Just weeks ago, Alfie’s story was nearly cut short. The 5-year-old miniature Husky was on the euthanasia list when a small network of rescuers refused to let his life end there. In a last-minute effort, foster Kristine in Lake Stevens shared his story, and Lesa stepped in to help coordinate his rescue. With quick action—and a transport effort that moved multiple dogs from Lacey to Arlington—Alfie was saved just in time.
After everything he’s been through, Alfie is finally safe, loved, and learning what it means to simply be a dog again.
Why He’s the Ultimate Adventure Buddy
🐾 Age: 5 years old
🐶 Breed: Miniature Husky
💖 Sweet, cuddly, and people-oriented
🎾 Playful with a big love for walks and outdoor time
🚶♂️ Great on leash and enjoys daily exercise
🐕 Can live with other dogs or be an only dog with activity
😺 Can live with confident, dog-savvy cats (with proper introductions)
Alfie is the kind of dog who thrives on movement and connection. He enjoys having a playmate but is just as content as long as he has an active home that includes him in daily life.
What He’s Looking For
✔️ An active adopter who enjoys walks, hikes, or outdoor adventures
✔️ A home with a securely fenced yard (6-foot fence required)
✔️ A family that understands Husky energy and exercise needs
✔️ Either a dog companion or an engaged human who keeps him active
✔️ A safe, structured environment where he can continue to thrive
Alfie needs space to run, play, and stretch his legs—he’s not a couch potato, but he is a loyal, affectionate companion who loves being close to his people after a good adventure.
