My story

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

Meet Arlo, a gentle German Shepherd mix who is looking for a loving home where he can truly thrive. Arlo came to our shelter as a stray, and his journey hasn`t been an easy one. He arrived filled with fear and uncertainty, having been lured into a trap, and it`s evident that past experiences have made him wary of humans. At first, Arlo would retreat to the back of his kennel, trembling and paralyzed by fear. However, with the dedication and patience of our staff, he has begun to trust again. Though he still has moments of fear, Arlo is learning that kindness exists in people. He seemed slightly more at ease when meeting another dog at the shelter, even showing small tail wags, which gives us hope that he may flourish in the right environment. He needs a calm and patient household where he can take his time to adjust and learn that not all humans will let him down. If you have a heart full of compassion and the patience to help Arlo discover the joy of a forever home, he could be the perfect companion for you. Let’s give Arlo the second chance he deserves! If you are interested in meeting Arlo, please come to the shelter. Your love could make all the difference in his life!
