Baloo is a handsome beast! He loves people but would do best in a home without cats. His tail wags are lethal in the cutest way! Fully potty trained, has never had any accidents.

Story
Had him as a rescue from 4 months old. He’s currently 8 years old. Wonderful dog and loves to be around people and kids. Very gentle and well behaved.My job currently requires a large amount of travel and I don’t want him to spend that much time in boarding. We’ll also be traveling overseas more frequently to spend time with our adult children.

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
- Goofy, sweet pup who loves toys and treats - Knows sit, stay, shake AND come - good girl! - Would benefit from a more mature home where she can work on confidence-building - Can be socially awkward around other dogs and may take time to warm up to new dog friends; likely not a candidate for dog parks or events (dog intro recommended) - Needs to be the only dog in her new home 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: Tri Color Weight: 53 Age: 2yrs 0mths 4wks

Story
- A happy, spunky, friendly girl!- May prefer to explore and do her own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once she's in a loving home environment and has had time to decompress - Knows sit and stay; may be fun to train with treats! - Young kids may overwhelm this gal; looking for a teens-and-up home right now - Tends to be an introvert and a bit socially awkward around other dogs; may prefer one-on-one interactions or smaller groups of dog friends and would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new pals (dog intro recommended) - Must meet any resident dogs before adoption The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.
