Meet Arlo, affectionately known as Bubba! Arlo is about a year and a half old and weighs around 28 pounds. His exact breed mix is a mystery, but his personality is easy to understand: Arlo is sweet, snuggly, playful, and full of character. He's the kind of dog who makes ordinary days feel a little more fun and makes walks feel easy, happily trotting beside you without pulling or barking at passersby. At home, Arlo is affectionate and loves to be close, enjoying couch time, naps, pets, and belly rubs. He's also up for playtime, especially with his favorite long, soft toys. Arlo is crate trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and has learned to stay out of the kitchen while people are cooking. He knows commands like "go potty," "sit," and "lie down." He's a sensitive boy who thrives on kind, gentle guidance and really lights up with affection and praise.
Ideal Home
Arlo is social and happy to meet people, though he is still learning polite greetings and may jump or mouth when excited. He's practicing sitting before getting attention, especially around children. He enjoys playing with other dogs and has shown interest in new dog friends, though he can get excited around larger dogs. He has seen cats, squirrels, and turkeys without issue but has not lived with cats, so any introductions should be thoughtful.
Ongoing Health
No ongoing health concerns were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Arlo is working on "drop" and is responding beautifully to affection and praise. He can get excited and may jump or mouth when greeting, especially with kids, so he is practicing sitting before getting attention. Raised voices can make him shrink a little, so he does best with calm, gentle guidance.
