About Arlo
Meet Arlo! Arlo is a friendly, affectionate dog who came to us after living with her family. She loves being around people and thrives on attention, eagerly joining in on the action. Whether exploring during a walk or leaning in for some love, Arlo is all about spending time with her favorite humans. She's now on the lookout for a family to help her navigate her next chapter. **My Ideal Home** Arlo would excel in an adult-only household where she can enjoy regular exercise and mental enrichment. This active, intelligent dog needs structure and consistency, especially as she continues to work on impulse control and leash manners. Since she experiences anxiety when alone, a family that can help her build confidence will play a crucial role in her happiness. **Good with Kids?** While Arlo has experience living with children, we're suggesting an adult-only home due to her previous resource guarding and sensitivity to certain handling. **Good with Other Pets?** Arlo has had success with familiar dogs but tends to be reactive with unfamiliar ones. For her well-being, she should be the only pet in her new home and is not advised for families with cats or small animals. Dog parks aren't suitable for her either. **Overall Health** Arlo is healthy overall. **Behavior Determination** Level 4 - Experienced Adopters. She has a history of resource guarding, anxiety, and sensitivity, hence she'll thrive with adopters familiar with positive reinforcement training who can respect her boundaries as she acclimates to her new surroundings. With patience and structure, Arlo can become a wonderful companion. **Other Fun Facts** Arlo enjoys car rides and loves to learn—especially when treats are involved! Volunteers describe her as easy to handle outside of her kennel, and she adores sniffy walks, leaning in for affection, and happily bouncing alongside her favorite humans. Your new best friend is just one click away.
