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. But with a little time, patience, and a steady routine, you'll find the sweetest, most devoted boy who just wants to be close to you. Arlo is house and crate trained and knows the rhythm of home life. He truly thrives when he knows where his people are.
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 thrives with a canine buddy, especially a smaller dog. 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
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 can be shy when meeting new people and may hang back at first.
