About Arthur

Arthur is a 5-year-old, 78-pound neutered Staffordshire Terrier/Retriever mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This handsome boy is the perfect combination of playful adventure buddy and affectionate cuddle companion. He was found roaming around a park with some other dogs and brought to the county shelter. Thankfully, a foster agreed to help him out, and now he's ready to find his forever home! Arthur loves life and approaches every day with enthusiasm. He's a moderate energy guy who enjoys playtime, exploring, and spending time with his people. He's outgoing, playful, curious, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. He enjoys toys, loves spending time with his people, and is always happy to soak up attention and affection. Arthur thinks if he can fit, he can sit!

Ideal Home

Arthur's ideal home is one that can provide regular exercise, structure, and plenty of opportunities to be part of the family. He doesn't need another dog in the home to be happy, but he would thrive with people who enjoy including their dog in everyday adventures. Due to his size and excitement, a family that understands his energetic nature and can provide appropriate outlets for his enthusiasm would be best.

Ongoing Health

Arthur is up-to-date on vaccinations and is neutered.

Training & Support

Arthur is fully house-trained and crate-trained. He settles nicely in his crate and has comfortably stayed crated for longer periods. He rides beautifully in the car and absolutely LOVES car rides! Arthur may pull at first on a walk but settles into the routine and does well.
