Story
‼️Arlo is not at Dekalb Humane Society‼️His current owners are holding onto him so he doesn’t have to come back. They are absolutely heartbroken to make this decision but they are doing what’s best for the dog in the situation. Please apply at DeKalb Humane Society if you are interested. This is the bio his owners took time to write personally: “Are you looking for a new best friend? Meet Arlo, he LOVES people, and he’s looking for his forever best friend.Arlo is a 1.5-year-old beagle mix with a big personality and a lot of love to give. His favorite pastimes include:Surveying his domain (the backyard)Running at full speed (he’s quick!)SunbathingSquirrel watching from his favorite windowGoing on literally any adventure (he’s awesome in the car)Chewing on his favorite BeneboneCuddling with his favorite humanGiving A LOT of kissesSitting on his favorite human’s lap to get a better view out the windowHowling with his humans. He has quite the singing voice!For the last 6-months, Arlo has been living with what we’d hoped would be his forever family. He has been well-loved by them. Unfortunately, we’ve found that Arlo would likely do best as an only dog, at least until he has worked through his resource guarding. Arlo does not resource guard with his humans, but he does with his current dog brother. The professional trainer he’s worked with believes this can be remedied, but his current human can no longer manage the situation due to circumstances outside her control. He also currently has a cat brother, who he is not a danger to, but who he does often like to chase.In the last 6-months, Arlo has made a lot of improvement with his “sit” command (he’s a wiggle butt and gets VERY excited about food). He is fully crate-trained, but if he knows you’re leaving the house, he’ll be quite vocal about it until you actually leave. He is accustomed to sleeping in his crate and stays perfectly quiet until you’re ready to let him out the next morning. If you want him to sleep in your bed, he’ll be thrilled about it. He’s fully potty trained and hasn’t had a single accident in the 6-months he’s been in his current home. His recall has also come a long way, and he typically comes inside when called, even when he’s not thrilled about it.Arlo would do best with humans who have a decent-sized (or large) backyard that is fenced in, so he has plenty of room to safely run and sniff. He’s also a high jumper, so a privacy fence would be ideal. He would absolutely love it if his human were home a lot during the day (a stay-at-home parent or work-from-home situation would be awesome). His current mom works from home, and he loves to hang out with her while she works.Arlo will bring along his crate, crate cover, crate pad, 2 favorite blankets, his favorite chewies, and his food/water bowls with a mess-control stand to his new forever home. And, his new family will get one free training session (virtual or in-person) with Jody at Green Dog Goods in Fort Wayne to help them understand how to help him through his resource guarding.Arlo isn’t just an adorable face. He’s a big love bug packed into a 21lb package.”An adoption application can be filled out on the DHS website https://www.dekalbhumanesociety.org/adopt.
