Archie (25-008)

My story

WAITLISTED - STILL ACCEPTING INTEREST  Introducing Archie! Playful Outgoing Affectionate Snuggly Personality: Archie is a lovable, playful, and outgoing Great Dane. He’s eager to please, learns gradually, and thrives once habits are in place. This sweet Velcro dog loves being close to his people and will often lean against them for comfort. He’s used to a variety of environments and has shown he can adapt easily. Socialness: Archie is great with adults and enjoys meeting new people. He’s been gentle and patient with children ages 6–15. He’s curious, calm, and sociable around other dogs, and has been non-reactive to cats and even ferrets. While he’s shown interest in cats, he keeps his distance and might play if he becomes familiar with them. Likes: Snuggling Following his people around Toys Walks Naps Dislikes: Loud noises Knocks at the door (he will bark once) Being left alone Training: Archie knows the commands “stay” and “come” and is working on “sit.” He can be mildly destructive if left alone too long without enrichment and has some minor leash pulling and chewing tendencies. He is crate-trained and does best when crated if left home alone. Archie is housebroken but may have anxiety-related accidents if left uncrated for long periods (2+ hours). Health: Archie is in overall good health. His vet noted a very mild heart murmur on his left side, which should be monitored, but no treatment is needed at this time. Forever Home Wishlist: A physical fence is recommended but not required Archie would do well in an apartment A family that is gone no more than 8 hours a day An adopter willing to continue his basic training and provide enrichment A home where he can be crated when left alone Fun Fact: Archie is often described as “the perfect dog.” He’s incredibly sweet, well-mannered, and not overly loud or whiny. He’s a Velcro Dane at heart but respects your space if you need it! If you think Archie will be a great addition to your family, please reach out to us by following one of the options below. 1.
