It's one of the most common myths about adoption: that shelters only have older dogs, and never puppies or popular breeds.
Alfie busts that myth. This French bulldog cross pug was just 12 weeks old when he was adopted from Lort Smith.
Today, Alfie's big ears and sideways smile light up his home, which he shares with another Lort Smith alumnus, a black cat called Henri.
Puppies and kittens, purebreds and crossbreeds, young and old: animals of all kinds come through our Adoption Centre looking for new families. New animals are added to our website every day.
