Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is a husky/shepherd mix, estimated to be 1 year old and weighing 48 lbs. He is a "slow bloom, big reward" kind of dog, meaning he can be shy when meeting new people, but with a little time and patience, he becomes the sweetest, most devoted boy who just wants to be close to you. He truly thrives when he knows where his people are and is looking for someone to be his special person.
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. Walks in busy or unfamiliar places can feel like a lot for him right now. He would thrive with a canine buddy, especially a smaller dog, as he absolutely lights up around his little foster sibling. A home with a smaller, friendly dog or a calm, easygoing larger dog (with a thoughtful introduction and decompression time) would be ideal. Arlo has also done well with slow and proper introductions with a cat.
Ongoing Health
