Arnold is a two-year-old, 50-pound shepherd mix who manages to blend the energy of a coach with the loyalty of a lifelong friend. He’s the sort who will push you out the door for a long walk, become your shadow during snack time, and curl up beside you to guard against late-night kitchen raids. Arnold came to Northville, MI after a tough start and some serious hip surgery, but he’s taken that setback in stride and jumped into the good life with enthusiasm. Out on walks, Arnold is up for whatever—fetch, new trails, even a swim if there’s water nearby. At home, he craves both mental and physical activity, thriving in an environment where someone is ready to keep up with his upbeat pace. Arnold does great with lady dogs and is generally polite with dogs his size or smaller, though crowded dog parks aren’t his thing, especially if there are pushy males. He’s house trained, up to date on vaccinations, and eager to be your next sidekick. He isn’t a great match for cats but gets along well with children and most dogs. There’s no shelter facility for Arnold; he’s fostered in a private home and available by appointment or at local adoption events. Give Arnold a chance and you’ll find a playful, affectionate partner always ready for the next adventure. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
