—

– Loves cuddling up to get pets from her people and sleeping on the couch

– Likes to stay active and will enjoy having plenty of activities to keep her occupied

– A sweet, friendly girl who will make the perfect best friend for an active person or family

– Seems to love being in the car and is calm during the ride

– Foster family says she is getting used to being in her kennel and has not had any accidents in their home, just remember any dog may need time to adjust to a new schedule and routine

– Does great with bath time and doesn’t mind having her toenails clipped

– Has LOVED spending time with other dogs in her foster home

– Came from a situation where they did not get the socialization and exposure to the world that dogs typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may struggle with new situations, may show uncertainty with novel everyday objects, may need help understanding leashes, and will need patience and structure with housetraining.

– Has done best with a “helper” dog when it comes to learning that people can be OK, and we recommend that they go to a home with another dog

– May not do well in a busy home with young children

All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)

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.
