Say hello to Arlo, a 2 ½-year-old sweetheart with a big heart and even bigger potential. He may not have had the best start in life, but Arlo is making up for lost time with a spirit full of love and a tail that never stops wagging.
Arlo is what we lovingly call a “project dog”—not because he’s broken, but because he’s still learning how to be the amazing companion he’s meant to be. He’s working on his leash skills and learning the basics like sit, stay, and how to politely ignore squirrels. But don’t let that fool you—Arlo is already a pro at the most important stuff: loving people, snuggling close, and making you smile.
This fun-loving guy adores being pet and thrives on affection. He especially lights up around kids, showing off his gentle, playful side like he was made to be a family dog. While he hasn’t lived with other dogs, he’s been nothing but respectful of his neighbors at the shelter, and he’s open to making furry friends with the right match and introductions.
Arlo is the kind of dog who will grow with you, bond deeply with you, and celebrate every small victory along the way. With a little guidance, a lot of love, and some patience, he’s going to become someone’s greatest “glow-up” story.
If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, endlessly lovable pup who’s ready to learn and love with his whole heart, Arlo is waiting. Let his journey begin—with you.More information? Call Marion Area Humane Society at 740-389-6548 or email at manager@mahspets.org
