My story

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

- Enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style



- Smart boy, knows sit



- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness



- Loves people and activity and likes to be at the center of whatever's going on



- Active dog who is ready to accompany you on all your adventures; looking for a family who loves being active just like them



- Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs, which some dogs may not appreciate; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro recommended)



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



- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity and mental challenges to keep their bodies and brains busy



- All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for age



- 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, and not breed label
