My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Alphy is a 2-year-old bundle of joy who’s ready to find his forever home! This playful boy absolutely loves playing ball and having fun with his toys—it’s his favorite way to spend the day. Though he can be a little shy when meeting new people, it doesn’t take long for Alphy to warm up and show his sweet, loving personality.

Alphy is a smart pup who already knows basic commands like sit, shake, and lay. He’s very treat-motivated, so teaching him new tricks and reinforcing good behavior will be a breeze!

At his large size, Alphy is strong on a leash and will benefit from a family who can help him work on his leash manners. He’s an adventurous spirit with a knack for finding his way out of fences or doors, so a secure yard and careful supervision are a must.

If you’re looking for a playful, loving dog with a dash of adventure, Alphy could be the perfect fit for your family. Come meet him today and see if he’s the one for you!

*Just a heads up, the way dogs behave here at the shelter might not be exactly how they act in a home environment. Dog behavior can change once they find their forever family. These are just our observations from their time at the SPCA of SWMI.*

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal is a long term commitment and is therefore a serious decision which should be given ample consideration. A furry companion is a delight, but make sure that you understand the obligation of ownership as well.

Do you know how much yearly vet visits cost - and food, and toys? The ASPCA estimates the annual cost of a large dog to be $780, and a cat is $575. Of course the monetary commitment fluctuates somewhat depending on an animal's size and specific medical needs, but we can guarantee that you will be spending a significant amount on him each year. Do you have time to exercise with your pet? Some dogs have more energy than others, but most would benefit from daily walks. Even cats are better off when their owners are able to set aside daily time for play. Make sure you can give a pet the attention he craves and deserves.
