CO/Archie

My story

Archie is a 6 1/2 year old, purebred, neutered male with a stunning liver and white roan coat and an athletic build.  He is solid and compact in size, weighing 41 pounds.  He’s as handsome as he is smart, and he’s ready to find his forever family! Archie came to NBRAN after his previous family’s living situation changed from a home with a yard to a condo. Since Archie thrives on being outdoors—playing, sniffing, and exploring—he struggled without the space and yard that he loved. For that reason, Archie’s new home must have a secure fenced yard (6 ft. required). This bright boy already knows sit, shake, down, spin and would love to keep learning. With his smaller frame, agility could be a perfect fit for him! He’s very food-motivated, making training both fun and rewarding.  Once he eats his supper, he might get a "food coma" and then start to wind down for the evening.  He is happy to sit next to you while you watch your favorite TV show or read a good book.  He will sleep in the crate with the door open, but prefers to sleep in bed with you or on the couch.   Archie enjoys the company of other dogs and must have a doggy sibling in his new home.  He has not been cat tested.  Like many smart pups, Archie sometimes practices a little “selective hearing” when he’s nose-down in the yard—but the sound of a treat bag brings him running every time. He’s ​an alert barker and will let you know if something seems out of the ordinary.  He is great on walks and will not pull you down the path.   Archie’s ideal match will be an active person, retired, or family who loves the outdoors as much as he does. Walks, babypool/water, casual hikes, and backyard adventures are his absolute favorites.  If you’re looking for a loyal, compact size, smart, and energetic companion, Archie may be the perfect match.   The adoption fee for Archie, who lives in Highlands Ranch, CO is $350, which helps offset our vetting and allows NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful family members.  If you are interested in making Archie a part of your family, please complete the on-line application by visiting www.nbran.org .    Your state coordinator/volunteer will conduct a phone interview, home visit and vet check as part of the approval process.  Once all 3 have been approved, we will begin the matching process.      Transportation can be arranged up to 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.March 28, 2026, 8:22 pm
