My story

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

- Social and wiggly; enjoys people, will come right up to say hi, and likes to lay in laps



- Avid bone collector who would love nothing more than to have all the Nylabones and Benebones



- Such a curious boy who loves to explore absolutely everything



- Equally motivated by treats and toys, so training is very fun for him



- Can be a bit socially awkward with other dogs and may come on a little strong at times, but he's a good boy and may enjoy like-minded dog friends



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.
