My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Arlo is an incredibly friendly goofy Bordie Collie/Hound mix that hasn't met a stranger! He is just a people LOVER and will give you ALL the kisses, but he is selective on his doggo friends and prefers older, quiet more submissive dogs but would really do best as the only dog in a home because he just wants to shower you with all the love. We have also learned while with his foster that Arlo can adapt to a cat in the home if his humans are nice and patient with the process-YAY Arlo!

Like many of us hoomans, Arlo does suffer from Anxiety. What this means for Arlo is that he likes to stick close to his people and give them all the love in the world, he likes his things that he deems high value and isn't a good sharer so needs his own space to play with his toys, eat his food, chow down on his yummy Kongs or likes his own bed (he LOVES his crate-it's Arlo's safe space when the world is too much). Arlo does take medication for his Anxiety and this may be something he needs for life to give him an extra hand, just like a lot of us! The poor guy can also be very anxious in storms which can happen to a lot of us-and we get some doozies here in Nashville! Whew!

Arlo does LOOOOVE his people so he would do great as the only dog in a home so he could soak up all the love in the world-which he of course deserves!

You couldn't find a sweeter boy anywhere and he is definitely a Bonaparte's team member fave because of his love of all of the snuggles! He is also so incredibly smart and learns VERY quickly so the sky is the limit with Arlo!!! He loves to go on outings and adventures and does great in the car and is just a lovable sweetheart to all people! While with his foster we have discovered that Arlo loves to do zoomies, he loves a good, long, car trip so would be a great travel companion, and settle fairly easily in to a home environment!

Additional adoption info

Our mission is to insure that all our rescued dogs are adopted into loving and permanent homes. We screen potential adopters and do all we can to insure that you adopt the right dog for your home, family, and lifestyle. Our adoption process is as follows:

Complete our online adoption application at the link below OR visit our website to access the application: http://www.bonapartesretreat.org/adoption.html

If your application is approved, we arrange for you to meet the dog. We then bring the dog to you for a home visit to make sure the adoption is a good fit.

If you make the decision to adopt, a three-week trial adoption period begins during which either you or we can change course and cancel the adoption decision. During these three weeks, we are committed to doing everything possible to assist you and your adopted dog with adjusting to a new home and living environment.

Our adoption fee is $125 (or $75 for special needs or senior dogs, a senior being any dog 7 years or older). Once you have made the decision to finalize the adoption, you will complete our Adoption Agreement and Release.

All our adoptable dogs have received vaccinations, been spayed or neutered, tested for heartworms and either treated or started on prevention, and are current on flea and tick prevention.

Because of our process, we usually adopt only in the middle-Tennessee area (within an approximate hour's drive of Nashville) and regret that we are unable to do adoptions outside this area or out-of-state.

Go meet their pets

Because we are foster-based, we do not have a facility open to the public. When you submit an application for one of our adoptable dogs, we arrange for you to meet that dog one-on-one as soon as possible.

Adoption Events and Meet & Greet Events are held at various times throughout the year at many locations. These are not regularly scheduled, so always check our Facebook page or website to confirm dates and times. Better yet, sign up for our e-newsletter at this link and you'll never miss an event or story: https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/1746961/1727736/?v=a

More about this rescue

Named in memory of Bonaparte, her own adopted shelter dog, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and lifelong dog lover Emmylou Harris established Bonaparte’s Retreat Dog Rescue in 2004. Located in Nashville,

We rescue shelter dogs from Metro Nashville Animal Control and from municipal shelters in surrounding counties. We often focus on shelters dogs who are overlooked or deemed unadoptable--such as senior and large dogs or dogs in need of immediate medical care.

We are dedicated to providing nurturing care for these dogs when their allotted time at a shelter has elapsed. Our mission is to prevent these wonderful animals from being euthanized and to adopt them into permanent, loving homes.

Bonaparte's Retreat is a small foster-based 501(c)3 nonprofit dog rescue organization. Visit our website to learn about how you can help, support us, foster, volunteer, or adopt. www.bonapartesretreat.org
