arlo

Arlo is currently in a foster home! Please call the shelter to schedule a meet & greet so we can coordinate with his foster (:Arlo is a big dog with an even bigger heart. He has stolen the heart of just about everyone he`s met but it seems his size has held him back from finding the perfect home. Arlo has a calming presence to him. He is very attentive and knows when it`s playtime or snuggle time. Arlo has gone out on many Miles & Mutts adventures and loves every second of them. Strolling through nature is one of his favorite things. He does great in the car and is down to go on an adventure as long as you are. Arlo has proven to not just be well mannered but also incredibly smart. He is potty trained, crate trained, walks great on a leash and knows the cues ‘sit’, ‘shake’, ‘lay down’, ‘wait’ and is currently working on ‘down’ as he gets excited from time to time and will jump up on you! Arlo enjoys playing fetch and will carry toys around with him. Arlo is not overbearing when it comes to playing but he will be his happiest self with having a positive outlet for his energy. When playing with other dogs it is important to make sure there are enough toys to go around! Arlo is a social butterfly - as friendly as dogs come! He has yet to meet someone he doesn`t like and has done great with children too. Please keep in mind that though Arlo is AMAZING, his size may be intimidating for some small children. Arlo has not been reactive towards other dogs in the shelter. In his foster home he has had the opportunity to meet with MANY other dogs - he is friendly, respectful and will even choose to play bow to encourage a game of chase! Arlo has needed verbal correction when coming in contact with dominant males but he is easy to redirect and his gentle personality shines through. Even in those situations. It is important that introductions are taken slowly and adopters are able to read dogs body language so that a correction can be made if needed. He is currently in training so we feel this can only improve!We recommend a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed. Arlo is seriously such a cool dog. He is a shelter favorite and we want nothing more than to see him succeed. As of November 2nd, Arlo has been in our care for 67 days.
