Ever get stressed or anxious when you are inside? But once you get outside, you feel free as a bird and relax and can calm your inner nerves? Well, thats me! Hi, Im handsome and sweet-natured Archie, and I was simply not made for shelter life. Nope, sitting inside a kennel when all I really want is to be out and about with YOU is very frustrating! They call it transition stress. Once Im outside of the shelter, my fears and anxiety simply melt away. Walks make me one of the happiest boys on the planet!<br/><br/>Im young, energetic, friendly, and a confident boy. I met up with another dog in a one-on-one playgroup, and we did great together. I might go in a little too enthusiastic at my first meeting sometimes; but, I was told to chill out by the other pup, and I did exactly that! Im smart, too, see? Im a big tail wagger, and Im a lover of toys and tug. <br/><br/>The shelter thinks Id do best in a home with kids 8 and up. Ive got so much love to give to a family. I just want my chance again, and I wont be able to contain my excitement when you say, Archie, youre coming home!. I cant wait!!<br/><br/>Love from Archie<br/><br/>Featuring photos by Caley Clark Photography
