About Arlo

Meet Arlo! This young Shih Tzu found his way to DASH when his owner could no longer care for him. He’s a charming character, eager to be part of the family and enjoys hanging out with the dogs in his foster home. Arlo loves following his foster mom around and cuddling up in bed for naps. Walking is one of his favorite activities, and he's bursting with affection to share with anyone who gives him attention. While he's mostly potty trained with a consistent schedule, he uses belly bands when left alone. Arlo is working on crate training, but he’ll need a patient family to help him adjust. He gets along well with other dogs and seems to be a good fit for families with kids, though he hasn’t met cats yet. Arlo is ready to bounce into his forever home!
