Story
Alex is the cutest little sausage dog! Alex is estimated to be around 8 years old and is a sweet and sensitive guy looking for his fur-ever home. Alex is a mellow guy who enjoys the simple things in life like being cozy in front of the fireplace and eating tasty treats. He can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he never wants to leave your side. Alex is a little chunky and would benefit from daily exercise and a diet to help him get to a more healthy weight. He currently weighs around 15lbs. Alex came to us from a local shelter after he was surrendered with his buddy Bruno by their previous owner. We were told it was due to issues with the landlord. At first, we thought the boys were a bonded pair, but as we got to get to know them more, they seemed like they would be okay being separated. Bruno has been adopted, so now it's Alex's turn! Alex is the more outgoing of the two but is the more anxious one. While his buddy has learned to enjoy walks, Alex is more of a stay-at-home type of guy. He has learned to be more comfortable being outside, but would much rather be inside and cozy if given the choice. He loves to cuddle and give kisses but is always able to chill on the couch while you get work done. He would make a great companion for a senior person or couple or really anyone looking for a lap dog. Alex has done well living with other dogs and seems like he would enjoy having a mellow doggie buddy or buddies. Alex has done well living with cats and is great about ignoring them and giving them space. Alex previously lived with kids and could be a great addition to a family with kids older than 10 years old. Alex's previous owner said he and Bruno were pee pad trained, but he has been doing well transitioning to pottying outside. Alex likely would do best in a home with a yard, maybe with a dog door, to make the transition to a new routine easier. Alex is used to being crated when his foster mom is gone and he sleeps through the night in his dog bed. Alex is so ready for a fresh start with his fur-ever family. If you think that might be you, submit an adoption application today! Alex's adoption fee is $250. Apply to adopt here! https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/ Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org) It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption. For more information about an animal, please email dogs@yolospca.org. For more general questions, please see our website at www.yolospca.org. January 4, 2025, 10:04 pm
