If you are looking to add some sweetness to your life, look no further then Archie. Archie is a two and a half year old, 35 pound Corgi, maybe Corgi mix with a such a sweet, gentle nature. He was surrendered to CCFR by his family who were moving out of state and had too many dogs to take him along with them. Archie has led a fairly sheltered life, pretty limited to his family, home, and back yard. He is shy at first meeting but does warm up and gives great, full body wags. He’s a pretty mellow guy, but has recently discovered he has Corgi related opinions on noises and people outside so an apartment situation is not a good fit. He is content to hang out with you in the home but would like some adventure time as well. He is potty trained, crate trained, and non-destructive in the home. He walks nicely on leash despite his lack of experience with it. His immunizations are up to date, he is neutered, microchipped, and heart worm negative. He would do well in a home with a secure, fenced yard, with someone who is more at home than not to help him learn about this big world and develop his confidence. He is not cat tested or young child tested. He might be ok with older, respectful children. He would do well with another congenial dog in the home but not do as well if the other dog is very dominant because then his confidence would never get the chance to develop. He could stand to shed a few pounds so daily walks and getting him out to experience more of the world as well as monitored feedings are required. He would be a great companion dog for someone as he is so in-tune with the humans around him. If you are interested in meeting Archie and possible adoption, please complete the Meet and Greet/Adoption Application under forms. We require an application, references, home check, and that Archie meet all those living in the home. Archie’s adoption fee is $400 and we do not adopt outside of Colorado.
