My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

- Sweet, shy guy who loves people

- Does well on a leash

- Has done well with children, but may do best with calmer, quieter ones

- Has done well with other dogs but may be shy (dog intro recommended)

- Can be fearful at times, but has done well if you go at his pace and use high-value treats

- Looking for a calm home with people who will help him build confidence

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.
