Arlo is his name and his gentle eyes match his heart perfectly! Arlo is a shy but sweet boy who is estimated to be 1 year old and weighs 48 lbs. He may be a husky/shepherd mix, but as a rescue, his age and breed are not guaranteed. Arlo is 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. With a little time, patience, and a steady routine, you'll discover a devoted companion who just wants to be close to you. Arlo thrives when he knows where his people are and is house and crate trained, knowing the rhythm of home life.
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 would do best with a smaller, friendly dog or a calm, easygoing larger dog, with a thoughtful introduction and decompression time. Arlo has also done well with slow and proper introductions with a cat. He has experience living with children ages 4-12 and enjoys their company.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions or procedures are mentioned in the listing.
