Additional Details

– Loves to learn and has great focus – especially if you have treats!

– Knows sit and shake – good boy!

– May prefer to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he’s in a loving home environment and has had time to decompress

– Does well on a leash – wanna go on adventure?

– Young kiddos may overwhelm this fella, so he’s looking for an adults-only home right now (mature home recommended)

– Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro recommended)

– Can be socially awkward around other dogs; must meet any resident dogs before adoption (dog intro recommended)

The ARL’s shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.
