About Arlo

Arlo is looking for a quiet home free from children and other dogs. He requires a peaceful environment where he can settle in comfortably. It's best to start him off in a dedicated sanctuary room stocked with food, water, a cozy bed, toys, a scratching post, and a litter box. This space should have plenty of hiding spots and perches for him to explore and feel secure. As he becomes acclimated to his new surroundings, a gradual introduction to other areas of the house and any other pets can begin. Patience will be key in helping Arlo adjust to this new chapter in his life. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
