My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on here, before you fall head over heels for me I must tell you a little bit about Big Man Arthur. I am an ultra cute little dude, very affectionate, loyal and protective. Let me accentuate the Protective, as I know we'd all like to pay attention to just the Cute part! I love my people and my home and myself very very much, and I feel the overwhelming need to keep these cherished things safe from strangers, and sometime I feel the need to keep them safe from people I have met once or twice before. The professionals that I have worked with in the past say that this is fear based, and between you and me, as much as I hate to admit it, I think they are right. I sure like to over exaggerate and act really really tough, but the truth is I am just insecure and unsure. So if I can find a patient, committed, experienced person to continue with my behavior modification program I think one day, I will be able to accept that I am not responsible for keeping away all the scary bad guys. And I will learn that they really are not scary bad guys at all. On the up side, I am super cute! Very smart, housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, great with other dogs- and currently single. 5 years old- 16lbs. My adoption fee is $160 and includes; neuter, microchip, free training support, 1 month pet health insurance, free veterinary exam, leash/collar, toy & treat packet, food sample.
