About Arnie

Arnie was surrendered to us by his family following a breakup. This spirited boy is filled with love and energy, perfect for an active family who can meet his exercise and socialization needs. He enjoys playing fetch and thrives on interaction and enrichment. Unfortunately, he spent time living outdoors, so he will need a patient home willing to retrain him and provide the care he deserves. Arnie has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Our dogs are housed in foster homes, allowing us to better understand their needs and prepare them for adoption. We prioritize finding the best fit for each dog rather than adhering to a first-come, first-served policy. An application, interview, and adoption contract are required. Interested adopters should reach out to us directly. Thank you for considering adopting a rescue dog into your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
