Arlo’s story started in the hardest way—he was just a young dog, dumped in an orchard in California with no one looking out for him. He was starving when we rescued him and in such rough shape that he appeared to be very old. But somehow, this sweet boy didn’t lose his ability to love. Today, Arlo is safe… and as we write this, he’s curled up right next to us, pressed against a leg, just wanting to be close. That’s who Arlo is—a dog who finds comfort in connection and gives it right back tenfold.

He loves being near you—whether that’s lounging on the couch, resting at your feet, or leaning into you for comfort or running in the backyard. He has a soft, loving nature and is happiest when he feels safe and included. Arlo’s Health (and the Good News 💛): Arlo has a condition called Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which means his body can’t properly absorb nutrients from food on its own. ✨ The important part: This condition is very manageable.
