My story

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

- Beautiful, kind girl with a sweet personality; a perfect mix of adventure buddy and couch potato



- BIG cuddle bug; may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once she feels comfortable she'll be your buddy



- Prefers to approach people on her own vs. having them come up to her; curious about people and wants to be friends, just needs some time and space at first; may need extra time to become comfortable around men



- A fan of peanut butter and pup cups; also loves her toys and will carry them around in her mouth



- Loves her walks, especially when there are squirrels



- Making progress with housetraining but will need some help from her new family to get 100% there



- Does really well in a crate



- Looking for a teens-and-up home right now



- Seems curious about other dogs, but can be unsure and socially awkward around them (dog intro recommended)



All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their 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, not breed label.
