About Arnold "our Time Is

Arnold is a lively, six-month-old pup with the looks of a lab mix and a short, tricolor coat that's hard to resist. Weighing just over 21 pounds back in April, he's still in that spunky puppy stage and has shown himself eager to play with other dogs, especially his buddies Archie and Alex. Arnold would be thrilled to join a home with another dog or to be adopted with one of his siblings. He's also likely to coexist well with cats, thanks to his adaptable and gentle nature. Arnold already knows his way around a leash and is sharpening his skills at group training classes, which says a lot about his intelligence and willingness to learn. This affectionate, house-trained boy does best with an adopter who can match his playful energy and commit to seeing him thrive. His home base is currently Puerto Rico, but he can travel to New York or New Jersey once someone steps up to welcome him. Adjusting to new surroundings will take time, but Arnold's affectionate streak runs deep. When you take him home, you're getting the loyalty and companionship of a dog ready to love and be loved.
