Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is a handsome husky/shepherd mix, estimated to be 1 year old and weighing 48 lbs. He is a "slow bloom, big reward" kind of dog, meaning he can be a bit shy when meeting new people and may hang back at first, taking everything in from a safe distance. However, 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 loves to be part of the family's daily rhythm. He is house and crate trained and enjoys morning walks, backyard zoomies, and quiet nap times.
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. He absolutely lights up around his small foster sibling, following along, playing, and gaining confidence just by having that canine companionship. 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.
