My story

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

- A huge cuddle bug and total goofball; convince he's a lap dog and loves to be the center of attention



- Wants pets from everyone, even strangers; will put his paw on you if you stop petting him before he's gotten enough



- Enjoys playing with tennis balls and will hit the ball around with his paws to play by himself



- Does well when left home along; enjoys laying on the couch and watching TV to pass the time



- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness on walks



- Smart boy, knows sit and lay down



- Appears to be housebroken, just remember any dog may take time to adjust to a new schedule and routine



- Has done well living in an apartment, but would also love having lots of space to run around



- Has done well with kids



- May enjoy spending time with dogs who have a similar play style, but can be shy at first and would do best with a slow introduction



- 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.
