Arlo

My story

Hi, I’m Arlo! An adorable almost 2 year old Australian Shepherd! I am on the hunt for my perfect family and I am hoping to find it here. I am a BIG fan of laying right beside you if you're cooking, relaxing or outside sun bathing. I love a good scratching! I do great with other dogs and would do well with older children as well. I am weary of strangers and will bark at them if I feel threatened. I despise a crate and will try to convince you that I am dying while in one, but after a few minutes I calm down. I've never pottied in the crate for my foster Mom. I am a medium energy dude with a lot of love to give to those that give me the time and patience to adjust to new schedules and surroundings. I do get excited when my foster Mom gets home and can hop 3 feet in the air, because she needs to see me! If I have a brother or sister fur pup, I will play with them, but I want your attention the most! I’M HERE WAITING! Go ahead and take a chance on me!
