Hi!  People call me Alvin.  I am a big, sturdy five year old boy and I came to BHRA from a shelter.  I made myself right at home in my foster spot.  I am well behaved, very friendly, and I have a great personality!  My foster mom thinks I am a little too "interested" in cats so I probably should not go to a home with them.  I do terrific around the other dogs my same size, but I for some reason I don't really like little dogs.  Maybe it's because they remind me of cats? I have been told that I have an amazing confidence that people don't usually see right off the bat in us shelter dogs; but I figure, what the heck!  Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.  I think I will do well in most settings!  I love to go for a walk and while I still pull a little, I do well on leash.  I just can't help it!  There is so much to smell and see on my walks, I just get excited!  I learned the doggie door right away and I have faithfully used it since.  Sometimes my foster people have to leave me with no access to my door...but I do great!  No accidents!    I really like my toys and can be a little bit possessive of them, but who can blame me...toys rule!  So are you interested in me yet?  I have finished my nasty heartworm treatments and I am happily settled into my foster spot.  Give my foster mom a shout and ask about me, why don't you?


Adopted by the Stanton Family of McDonough, Georgia!
GOOD GOING ALVIN!
