My story

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

- Smart girl, knows come, down, stay, shake and sit!



- Total goofball who loves toys and being silly



- May enjoy like minded dog friends



- Does well on a leash



- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train



- 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



- 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.
