Albie had a beloved human for his whole life. Then, sadly, his owner went to hospice, and Albie was left almost entirely on his own for a while before he made his way to Miri's. In his foster home, Albie has been recovering from the trauma of all the changes and getting back to the cheerful, loving pup he was before.

Albie loves people and gets along with other dogs and even cats. He would be fine living with an older child who can give him the space he needs to adapt. He is happy to go for leash walks (although he is still learning this skill) or car rides and generally sleeps through the night. Housetraining is still a work in progress, so he's rocking the belly band/potty pad scene for now. He does well when left home alone in his xpen to nap.

It seems like Albie is unable to hear, and his vision is somewhat limited. He can walk up a few stairs, but not a staircase, and prefers to be carried down. He loves to eat and loves to get scritches under his ears and at the base of his tail. Loves to follow people around. He is not a snuggly guy and does not get on the furniture but he can be held for short periods.

Albie would love a home with a fenced yard so he can wander around at his own pace and do some sniffing. He will need patient people who will help him continue to get over his fear and adjust to having more limited vision.

Albie needs someone who understands that confidence doesn’t appear overnight, who will celebrate his tiny victories, keep working with him when the leash feels scary, and give him the patience to keep becoming the good boy he has always wanted to be. If that's you, apply today!
