- LOVES to lean against you and get all the pets and good boy head pats; will give you puppy dog eyes if you stop petting him too soon
- Enjoys chew toys like collagen rolls or yak cheese to keep himself occupied
- Throws his own toys around and likes chasing after stuffed toys but hasn't quite learned how to bring them back
- Likes going on walks and sniffing all the things
- Loves rolling around on the carpet for a good back itch
- Loves to cuddle on the bed or couch after a long day
- Can be a bit of a wiggle worm while cuddling
- Rides quietly in a kennel in the car
- Foster family says he rarely barks unless another dog barks at him and has an adorable bark that sounds like a cow moo
- A pro at going into his kennel when asked and loves napping in there when his foster family is gone; has not had any accidents in his kennel
- Sleeps through the night in a kennel
- Great at doing his business quickly outside once let out
- A little scared of stairs, but getting braver each day
- Sometimes isn't sure how to act around other dogs and can be socially awkward, but has been interested in the other dogs in foster home and sometimes tried to play with them (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.
