Story
Hello. Archie is a 4 year old goldendoodle that my aunt gave me. I have had him for about 2 years. He is a sweet loving dog with high energy. He loves to be outside so it would be great if you had a fenced in yard. Although this is the reason I am looking for a new home: he loves to be with people. He is a big lap dog and wants to be around his person all the time. He is definitely like those doodles on tik tok are described. My workload has increased and I’m not home a lot. He needs people around him. He sleeps on his bed by my bed. I love him and want and good home that would keep him inside except for the fun times outside. If he sounds like a dog you would like to add to your family please contact me.
