About Archie:
Archie has a mild temperament, easy-going, SUPER smart and follows directions. He is friendly, lively, and close to people; he would greet everyone with a sweet smile and non-stop wagging tail. He is good with dogs and behaves very well when meeting other dogs outdoors; he is also calm and friendly with cats around. His favorite pastime is taking daily walks and hanging out with doggie friends in the park. He is crate and potty trained to sleep overnight; with no barking nor chewing issues when left alone. Archie can fit into any type of family quickly, also can be a great candidate for family looking for sibling to the existing dog. Archie is patiently waiting for her forever home!
Please watch his videos and notes from the foster parents to know him better.

Notes from Archie's foster parents:
Archie is a very happy boy! He is full of energy but also knows when to calm down. He is very good on the leash, does not pull and pays attention to the person walking him. He is interested in other dogs during walks but knows playtime is only in the park.

Archie is very kind to all animals and people, including children.

Archie knows many commands and is being trained in English. He currently knows the commands;
- sit
- down
- roll over
- turn around
- up and off (of objects or furniture)
- loose (to let go of toys or unwanted objects)
- Crate (from a distance he will enter his crate)

Archie is a funny boy with a goofy personality which brings us as fosters a lot of joy in our home.
He knows when it is time to calm down and will find his crate or place. He loves belly rubs and attention. He is very playful with us but also on his own, he loves his toys but does not destroy them.

About Archie’s rescue:
While tending the feeding site in the suburb, the volunteer found two puppies, about two months old at that time, apparently deserted by their owner. When the pups approached her with helpless pleading eyes, the volunteer could not turn her back on them but to pick them up and arranged a foster family for their care soon afterwards.
