About Arlo

Click apply to start the adoption process. Arlo is a sweet, playful, and easygoing pup who gets along well with everyone—including dogs, cats, and kids. He loves joining in for hikes or adventures, and is always up for a car ride, though he’s not much for the water, as a recent trip to the dog beach showed. At home, Arlo enjoys playing fetch, wrestling with his canine pals, and having fun with toys, but he’s never overly hyper or needy. If you’re having a quiet day, Arlo will happily join you for some TV time and is content just hanging out. He can be a bit indifferent when meeting new people, but once he’s spent a little time with you, he quickly bonds and loves to snuggle—he might even sit in your lap for hugs! Arlo appears to be a Boxer/Pug mix, weighs a sturdy 25 lbs (about the size of a stocky Beagle), and is just 2 years old and in excellent health. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped for safety. Arlo is crate trained and housebroken, ready to join your household as a loving companion. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
