Story
Hi there! I'm Archie. My Mama Holly came to Guardians of Florida Animal Rescue just in time to have her puppies, which was very lucky for us because we received great care while we were here! We're all ready to find families of our own now, though.So a bit about myself... I am about 4 months old as of the beginning of May. My Mama was a terrier mix, and I appear to be mostly black lab. I'm about 15 pounds now, and will probably be about 35 pounds when I'm full-grown. I'm a happy puppy who likes to play - and I LOVE the water! I get along well with other dogs and wouldn't mind a family with kids either. My $450 adoption fee covers my vetting, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, and neuter at one of GOFAR's vets in Ft. Myers or Naples when I get closer to 6 months old. If you'd like to adopt me, please go to www.gofar.dog and complete an adoption application.If you have questions, email my rescue at adoptions@gofar.dog. If you'd like to experience all the love I have, and want to make me part of your family, please complete the adoption application by pasting this link into your browser: https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=sm2546&method=online_form_html&formid=21
