We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs to their new home leaving by January 9th 2026 (could be sooner!) to the east coast from where we are located here in Southern California. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Arlo to our trip for the right home! As always for our adopters peace of mind we never ask for anything up front! His adoption fee, along with his adopting families share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person with Arlo ultimately finalizing his adoption.
Arlo came to us because the people who loved him recognized something very important — love alone wasn’t enough if they could no longer keep up with the care and needs of a young dog. Wanting only the best for him, they made the selfless decision to ask us to help find a family who could truly give him the full, active, connected life he deserves. That kind of love already tells you so much about who Arlo is and what he’s been surrounded by.
Born on 10/29/24, Arlo is a Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie mix) with a beautiful straight-to-wavy hypoallergenic coat. He weighs just over 13 pounds, is fully grown, and sits at a very healthy, balanced weight. He came to us with a docked tail, which was done prior to his arrival. From a medical standpoint, Arlo has received excellent care — he is neutered, microchipped, current on all vaccines, and recently had a dental cleaning and polish, along with the removal of a few retained baby teeth that never fell out on their own. His exam went perfectly, and he has been fully cleared by our veterinarian to begin the journey toward finding a home all his own.
In the home, Arlo is an absolute joy. He is house trained and does very well on a consistent schedule, going outside every couple of hours. He is also crate trained and currently sleeps peacefully through the night in his crate without issue. That said, Arlo loves closeness and connection — if his future family prefers a cozy dog bed or having him sleep in bed with them, he would be more than happy knowing that closeness lasted all night long.
Arlo is wonderful with our groomers and truly enjoys being doted on. He especially loves coming home after a fresh groom — strutting with that extra confidence because he knows he’s handsome and feels good 💙 Regular grooming has been a positive experience for him, making ongoing coat care in his next home something he will continue to handle with ease.
Social, affectionate, and deeply people-oriented, Arlo is wonderful with other dogs and enjoys running and playing with them. However, when his person is around, that’s where his heart truly lies. He bonds deeply and thrives on being someone’s companion and center of the world. He would be perfectly content as an only dog soaking up that connection, but he is also more than capable of sharing life with another sweet canine friend if that’s the right fit 💙
Arlo is also excellent on road trips and would make an amazing traveling partner for anyone looking for a buddy to share life beyond the home. Whether it’s a longer adventure or something as simple as running to the post office 😂, Arlo is happiest when he’s along for the ride and part of whatever the day brings.
He has excellent house manners, is leash trained, and genuinely enjoys his walks — especially because he’s a very social boy who likes being out in the world. He is not a barker, but he will politely alert you if something unfamiliar catches his attention. Overall, he carries himself with a calm, loving presence and a gentle confidence that makes him easy to live with and even easier to love.
At his core, Arlo is a total sweetheart with a heart of gold. He’s waiting for someone to choose him — to make him part of their everyday life, their routines, their quiet moments, and their adventures. If you’ve been looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to love and be loved in return, Arlo may be the one meant for you 💕
