Story
From Fearful Eyes to a Heart Full of Love — Meet ArloArlo is a handsome young brown and white Pointer mix with a tender heart and an inspiring story. When he first arrived at The Haven, Arlo was painfully thin and had fear in his eyes. He did not know whom he could trust, and his worried expression made it seem as though he believed he had done something wrong.But Arlo had never done anything wrong—he simply needed someone to show him that he was safe.With gentle touches, patient reassurance, and plenty of nutritious food, Arlo slowly began to understand that people could be kind. As the fear disappeared from his eyes, his true personality emerged. The frightened dog who once held back became one happy, affectionate puppy who discovered how wonderful it feels to be loved!Fun SideArlo has transformed into a joyful young dog who is excited to experience everything his new life has to offer. Now that he feels safe, he is ready to play, explore, learn, and enjoy simply being a puppy.He is also eager to learn—especially when treats are involved! Food is the way to Arlo’s heart and a wonderful tool for keeping his attention. With positive reinforcement, patience, and a pocket full of treats, this clever boy will be excited to discover what his person wants him to do.Training with Arlo is an opportunity to build his confidence while strengthening the bond he values so much. Every new skill he learns will remind him that he is capable, safe, and making his person proud.Arlo would love a family who will continue introducing him to new experiences at a comfortable pace.

This once-frightened boy has become incredibly affectionate and now treasures every gentle touch, kind word, and reassuring moment with his people.There is something especially meaningful about watching a dog like Arlo learn to trust. He arrived believing the world was frightening, but patience and kindness taught him that he was worthy of care. Now he is ready to give all that newly discovered love back to a family of his own.Because of his difficult beginning, Arlo may need a little patience while adjusting to unfamiliar people, places, and experiences. A calm, loving family who allows him to build trust at his own pace will be rewarded with the affection of a dog who understands just how precious love truly is.Arlo does not need perfection. He needs kindness, consistency, plenty of good meals, and someone who will remind him that he is safe and has never done anything wrong.Arlo is resilient. Arlo is affectionate.

Story
Pearl is a 6-year-old purebred white standard poodle.🐩 She is drop dead gorgeous! She knows all of her basic commands and is very intelligent. She loves to play fetch with her tennis balls. It’s her favorite thing ever! I got her from another family due to a conflict with another dog. Unfortunately, it turns out she does not like cats and I have a cat. I also am in college and cannot afford the grooming costs, unfortunately. She is anxious until she gets to know you but once you throw her the ball, she warms up to you quick! She is in need of a good haircut. The shaved pics were after her last shave but it’s long now. Her ideal home would be cat-free. She doesn’t love big dogs either but typically isn’t afraid of little dogs as long as they respect her princess distance. She will be your best friend and follow you everywhere! If you’re interest, reach out!
