Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I adopted Winston in the Summer of 2017 when he was roughly 3 years old. My circumstances and our living arrangements have changed over the years and I believe he deserves a better home than I am willing and able to provide. Winston is a very gentle, silly, and curious boy who loves pets and would probably love cuddling if allowed to do so. He does not bark unless he is feeling very stressed. Vet and grooming visits stress him out and requires mild sedation and sometimes a muzzle for staff comfort. He has never bit anyone, he is all bark and no bite. He does have dreams and will yip in his sleep frequently which can vary from quiet to medium noise level. He does not play with or have any interest in toys besides hard chewing bones. He mostly sleeps all day but he loves walking and following me around. He can get up and down stairs and into cars without issue. He has had carsickness in the past but seems to have outgrown it. He would thrive in a low energy home.

Story
- Happy, energetic guy who gets the zoomies and likes to sniff around and check out all the toys he comes across- Knows sit - Has a lot of potential and is looking for adopters who can work with him on confidence-building and basic manners and skills- Will need a refresher on housetraining and crate-training - Can be stressed around children, especially when he is trying to rest or sleep; looking for a teens-and-up home right now - Has lived with another dog; overall did well and would let the other dog know when he needed space; didn't always want to share his bones with the other dog and will do best in a home where he is able to enjoy things like that on his own 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.

Story
- Busy, bouncy guy who loves to connect with people through play and other activities - Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "He is a very sweet, loving dog who thinks he's a 77-pound lap dog. If you're looking for a big cuddler, he's your guy - he just wants to be close to his person. Car rides are still a new adventure for him, and he was pretty unsure about hopping in at first. He may try to drive the car just to stay close to you, so keeping him safely in the back while he learns the ropes is a good idea. He's a big lovebug full of love, charm, and snuggles!" - Knows sit and down and will show off his skills for treats! - Enjoys walks and does well with a harness- Looking for a teens-and-up home where everyone is old enough to enjoy his energy and respect his signals- Enjoys like-minded dog friends, but may be a bit much for some dogs (dog intro required)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. Primary Color: Black Weight: 76 Age: 4yrs 1mths 0wks
