Arlo

My story

Hi, I’m Arlo! I just arrived in CO this week and am settling into my foster home with another large dog (a GSD.) I haves learned my name quite quickly! I was found as a stray in Texas and nobody came forward to claim me! I’m a big baby who loves to cuddle. I kind of act like a giraffe who doesn’t know how to use my legs, and I like to jump up to wrap my legs around you to give you a hug! I am a playful puppy that needs some help building up my confidence. I am potty trained and foster mom says I’m doing great in my crate so far. It sometimes takes me a few moments to settle down. I love other dogs and will play with them nonstop after I’ve gotten to know them for a day or so. I would do well in a home with or without another dog. The things foster mom is working on with me include: walking on a leash-I go back and forth and in circles, so I am learning leash pressure. I like to jump to say hello and will jump when I’m excited. We are working on crate training at different times so I do not develop separation anxiety. I am very scared of new noises, especially big and loud ones. I will bark if I am unsure of a noise, so will need a family who is willing to be patient with me. I was quite literally starving on the streets and in the shelter, so I will eat any food I can get my paws on, so we are working on patience around food and knowing that I am going to be fed. Please note: He is expected to grow into a large dog and is already pretty tall and active. He will need to go to a home that is going to continue crate training (no questions asked!)
