Additional Details

– Goofy, wiggly pup who loves toys as well as snuggles

– May prefer 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

– Has the most soulful eyes

– Knows sit and come

– Was mostly housetrained in his previous home and would only have accidents when his family left him for extended periods of time (5+ hours); just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine

– Was crate-trained in his previous home

– Lived with teenagers and did well with them; has a lot of energy and may do best in a mature home where all family members are old enough and big enough to enjoy his enthusiasm

– Can be socially awkward and a bit of a linebacker with other dogs but may do well with a slow introduction and a dog that matches his energy (dog intro required)

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.
