Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is estimated to be 1 year old and weighs 48 lbs. He may be a husky/shepherd mix, but of course, he is a rescue so we cannot guarantee age or breed. Arlo is lovingly called a "slow bloom, big reward" kind of dog. He can be shy when meeting new people and may hang back at first, taking everything in from a safe distance. With a little time, patience, and a steady routine, you'll discover the sweetest, most devoted boy who just wants to be close to you. He is house and crate trained, knows the rhythm of home life, and truly thrives when he knows where his people are. Arlo's foster has shared that he absolutely lights up around his little foster sibling, following along, playing, and gaining confidence just by having that companionship. He has also done well with slow and proper introductions with a cat.
Ideal Home
Arlo would feel most comfortable in a home with a yard where he can settle in and build confidence at his own pace. He would also do best with a smaller, friendly dog or a calm, easygoing larger dog (with a thoughtful introduction and decompression time). Walks in busy or unfamiliar places can feel like a lot for him right now.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
