From the foster: This is Arlo. On January 24, he arrived Colorado Puppy Rescue at 7 weeks old and weighing only 3 pounds. Within days he'd been to a neurologist and diagnosed with hydrocephalus and an uncertain life expectancy. On January 28th, Arlo moved into his new foster home, where he continues to live as he grows and explores and waits for his perfect family to come and claim him.
Arlo is an amazing puppy who continues to surprise me everyday. He's spunky and playful. He loves to run around and explore every new sight, sound, smell he encounters. Arlo loves other dogs; especially his foster brothers. He his crate trained and is making amazing progress with potty training. He takes his medication like a champ every morning; just a little doggy spray treat on a spoon does the trick. He's learning basic obedience, including sit, "kennel, and to come when he's called (which he has basically mastered). He's learned how to climb onto the couches and is always down for a good cuddle session when I'm done with work. Arlo makes me laugh constantly and has managed to get himself out of trouble a few times by making the cutest expressions you've probably ever seen. He's a classic Velcro puppy and I know he'll become your favorite new companion just like he's been mine for the last few weeks.
Arlo will always be a special needs puppy and he will probably continue to need medications for the rest of his life. No one has really been able to tell us what the future will look like for him, but I know that with all the love and care, he's going to make the most of every day and be the happiest, spunkiest, most loving puppy. If you think Arlo sounds like your kind of dog and you've got a little extra time, patience, and love to give, come meet him!
