My story

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

- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip and her human companions said she walked nicely on a leash and was happy to lay down and relax after they go home from their walks and time at the park



- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train (already knows sit!)



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



- Tends to be an introvert around other dogs and may prefer one-on-one interactions or smaller groups of dog friends; may not be comfortable at dog parks or at large, dog-friendly events (dog intro recommended)



- 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.
