!" Alfie really needs his home. Alfie is neutered, vax'd and chipped. Currently kennelled in Croydon Surrey.

Alfie is just an ordinary guy; who no doubt comes from a ordinary background..fallen on hard times or just didn't get off their backsides to go out there and research where he could have gone to!: Too much trouble which is probably how they managed him...training too much trouble; walks too much time. We're convinced that despite Alfie's long wait for better times..better times are on the way..hey look there is spring in the air and we'll soon be putting a spring in his step. All the best homes are rescue homes! Isn't he a beaut!

Please visit this dog's individual thread, in Dogs needing homes in our care on our forum to find out more about them and follow their progress.

If you are interested in re-homing please complete our homing questionnaire so we can ensure our dogs are matched and will suit your circumstances/lifestyle.

"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found"

I was really looking forward to meeting Alfie last Saturday and he didn't disappoint me. Despite his size he is a very gentle dog. I gave him some some treats from the palm of my hand and he gently waffled them up with the merest of touches. This guy truly deserves to have his time in a home with some serious loving. That time can't come soon enough - would love to see him out of kennels. Here are his photos ... a very special dog:




Holly doing a little flirting with Alfie, he was playing hard to get!

I met Alfie a couple of weeks ago and he touched my heart. Here are a few more photos taken on the day we met. He is Staffie Rescue’s Dog of the Month and all his recent photos are on the gallery - Dog of the month Alfie. I'm hoping someone else falls for him soon.

Oh, so very gently taking treats ...

Alfie has a special place in my heart, so there was no way I could visit the kennels yesterday and not take him out for a walk!

Steve (JJ's fosterer before he was homed) and his friend came to help Lynne and I walk some dogs. So we took out Charlie, Alfie & Murphy together.

Alfie is easy to walk and so laid back. Not bothered by the other dogs at all and just taking it all in his stride. Both Steve & his friend were truly smitten by Alfie and enjoyed taking turns walking him ... with the exception that they bickered over who walked him I just knew their heart strings would be twanged

You could see that Alfie enjoyed his walk today as he had a massive smile on his face when he chilled on the cool grass with us when we got back.

A very special boy ... we just need to find that very special person!









He is still looking for a foster home or forever home.

He is beautiful. His face reminds me of a Shar Pei a little bit, especially the first few pics of him at the top of the page

I hope he finds a perfect home soon
