About Arnold

Meet Arnold, a vibrant and strong American Bully ready to find his forever home. At just 2 years old and weighing around 85 lbs, he’s still learning the ropes of proper behavior. Arnold is marked as special needs due to his need for training. He can be a handful, especially when it comes to leash manners and jumping up on people, often treating them like his personal jungle gym. Despite his excitable nature and tendency to jump on surfaces to seek attention, he has a gentle heart and takes treats with care. While Arnold is friendly and knows basic commands like "sit" and "down," he hasn't yet been socialized with dogs. Although he doesn't appear reactive in boarding, he shows a strong interest in cats and would be best in a cat-free home. Given his size, we recommend caution around small children. On November 30th, Arnold is set for a 10-day board and train session to work on his leash skills and listening abilities, but we'd love for him to have a fostering or adoption opportunity afterward. An ideal adopter will be patient and ready for some follow-up training. If you’re interested in fostering Arnold or adopting him, please reach out. He would thrive in a supportive environment where he can continue to learn and grow. Requirements include residing within 45 miles of Central Ohio. The adoption fee is $300, and your current pets need to be fixed. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
