My story

Introducing Awkward Arnold! Arnold is about a year old and arrived at the shelter as a stray who was absolutely terrified! It took him some time to come out of his shell and that`s how he ended up with his nickname of Awkward Arnold. This sweet boy has so many wrinkles that he always looks a bit worried (even when he isn`t scared). Really all he`s worried about is making sure he gets enough snuggles, and that he`s given you enough kisses (and also that he gets enough treats).Arnold enjoys playing with other dogs and matches other dog`s play styles so he doesn`t even make the resident grumpy dog in his foster home mad. He does well crated when his foster parents leave for the day (he can be a little naughty so shouldn`t be left alone unsupervised quite yet!).Arnold took several days in his foster home before he felt relaxed enough to play with toys. He now enjoys both collecting them in the bed, and randomly abandoning them around the house. So far he`s the happiest when he`s snuggling or playing with the other pups in the house. He`s a pro at taking naps whether you`re teleworking or just having a lazy day in bed. He`s an A+ snuggler and often wants to be the little spoon. If you decide against spooning, he`ll show you his wrinkly worried face, give you some kisses, and if you still don`t give in, he`ll curl up in a ball next to you or at the foot of the bed. Arnold loves to be with his people and will follow you around the house.Arnold thinks little kids are scary (so does his foster mom) so he needs a home without the little ones. Where Arnold`s social skills with other dogs are top-notch, he`s socially awkward with people. Meeting new people can be a bit of a struggle, but he trusts people more if they have a dog for him to play with! Arnold`s perfect home? A quiet one without a ton of visitors, and at least one dog BFF to play with. He`s awkard. But he`s also awesome.See more photos and videos of Arnold here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/adYnycCKtKcKABCS9Email his foster mom at MariaBitofLuck@gmail.com
