History: Arlo is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Arlo, aka Finn, is a sweet little boy that has come a long way in the last 5 weeks. If you want someone who loves to be by your side all the time, he is your guy. He may be a bit shy meeting new people, but he has learned he does not need to be afraid. He is still a little leery of children, and men, but that continues to improve. He has been around many other dogs and gets along well with big and small. Another confident dog would be great for him, to help him navigate his new life. His tail is constantly wagging, especially when you are talking to him. He sleeps in his crate at night and will crate up on command, as long as a treat is involved. He keeps his crate clean, but does like to hoard toys, and things that he finds around the house. I have not seen him chewing them, he just likes to have them as his own. He is discovering toys and likes chewing on bones and chews. He loves being outside in our fenced yard and will explore the entire area. He is doing well on a leash and loves to explore that way. He does "announce" people coming to the door, or a sudden loud noise. Because of that he would not be a good fit for a shared wall house. He wears a belly band in the house and is progressing with his house training. His neuter appointment is scheduled for July 24th, when he will also have some dental work done.
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
