Arlo - ME

Arlo and his sister Amber, were street dogs in Texas that found their way to a high-kill shelter. Both were saved, at the eleventh hour. It was then that we saw the true extent of the abuse that Arlo suffered at the shelter. Arlo being the youngest of his pack that was saved, had not had a lot of human interaction and what he had was not very positive. Therefore, he is very fearful of people. However, once he gets past that initial fear, he loves you with all his heart and then some. He is the goofiest, nuttiest dog you will ever meet. He loves to play, run and be your shadow. And when I say shadow, if you stop fast, well I don't have to finish that statement.... Arlo will push his head into you and basically hugs you – it is the cutest thing. He knows how to crate (though he does not love it), he plays nicely with his dog buddies and really wants to play with his cat brothers. Leash work is a work in process. Arlo is very ADHD and is very easily distracted. **DISCLAIMER** So, he sounds like a dream, right? Arlo is a dog that is not for everyone. If you work a lot and have little time for a dog. He is not for you. If you have a lot of people that come over, he is not for you. If you live in the city or have an apartment, he is not for you. If you have kids or grandchildren that come over all the time, he is not for you. This dog is HIGH ENERGY. He needs a job. He also takes at least a solid month if not longer to trust people and if you are easily scared by dog behavior he will win. Arlo is a dog that will reward you and then some, BUT you must be in it heart and soul otherwise he is not the right dog for you.
