About Alvin

If you’re looking for a sweet, mellow companion, Alvin might be the guy for you! Alvin is a bit shy around new people, but once he learns you’re no threat, he’ll offer you a small tail wag. And once he really knows you, Alvin’s real personality comes out!

While Alvin should be a good fit for most adult homes, we know for a fact that he is not a fan of kids. Alvin is fearful towards children and babies, and will do best in a home without little ones running around.

Alvin was recently in a foster home, where he lived with another dog and was a lovely houseguest. If you’d like to learn more about Alvin or meet him, we’d love to introduce you to him. Adopt Alvin!

Retriever temperament

Retriever types are generally sociable, food-motivated and easy to train — among the most forgiving dogs for a first-time owner.

Exercise

High — 60-90 minutes daily with fetch and swimming as favorites.

In a NYC apartment

Size and shedding are the constraints, temperament rarely is.
