16 years old

MALE | BORN APPROX MAY 2009 | JACK RUSSELL TERRIER

LOCATED IN AUCKLAND

Alvin loves a slow, sniff-filled wander around the park — every leaf deserves a nibble and every tree deserves a little attention (if you know what we mean). He’s a dream to walk staying close by your side and keeping things nice and relaxed. He doesn’t really "run" (too mature for such shenanigans), but every so often he gets a little pep in his step.

This sweet boy's favorite thing in the world? You. Alvin greets you with body smooches and wagging tail joy. He loves to roll over for belly rubs and gently beg for affection — he lights up when he gets some gentle love.

Alvin slots into a doggy crew like he's always been there. He gets along beautifully with other respectful dogs and has no interest in drama — no resource guarding, no fuss. He even tried to play with a toy the other day, though he quickly decided a nap was the better option!

Alvin's dream home is a calm, loving home where he can spend his days sniffing, snoozing, and soaking up affection.

If you’re ready to give this sweet, happy old man the retirement life he deserves, apply now!
