Rescue Dog of the Week: Alfie the American Bulldog Mix

February 3, 2012

Alfie is a young, male American bulldog mix and a shelter favorite. He has been neutered and is up to date with his routine shots. Not much is known of his past since he was found as a stray, but there is no denying Alfie is a darling dog that would make a great companion. This sweet pooch is looking for a foster home, or even better, a forever home. Ace of  Hearts is a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs—the day they are to be euthanized—from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes. It does not take dogs in. It rescues only from shelters. Its adoption days are normally held every Saturday at  the West Hollywood  Petco at 508 N. Doheny Drive from 1-4 p.m. Click  here  for information on how to adopt a rescue dog from Ace of Hearts. Be sure to follow  Beverly Hills  Patch on  Twitter  and “Like” us on  Facebook .
