Meet Alfie!

Alfie is a four-year-old Shih Tzu who lives with owners Lynne and Alex.

Lynne said: "We rescued Alfie from Birkenhead Kennels. He loves chicken and sausages and going in the car to New Brighton for a little paddle and a roll in the grass.

"He likes visiting the kennels to say hello to everyone (he knows he wont be left there now) and he loves meeting other dogs, no matter how big or small.

"He also likes to watch 'Supervet' with me. He has settled in so well we cant remember ever being without him. 

"Alfie has been through so much in such a short time. He is adorable."
