Pet of the Week: Alvin - ADOPTED
Alvin was pulled from a kill shelter in rural KY. He's very sweet and nearly fully housebroken. We don't know his history; he was brought in as a stray. He does however have scar tissue on the bottom of his throat. This makes us think he had a collar embedded that did damage to his larynx as a baby.
Alvin is still pretty young - about a year old. He's on the small side for medium dogs or the large side for small dogs; maybe 15 or 20 pounds. He's very active and loves to play. Extremely friendly and outgoing and never meets a stranger, whether it be human or animal. He love squeaky toys and balls to play fetch.
We had to guess at his breed and came up with beagle and cattle dog. But if you ask me, he's 100% pure bred Kentucky Brown Dog. I've pulled a few dogs from this shelter now and they all seem to look similar. Brown with black tips. Short, usually a bit long. They all seem to have mostly beagle in them with some cattle dog, but also maybe just a drop of chow and german shepherd. His true genetic make up will probably never be known, but we do know he's full of love and desperately wants a family that he can share it with. Would that be you?
Alvin is UTD on vaccinations and neutered. He is parasite free and current on preventatives.
