More about Alfie
Alfie is a cheeky, playful and affectionate Greyhound who has quickly charmed everyone with his soft nature and delightful presence. He loves attention from his known people and is often found playing with toys, zooming around paddocks or enjoying gentle fuss.
Alfie enjoys gentle walks, enrichment games, and then a long nap on a comfy bed.
A secure garden is needed for Alfie so he can have a safe area for his playful side and the occasional burst of energy. This will also come in handy while he is learning the basics and the routines of home life.
Alfie is very sociable with other dogs, especially other Greyhounds, and he enjoys their company on walks and in calm social settings.
As one of Alfie’s favourite things to do is play with toys, he can become grumpy when he has to share them with other dogs. We feel he would prefer to be the only dog in the household, where he can relax, enjoy his toys, and build a close bond with his new family.
With kindness, consistency, and plenty of affection, Alfie will blossom into a loyal, fun-loving and trusting companion who gives back every bit of love he receives.
Alfie likes a fuss and will paw at you if he wants more when you stop.
Alfie has shown in his previous home that he has sleep startle so any new owner should be happy to work with this and understand that Alfie does sleep deeply and can be startled if he is woken suddenly

Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
