Settling into a new home is never easy. It means getting used to a different setting, with people you don’t know, and undoubtedly a whole set of expectations that might take some real compromise to achieve. But, after six months with his adopted family, Alex has made astounding progress!
This two and-a-half year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi isn’t shy about asking for what he wants. He’s already perfected that “look” that’s so hard to ignore (it’s all in the eyes). But, if you don’t speak up, you often miss out. Take for instance, scratches...
Alex readily admits that he has a good sense about people the moment they say hello. And, when his family-to-be stopped by the MSPCA Centerville, it was love at first sight, for everyone!
Yes, this shopping cart Corgi has already had a lot of adventures, including an unplanned ride in a borrowed (and later returned) bright, blue carriage. During a recent outing, the family car broke down and everyone took a long walk while repairs were being made. The return trip was too much for Alex who gladly accepted a lift.
Always eager to say hello to anyone who smiles at him, Alex is the friendliest little guy you’ll ever meet. He’s also a working dog who escorts his resident jewelry designer to Cape Cod beaches to find exactly the right stones for her creations. See the beautiful results, here.
Alex, you’ve landed in great home! Thanks for being our Sunday Dog.
