Arlo and his sister Amber, were street dogs in Texas that found their way to a high-kill shelter. Both were saved, at the eleventh hour. It was then that we saw the true extent of the abuse that Arlo suffered at the shelter.
Arlo being the youngest of his pack that was saved, had not had a lot of human interaction and what he had was not very positive. Therefore, he is very fearful of people. However, once he gets past that initial fear, he loves you with all his heart and then some. He is the goofiest, nuttiest dog you will ever meet. He loves to play, run and be your shadow. And when I say shadow, if you stop fast, well I don't have to finish that statement....
Arlo will push his head into you and basically hugs you – it is the cutest thing. He knows how to crate (though he does not love it), he plays nicely with his dog buddies and really wants to play with his cat brothers. Leash work is a work in process. Arlo is very ADHD and is very easily distracted.
**DISCLAIMER**
So, he sounds like a dream, right? Arlo is a dog that is not for everyone. If you work a lot and have little time for a dog. He is not for you. If you have a lot of people that come over, he is not for you. If you live in the city or have an apartment, he is not for you. If you have kids or grandchildren that come over all the time, he is not for you. This dog is HIGH ENERGY. He needs a job. He also takes at least a solid month if not longer to trust people and if you are easily scared by dog behavior he will win. Arlo is a dog that will reward you and then some, BUT you must be in it heart and soul otherwise he is not the right dog for you.
If you are interested in adopting Arlo, please click at the link below: CRNE Adoption Application: https://docs.google.com/.../1rjvYvkyGRug.../viewform...
Once your application has been received and reviewed, you will be contacted via email or phone by one of our volunteers. After your application is approved, the foster parent for the dog you have selected will contact you to answer any questions you may have and determine if that dog is a good match for your family.
If you have no particular dog in mind, we will be happy to keep your application on file and notify you if the right dog should come into rescue. Catahoula Rescue of New England is an all-volunteer group. Dogs in our program are fostered by volunteers. The foster homes care for our dogs as if they were their own. All dogs have received vaccinations appropriate to age and are spayed or neutered.
Arlo's adoption donation is $450 which includes Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella, fecal test, heartworm test, is on preventative, microchip and neuter depending on age at time of adoption. If the dog is too young for a spay/neuter then they will be adopted with a spay/neuter contract and deposit. We do not have a physical shelter; all our dogs are fostered in individual foster homes across the New England and Canada.
