Why is Your Pet "Rescued (or Stray) and Extraordinary"?
We adopted our extraordinary dog, Alfie, from City of Elderly Love in early March, exactly a year after we lost our sweet Marcie. It had only been four months since her passing, and we were still mourning her deeply. While on vacation in St. Lucia, we saw Alfie's photo and immediately felt he belonged with us.

City of Elderly Love is a wonderful organization that rescues senior pets. Alfie had been surrendered due to his original owner’s health issues. Although heartbroken, they wanted him to have a happier life.

We picked him up in Philadelphia from his amazing foster mom, Victoria. Alfie is nine years old and completely different from Marcie. He has the cutest personality. He is very social and full of charm. He loves people and other dogs. When we are out walking, he often stops just to watch someone pass by. He truly is the mayor of our development.

It is almost comical how, when you go to pet him, he immediately flops over for a belly rub. He spends much of his day on his back, looking up at us upside down. We do not know much about his previous family, but they must have been very loving. He may have lived with other dogs, as he is always looking for attention and affection.

Alfie never barks, follows my husband everywhere, enjoys lounging on the lawn, and raises his voice in the evening when he wants one last snack. He also loves long walks.

Our amazing pet sitter, Michelle, brings her dog Charlie to help watch Alfie. The two of them are adorable together. Alfie chases Charlie all around and insists on entering the house first after walks. He also has his loving Aunt Dawn, who helps care for him.

Alfie has brought so much joy and love into our lives. He truly is one of a kind.
