My story

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

Arrow is a special boy with special needs and a special story to tell. Taken by authorities from a sled dog operation in Snowmass Colorado last December, Arrow was underweight and had untreated wounds and skin issues. He came to Thunder Puppy University to continue his psychological rehabilitation after spending a couple months with the compassionate folks at Colorado Animal Rescue, who GREATLY assisted him both physically and mentally.

Arrow is not your typical domesticated dog, but with the proper person(s), he could be one day in the not too distant future. He didn't get a lot of human affection, stimulation, or environmental enhancement in his formative years which left him unsure and unaware of things that most dogs take for granted by his age. He is a little awkward with his Other Dog skills but never aggressive and tolerates (if not secretly enjoys :) their presence, takes a bit to warm up and trust, and is still working his way towards being the majestic creature that nature intended. But he'll get there with a family who will allow him to be himself, consider his needs before their own, and offer huge amounts of LOVE without a lot of expectation.

Arrow is truly a diamond in the rough- we have rehabilitated sled dogs before and there is nothing quite so heartwarming as watching one of these type dogs blossom into a beloved family member. Do you have what it takes to continue to help Arrow?
