Alexander′s Story

I’m Alexander but everyone calls me Alex.

When I was younger, I spent most of my life on a balcony. I watched the world from behind a railing—people, dogs, birds, all living lives I couldn’t be part of. I was lonely, and I didn’t understand why I had to stay out there.

One day, my owner gave me away to a kind foster lady. I wasn’t scared of her—just curious. She showed me what a real home felt like: soft beds, gentle hands, walks, and freedom. She tried so hard to find me a family of my own, but no matter how much she hoped, no one came forward.

When she couldn’t find the right home, she brought me to 2nd Chance Dogs so I could have another shot at a real future. Here, I’m learning, playing, and waiting for the person who will finally choose me.

Character & Temperament

I may be small in size, but my heart is huge. I’m the kind of dog who loves with my whole self. If you sit down, I’ll curl right into you. If you offer a hand, I’ll lean my head into it. Cuddling is my specialty — I think it’s one of the best things in the world.

I get along wonderfully with other dogs, big or small. I like having friends and I enjoy their company. I’m also great with children — their kind voices and gentle hands make me feel safe and happy.

When it’s time for a walk, I’m easy. I walk beautifully on the lead, staying close and enjoying every moment without pulling or fussing.

I do have one small thing: I’m not cat-friendly. Cats and I just don’t understand each other very well.

But with people… I give everything. Love, loyalty, warmth. For someone who wants a gentle, affectionate dog with a giant heart, I’m their boy.

Ideal Home for Alexander

I would thrive in a loving home where I get lots of cuddles, daily walks, and a family who understands my gentle, affectionate nature. A home with other friendly dogs is a bonus, but no cats, please. I do need some work on potty training.
