Buddy is a 6-year-old Labrador/Pyrenees mix looking for a loving new home. He’s a friendly, easygoing dog who enjoys walks, playing with kids, and spending time with his people. He also gets along well with other dogs.Buddy has been a great companion, but he has shown some uneasiness around our infant, so we feel it’s best to find him a home that’s a better fit for his comfort.We’re hoping to find someone who can give Buddy the safe, happy environment he deserves.

Story
Meet Zara – Your Next Adventure Buddy! Zara is a loving, cuddly, and energetic dog who thrives on playtime and plenty of exercise. She adores chew toys, has a keen sense of smell, and shows natural herding instincts—making her a great candidate for hunting or agility activities. Zara would do best in a home with lots of land where she can run to her heart’s content and have a sense of purpose. She’s happiest when she’s active and with her people, so a home where she’s not left alone for long periods would be ideal. She currently has to take anxiety medicine due to us being gone long periods of time for work, and she deserves so much better! Zara is full of potential, loyalty, and love—she just needs the right environment to match her energy and spirit. If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet, adventurous girl, Zara is ready to meet you!

Story
- Enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style- Total goofball who loves toys and being silly- Loves people and activity and likes to be at the center of whatever's going on - Has done well with other dogs and would probably love having dog friends - Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.
