From Southwest English Setter Rescue

Alfie is a one-of-a-kind, high-energy companion with a joyful spirit and a deep love for both people and other dogs. He is 4 years old and about 55 lbs. Alfie was originally adopted as a puppy from the Austin TX shelter, and he found himself back in the shelter as a stray recently. The owner, per his microchip, did not respond when the shelter reached out so SWESR was contacted for help. We knew he wasn’t a purebred ES but he looked “settery” and he really needed out of a very full, very rescue friendly shelter. When he was showing strong herding instincts in his foster home we had him DNA tested and learned he is a diverse mix that matches his outstanding personality and looks (see summary below). Our DVM said that he was severely malnourished and he was either on his own for quite some time or someone was starving him; so it is not surprising that Alfie is very food motivated because he knows what it is like to endure food insufficiency. When it’s feeding time, Alfie spins and does the cutest front leg prancing dance. After spending just a few minutes in the back with Alfie, our Vet said “this dog is going to give someone a lifetime of smiles”. Alfie can tell us a few things…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
