My story

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

- Smart girl, knows sit!

- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended)

- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended)

- Prefers to explore and do their own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once they're in a home environment and have had time to decompress

- May prefer to be the only dog in their home

- 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.
