My story

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

Ever Met a Dog With More Personality Than Most People?

Hi, I'm Arty—a fabulous small wire-coated pup with enough character packed into this perfectly compact frame to fill a mansion. And let me tell you, I know exactly who I am.
I'm spirited, confident, and I don't apologize for knowing what I want. Some dogs are easygoing and mellow. Me? I'm Mr. Personality Plus, and life with me is never, ever boring.

Here's the thing about me: I like to take my time getting to know new people properly before we become best friends. I'm thoughtful that way. I believe the best relationships are built on mutual respect and understanding. But once you've earned my trust? You'll have the most devoted, loyal companion for life. I promise you that.

I'm great at showing affection on my terms. Sometimes I'm all about ear scratches and cuddles. Other times, I enjoy my personal space, and I appreciate when you respect that. It's not personal—it's just how I roll.

But when I'm ready to play? Oh boy, am I ALL IN! You should see my wire coat bouncing as I zoom around with toys. My joyful spirit absolutely shines during playtime, and I'll make you laugh until your sides hurt.

I'm looking for someone who appreciates a dog with incredible character. Someone who celebrates my individuality and understands that I'm not just a pet—I'm a companion, a friend, a personality. Someone who will be there for amazing cuddles when I seek them out, and who gets that the best things in life are worth waiting for.

In return, I promise unwavering loyalty, unconditional love, and a companion who will bring excitement, laughter, and more personality than you knew was possible to your life every single day.

Ready to meet your new best friend with style?

With wags and whisker kisses,
Arty

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
