My story

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

- Can be shy at first but opens up quickly and becomes a happy, bouncy guy who loves attention and playing

- Loves people and companionship

- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity to keep his body and brain busy

- Favorite things are treats and squeaky toys

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

- Already knows sit!

- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness

- Enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style

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

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.
