Additional Details

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

– Can be nervous around new people and things and is looking for someone who will treat him with understanding and take things at his pace until he feels comfortable

– Recently went on a Dog’s Day Out field trip: “Very sweet pup who LOVES truck rides. Has a lot of energy to keep going on walks, but will lay down and relax with you if needed.”

– Knows sit and quickly learned shake

– Prefers to eat his food in peace; looking for a teens-and-up home right now where everyone is old enough to understand this, and if he goes to a multi-pet home, this will also need to be managed – we’re happy to talk with you about ways to work with him on this when you visit

– Can be an introvert around other dogs and may prefer one-on-one interactions or smaller groups of dog friends; may enjoy a like-minded dog friend in his new home (dog intro recommended)

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.
