Leader Pet of the Day: Alphie

Rarely do you come across a mix so fine as Alphie. He is part Labrador retriever, part border collie. That’s a fancy black-and-white mash-up, right there, and makes for a very handsome, smart fellow.

Alphie finds himself at the shelter after his owner passed away. This darling pooch is about 6 years old, would be great in a quiet, adult household and should be the only pet.

If you’re hoping to add some canine companionship to your life, consider Alphie, A068715. Every spirit deserves a second chance at love.
