Arlo is a quirky 12-year-old terrier mix with plenty of personality—and equally firm boundaries. He weighs about 15 lbs and isn’t your average lap dog or social butterfly. Most of the time, you’ll find him napping soundly, enjoying the quiet, and sticking to a predictable routine. Arlo values independence and expects his boundaries to be respected—he’ll come to you on his own terms and wants his space honored, always. He’s got a stubborn streak and can be snappy if touched unexpectedly. Arlo is food-aggressive and should only be offered treats placed on the floor, never handed directly. He’s also uncomfortable with kids and cannot be around them in any circumstance, including visiting children. Other pets aren’t a fit for him; Arlo needs to be the only animal in the house. For the right person—someone patient, calm, and comfortable with a dog who won’t cuddle or bond instantly—Arlo can be a peaceful, low-maintenance roommate. He lives for slow walks, rolling in the grass, and settling into a soft bed for hours of uninterrupted rest. He prefers men, loves fresh water, and appreciates simple comforts. If you’re ready to accept Arlo just as he is, with no expectation of lifelong snuggles, you’ll have a quiet little companion who makes few asks beyond respect, space, and routine.
