Please contact my foster parent by email for information about adopting me.

Alif is a fluffy toasted marshmallow! He walks well on leash and successfully hangs out with other laid-back dogs here at the shelter. He's looking for a home with a dog-savvy adopter or transfer partner at this time to help him manage some resource guarding in the home. As our longest resident, Alif is a volunteer favorite and would love to find a home with someone who will love him for who he is. Email animal.care@ventura.org for more info!
