Hi there! Alfredo here.
I'm the charming little guy you didn't know you needed—fluffy, affectionate, and absolutely devoted once I decide you're my person.
Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.
I've been holding down the fort in Princeton, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Alfredo

About Alfredo
Alfredo is a sweet, fluffy little guy with a gentle heart and a playful spirit once he settles in. When he first arrived, he was a bit unsure of his new surroundings, but it didn't take long for his true personality to shine through. After a short warm-up period, Alfredo shows himself to be an affectionate, fun-loving pup who enjoys being close to his people. He has a moderate energy level and enjoys playing with toys, but he's just as happy hanging out nearby. One of his cutest habits is laying right at your feet while you're getting ready — he clearly loves being close and keeping an eye on his person. Because of this, adopters should be aware that he may present as a trip hazard as he tends to stick close once he's comfortable. Alfredo is still building confidence in new environments and with new people, but he warms up within a few minutes and becomes friendly and engaging. He is eager to please, gentle by nature, and does well with small dogs. He can be vocal at times, particularly when other dogs are barking or if he is confined in a kennel. He does not enjoy being crated, but this hasn't posed an issue in his foster home. Alfredo has done well being left out when his foster is away, especially in a home with a doggy door, which suits him best. Because of this, a home that can accommodate his preference for freedom rather than confinement will help him thrive. Alfredo was found as a stray, so much of his early history is unknown. He was slightly underweight when he arrived but is otherwise in good condition and doing well with consistent care and nutrition. Alfredo would do best in a patient, understanding home that will give him a little time to adjust and continue building his confidence. In return, he offers sweetness, companionship, and a loyal little shadow who just wants to be near you!
