Alfie, the 15-year-old dog, is hoping for a loving home!
The 15-year-old dog Alfie from Cologne-Dellbrück is looking for a new home or staying in the animal shelter due to health problems.
Alfie, the 15-year-old dog, is hoping for a loving home!
A touching story is causing a stir at the Cologne-Dellbrück animal shelter: 15-year-old dog Alfie, who was given a new home because his owner was ill, returns to the animal shelter. During this time, not only was Alfie's health compromised, but the challenges for his new family also increased. Alfie suffers from gastrointestinal problems and has chronic eye inflammation, which is why his condition is described as “far from stable”. Now we are considering whether it would make sense for him to be re-homed or whether he should stay in the animal shelter, where he needs daily care.
Despite his health problems, Alfie's joy for life oozes: he enjoys going for walks, even though he is often tired and his senses are dulled. At the animal shelter he got along well with other dogs and has fixed rituals that give him security. The carers are unsure whether moving would be the right decision for Alfie. Nevertheless, they hope that he can enjoy the rest of his life, whether in a new home or in an animal shelter.
Volunteer work for the animals
The current animal welfare situation
In recent years, the admission of animals into animal shelters and rescue centers has remained at a high level. According to statistics on animal protection, the challenges facing animal shelters have not diminished. This development shows that the need for support and a strong network of helpers is essential to help animals in need like Alfie.
There is hope that people will stand up for the animals and give them a better life. Alfie's story is just one example of many that shows us how important commitment and support is for animal shelters and their residents.
