About Archie

Archie is a charming 3-year-old neutered male with a lovely tan coat, full of gentle spirit and sweetness. His low-key nature transforms into playfulness around small dogs, especially his Boston Terrier pals. Rescued as a stray in California, he's still navigating the world and can be a bit skittish with sudden movements or loud noises. For this reason, he needs a patient and understanding family to help him build his confidence. Though Archie is not suited for homes with children, he thrives around elderly individuals who understand his need for a calm environment. He has experience living with both dogs and cats and generally gets along with small dogs, while larger, high-energy dogs can make him nervous. Archie is crate- and leash-trained and mostly house-trained but may need some support to avoid marking indoors. With the right home, Archie can grow into a loving and devoted companion.
