My story

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

Meet Arlo!

This 1-year-old male Lab mix is a lively bundle of love and energy. Arlo
is super dog-friendly and absolutely adores playing with his furry pals.
While he`s sweet and affectionate with people, he`d much rather spend his
time having fun with other dogs.

Playful and energetic, Arlo loves toys and is always ready for a game. He`s
great on leash after he`s had some exercise - a perfect partner for daily
walks, runs, or hikes. Gentle with treats and eager to please, though he
does need some training to help him grow into his full potential.

Arlo is best suited for homes with kids 12 and older who can keep up with
his active lifestyle. A big treat lover who thrives on attention and
affection, Arlo is a loyal, playful, and energetic companion ready to join
you on your outdoor adventures!

Arlo is currently in foster and this is what his foster parent has to say:
He is doing so well!  He has gained so much confidence since being with us.  He was a little unsure with us at first, but now he loves to cuddle and loves kisses.  He is very excitable and has the cutest little wiggle butt lol.  He would probably do best with older kids because of his energy, making him a good hiking buddy!  He is great in the crate and uses the potty outside. It took him about 2 weeks to fully get the doggy door, and we are still working on `sit`.  He has the best, most outgoing personality.  He is so sweet.  He has not been aggressive with food or toys.  He loves playing with the other dogs, and he has not been destructive at all.  We left him outside of his crate by himself for about 30 minutes when we ran an errand, and he did so well. Anyone would be lucky to have him. 

Arlo got to go on a Doggy Day Out at the Railyard Market and did great! Click here to watch a short video of him in action! https://youtube.com/shorts/FeaKMm_rMMM?si=mANRTG5Tyg4Xqzrs

More about this shelter

The City of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Department’s mission is to protect and serve the pets and people of Albuquerque by providing Caregiving, Awareness, Resources, Enforcement and Service excellence.

AWD is always in need of foster homes for our pets who need time to grow, recovery from illness or injury or in need of a break from the shelter. Foster homes increase our capacity to provide services to homeless pets in our community. If you would like to donate toys, towels and milk-bones are always in need. Volunteer opportunities are also available at our shelters.
