About Archie

Meet Archie, a spirited one-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix in Amherst, MA. His handsome tan coat and striking black muzzle bring out the joy that he embodies. With his long legs and approximately 65 pounds, Archie is a big, goofy love bug still figuring out his size and space. Archie is friendly, playful, and gentle, particularly with other dogs. He loves to race around in a fenced yard, enjoys being chased, and has a knack for finding the best sticks during his adventures. Although he’s submissive during playtime, he also thrives with friendly canine companions that can boost his confidence. With people, Archie is a mix of caution and desire for connection. He needs a bit of time to warm up to new friends, showing his tender side once he feels safe. His ideal home would be calm and predictable, allowing him to build trust at his own pace. While he still needs some help with potty training, Archie's medium energy level lets him enjoy outdoor play followed by cozy cuddles in the evening. Currently, Archie is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He has a sensitive stomach but does well on Hill’s Science Diet Biome prescription food. Archie is looking for a patient pet parent who can help him learn and thrive in a secure environment. Could you be the lucky one to share life with this affectionate and slightly clumsy guy?
