My name is Arlo!

Arlo is a sweet gentle giant, he is big at not even 9 months. I do adore him. He was not expected, we did not plan to get this dog - he was given to us and I have tried but I have an elderly father living with me and the exuberant puppy at this size scares us, he runs around as a puppy should but my dad is going to break a hip as he doesn’t stay away and is more stubborn than the dog.
Arlo is house broken and knows his basic commands but he also has separation anxiety with me and I work ALOT in this economy. He won’t roam off the property which is great but he also will not go for a walk or get in the car because he is so anxious.(it’s why he is not up to date on his shots) I would have got him fixed but I was told it’s bad for the big dog bones and it might escalate or freeze his anxiety so have avoided it.
He really is a sweetie pie he is just a puppy in a big body. I do not do this without feeling awful pleas know that- but he deserves the best life and he is crated a lot for dad
