About Arlo

Meet Arlo!

Arlo is a sweet young pup who is learning that the world isn't such a scary place after all. He can be timid in new situations and takes a little time to warm up, but once you've earned his trust, you'll have a loyal friend for life. This handsome boy is very food motivated, which should make training a breeze. He's already working on crate training and is making great progress. At night, he has proven trustworthy enough to sleep outside the crate and does very well. Arlo loves to keep an eye on his people and will happily follow his foster mom around the house. While Arlo may start out shy, his affectionate side quickly shines through. Once he's comfortable, he seeks out love and attention and will reward his favorite humans with the sweetest little kisses of appreciation. He especially looks up to his confident Great Dane foster brother and takes comfort in having a canine role model nearby. Arlo's biggest challenge is building confidence, but considering the rough start he's had in life, he's already come so far. With patience, love, and encouragement, there's no limit to what this wonderful boy can accomplish. Beneath his cautious exterior is a happy, loving dog just waiting for someone to believe in him. Could you be the person who helps Arlo discover just how amazing life can be?

Ideal Home

Arlo needs an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue his training.

Ongoing Health

Arlo has a slight limp in his rear right leg, likely due to a birth defect or an injury sustained when he was very young. Fortunately, it doesn't slow him down or seem to bother him at all. He does not require any special treatment or ongoing veterinary care for his leg. Arlo is fixed, current on vaccines and preventatives, and heartworm negative.

Training & Support

Arlo is almost 100% crate and potty trained and is making great progress. He is food motivated, which should make training easier.
