This handsome big boy with the goofiest grin is Arlo, and he is as sweet in pyrson as he looks in the pictures. Although we know very little about Arlo's past, we do know that he is the best boi and has the pawtential to be one lucky family's best companion. Arlo understands many basic cues, and he is eager to please - we are pretty sure he is the type of boy who would never forget his "pleases" and "thank yous" if he could speak. Being a young boy and all, Arlo has an abundance of energy that would benefit from regular enrichment activities. Arlo will never turn down an opportunity to go for a sniff walk, or better yet, if you have the time to take him on a leisurely stroll in the woods, that would be the highlight of his day. On the other hand, if you have another playful pup who can handle a big boy, Arlo will be delighted to oblige in any sort of game. Now, if you absolutely have to do chores, Arlo would love to tag along for the car ride, and hope for a puppacino! All-in-all, Arlo is a delightful boy who simply radiates joy and happiness. We are pawsitive that he will fit into your active family in no time!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
