Arlo Love You So

Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is currently fostered in a loving home with three kids (ages 4-12), and his daily routine reads like a cozy family story. Mornings start with breakfast and a short walk to the bus stop with the kids, followed by backyard zoomies and toy time with his small dog buddy. Then it's nap time... until the kids come home and it's right back to play, connection, and winding down together for the evening. He is house and crate trained, knows the rhythm of home life, and truly thrives when he knows where his people are.

Arlo is estimated to be 1 year old, he weighs 48 lbs. and may be a husky/shepherd mix but of course, he is a rescue so we cannot guarantee age or breed. Arlo's foster has had a wonderful front row seat to the Arlo show and shared so much about him. We lovingly call him 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 and in these moments, you see just how adoring and devoted he is. This is when he looks to his person for reassurance while he figures things out. But with a little time, a little patience, and a steady routine... on the other side you have the sweetest, most devoted boy who just wants to be close to you.

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, but he's a smart, trainable boy who just needs time, consistency, and someone willing to show him the world can be a safe and gentle place. One thing that helps Arlo feel his best is having a canine buddy, especially a smaller dog. He absolutely lights up around his little foster sibling, following along, playing, and gaining confidence just by having that companionship. Bigger dogs can feel a bit overwhelming for him right now, so 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 spent time with a cat and has done well with slow and proper introductions with a cat.
