My story

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

- Total goofball who loves toys and being silly; loves toy balls and will bring his ball back to you



- Likes to stay near his favorite people



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



- Will easily win new friends over with his bouncy, fun personality



- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness



- Super smart guy who would probably enjoy learning new skills with you (especially if you have treats!)



- Already knows sit and shake



- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended)



- May prefer to be the only dog in his new home



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.
