10 months old

PLEASE NOTE: Not free, an adoption fee will apply to cover desexing, vaccination, and registration. This will likely be between $300-$400. Only suitable for an indoor sleeping, pet home.

Alamein is a 9 month old, male, mixed breed (Mastiff/Staffy x). He is currently around 23kg and probably won't get much bigger but may fill out a little. Available for adoption from Animal Services Wellington.

Alamein is good with other dogs. He would be fine to live with another dog, and potentially a confident cat. He would be suitable for older children.

Alamein needs a securely fenced property (property check will be done) and a home with someone who ideally won't leave him alone a lot to start with, as he settles in.

He would benefit from ongoing socialization and outings out and about, and potentially obedience training, he can be a little shy and unsure of new situations to start but gains confidence quickly. He loves to play with toys and with his older foster brother (older male staffy) but is respectful when told off for being too bouncy, and after a little play loves to jump onto the couch for a long nap.

He is doing great with his crate training and sleeps in a crate overnight. Alamein is a velcro dog, he absolutely bonds with "his" people and will want to sit on your lap and go everywhere with you. He will be someones absolute best friend. He is a wiggly, goofy guy and a lot of fun! He also loves the water.

Alamein loves food and is very easy to train. He would love a home with someone who has had bully breeds before.
