My story

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

Arthur is such a good boy! He is blind, but can navigate on his own quite well once he learns his surroundings. He is also positive for Valley fever, a life-long fungal infection and would need an adopter dedicated to his follow up and medication appointments.
New to a home, he can be very vocal, but once he settles in you will only hear him bark when he needs to go potty. For the most part, he is house-trained. I work away from the home and put him in wraps during the day, otherwise he will have an accident. He seems pretty indifferent to dogs. He lives with two small canine sisters but has been around larger dogs and did just fine. I haven`t had him around cats, but his former foster did and Arthur did well. I am not sure how he is with kids, but I can`t imagine him being anything but sweet. He definitely is not a cuddler but he loves being around his person. Especially, when they are in the kitchen :). He can`t jump so he doesn`t get on furniture but loves to wander around the house and yard. Currently, he lives with me and his two doggie sisters who are very playful. Outside of that, I would describe our home as pretty quiet and mellow. He sleeps in any dog bed he can claim in the house and is so cute the way he just plops down into one. He hates the car and crates and being in an enclosed area (like a hallway with a doggie gate). And he will let you know!! He does have some joint issues and only takes very short walks. (He could use some more leash training, I usually just let him walk in the yard without a leash.) He is missing quite a few teeth and needs soft food and LOVES bananas. He likes the KONG toys where he can lick for a small taste and loves to chew on socks :)
