Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is a year-old, 48-lb husky/shepherd mix who is 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, he blossoms into the sweetest, most devoted boy who just wants to be close to you. Arlo thrives when he knows where his people are and is house and crate trained, knowing the rhythm of home life.
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 do best with a smaller, friendly dog or a calm, easygoing larger dog, with a thoughtful introduction and decompression time. Arlo has also done well with slow and proper introductions with a cat.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Arlo is a smart, trainable boy who just needs time, consistency, and someone willing to show him the world can be a safe and gentle place. He shines with a canine buddy, especially a smaller dog, as he gains confidence from their companionship.
