My name is Archie T!

Hi, I am Archie, a lovable, active, healthy, and handsome dog, looking for a family that I can have lots of fun with, and also engage in various adventures such as walks, car rides, active play time, and time with toys. I get along with older kids and dogs my size.  You will find me to be friendly and affectionate and I have pretty good leash manners.  Also being house-trained is a real plus.  

I’m working VERY hard to become the best dog ever by learning to control the bad habit of greeting people and dogs with my teeth on a hand, arm, leg, etc. It is NOT aggression, just my way of saying hello. Lots of sincere people have been working with me to control this impulsive behavior and they tell me I am making fantastic progress.  But this effort is a ‘work in progress’ so definitely NO SMALL CHILDREN. Gentle, positive training by dog-savvy human leaders works best for me, as evidenced by my ready response to ‘sit’, ‘down’, and ‘gently’ commands. I respect human leaders that give firm, unambiguous commands and expect me to obey. I am on my way to becoming a very good dog, and a wonderful, loyal companion.  BELIEVE ME, I AM ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED TO REACH THAT GOAL.
