- Can be uncomfortable with new people, new things, loud noises and fast movements, but he has made good progress in our care and recovers much more quickly now; looking for patient people who will treat him with understanding and help him continue to gain confidence
- Once he feels comfortable he'll give you lots of big tail wags, bounce over to you for pets, put his front legs flat on the ground asking you to play, and even get the zoomies!
- Loves treats, especially peanut butter, and that will be a great way to build trust and form a bond with him
- Can be busy at times, but once you're his friend he loves to just hang out with you
- Still a little unsure of having a leash put on, but once it is he walks well
- Looking for a teens-and-up home right now to set him up for success
- Can be shy and unsure of other dogs (dog intro required)
- Will be a great friend for someone who can give him extra time to settle in and help him build up his confidence so he can enjoy all the good things in life!
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.
