My story

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

***Arlo is in a foster home, so he is not at the kennel. If you are interested in him, please fill out the application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you.***

What a funny, low rider cutie! Arlo is estimated to be about 3 years old and weighs 48 pounds.

Meet Arlo, a loving and friendly young boy who is ready to find his forever family! This connecting and well-mannered boy is a true gentleman, always attentive and engaged with his people. Poor Arlo came to us heartworm positive, but luckily one on our wonderful fosters took him home so he could have a quiet, loving place to recover. Arlo is now done with his treatment, doing great and can’t wait to start his new life with a family to love him. He's an outgoing and affectionate soul who only wants to be with you. Arlo is seeking guidance and someone to help him build his confidence. He does have some observed food bowl guarding, so a leader to continue to work with him on this is a must. Arlo will also need a home where any children are at least 13 years old. He really is so sweet, you will for sure fall in love with him when you meet him.

His foster mom has so many wonderful things to say about him:

Arlo LOVES to cuddle! He will nudge your hand if you stop petting him, it is really cute. He also rides nicely in the car. He is strong on the leash though, so he needs a little work on that. Arlo is crate trained and very quiet while in it. He is house trained after giving him time to adjust, so he should pick up the routine in his new home pretty quickly. Arlo loves to stand on his hind legs, gives hugs and begs very politely as you can see in one of his pictures by the kitchen table, it is quite funny!

The poor guy has gone through something traumatic in his life though and does not like any aggressive-like behavior/movement. He will definitely need a home where any children are calmer and more respectful, maybe not a busy home with a lot going on.

If you are interested in Arlo and are at least 21 years old, please fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend!

*Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*
