My story

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

Archbald is new to our care; however Be sure to check back soon for updates on this sweet boy!!

Introducing, this sweet and gentle boy .. Archibald, or Archie as we call him 🥰

Even with the loss of both his eyes, this boy has so much love to give. He is estimated to be approximately six years old and weighing 25kg.

Archie has a wonderful demeanor to him; he is so confident and trusting. Although since his surgery he is still learning about the idea of certain doggy things like dog food, squeaky toys, chewy bones, etc. and deciding what he likes and doesn't like.

He absolutely loves his walks and sniffs like crazy as that is one of his senses which is becoming more in tune with the world around him. Also, his hearing plays a huge role as you can imagine. 

He is happy to meet everyone (two legged humans or four-legged fur friends )and approaches with confidence to get pets and scratches. On occasion, he will jump to greet someone, but it is rare that he does this…… I believe it is because he knows a dog lover when he meets one and he wants to give them extra love 🤗🤗💗

😺 when it comes to Archie's Foster feline sibling, Archie is extremely curious and can always sense when his kitty cat is close by. Our cat is not afraid of him, but will let him know when Archie is getting a little too personal.🫣 Archie is very gentle, often giving big wet kisses to Tucker (the cat). However, when Tucker starts getting chatty and a bit playful, Archie gets a little more intense and forgets how big he is. We always ensure that we are around the two of them when they are together exploring and getting to know each other.

He has found his place on our dog loveseat without any introduction or encouragement 😄 He sleeps extremely well during the night on his bed in our room 💤💤

💯❌Archie absolutely despises his crate, and due to the stress level it has caused him, we do not put him in it at all. Currently, we are slowly, in short spurts, leaving him on his own in the house. Whenever possible, we take him with us, or we ensure that one of us is home with him. We ensure all doors are closed and a baby gate is at the stairs. So far he has done great! 👍👏 We leave the TV on for sound and to, ensure that he does not get startled or stressed by strange noises. It seems to work.

Archie is the most AMAZING Boy💖 He is calm, quiet, chill, easy-going, loves head, ear and face rubs, and just being close to his humans 💞 He is a rockstar! 🐕🥇✨
