For today's featured pet of the week, Blue Ridge Humane Society would like you to meet Alfalfa! He's a big, squishy love bug with a heart of gold!
Alfalfa — or Alfie, if you’re lucky enough to be his friend — is a big, handsome black-and-white lovebug. This snuggly boy has quickly become popular with the other dogs at the shelter, making fast friends everywhere he goes with his happy, eager personality.

While Alfie can be a little shy at first, that just means the more you get to know him, the more of his sweet, loving personality he’ll show you! Once he feels comfortable, he’s all about affection and has become a certified professional cuddler with staff. He’s perfected the gentle nuzzle whenever pets accidentally stop before he’s ready for them to end.

Equal parts affectionate companion and curious adventurer, Alfie is always excited to meet new friends, explore the world around him, and then curl up close for some quality cuddle time afterward. If you’re looking for a loving, social, and endlessly lovable best friend, Alfie is ready to wiggle his way right into your heart.

Learn more about Alfalfa and other adoptable pups at blueridgehumane.org/adopt or by calling 828 692 2639
