Alonzo is a handsome 4 ½ year old medium-sized Pointer cross with a striking speckled fur coat. Rescued from a past life as a hunter dog, he was callously abandoned in the middle of nowhere and has since endured the confines of shelter life.
Despite his initial shyness, Alonzo’s nervousness has not translated into reactivity or aggression, suggesting a history of mistreatment. He possesses a gentle temperament and yearns for affection, readily embracing cuddles and strokes from shelter volunteers.
With patience and ample love, Alonzo has the potential to blossom into a devoted and playful companion. His intelligence makes him receptive to ongoing training, making him adaptable to house rules.
In his quest for a forever home, Alonzo seeks an owner or family capable of providing the love and security he craves. Currently cohabiting harmoniously with four other dogs, he demonstrates compatibility with fellow canine residents, though he has not been cat-tested.
This could be arranged for serious offers of a home if needed. Alonzo boasts moderate energy levels, making him suitable for a household with children over 10 years of age.
A secure garden for play and a comfortable bed for rest are essential elements of the ideal home he envisions, with the promise of enjoyable walks in the park.
