My story

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

- Total goofball who loves toys and being silly; chew toys are his favorite!



- Snuggly, loves butt scratches



- Super smart; knows sit and shake and will sit and wait for you to throw his toy when you ask him to!



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



- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity and mental challenges to keep their bodies and brains busy



- Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro recommended)



- All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for 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, and not breed label
