About Arnold

Arnold's story isn’t just about hardship; it's about resilience and love.

This little guy has made remarkable strides since joining the rescue. He still enjoys cuddles and attention, overcoming his fears of loud noises and sudden movements. Arnold loves the company of other dogs, making friends with those who can guide him as he learns. At approximately one year old, Arnold has become a spirited, bouncy boy who thrives on playtime and physical activity. While he's not fully house-trained yet, he's making great progress and simply needs a family that understands his past. Arnold experiences some separation anxiety, so an active family with another canine companion would be ideal. He isn’t suited for apartment living due to his barking. Fully healed and healthy, Arnold has received all necessary vaccines and comes with essential health equipment for his new home. Arnold deserves a loving family that will continue to help him grow.
