My name is Ford!

- Happy to get attention from everyone he meets

- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness

- Likes treats and is good at taking them gently

- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train

- Super into spray cheese and peanut butter

- Prefers to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a home environment and has had time to decompress

- Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs, which some dogs may not appreciate; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro recommended)

- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home 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.
