About Archie

Archie is a lovable, steady companion who is ready to become someone's best friend. This mixed-breed dog came to the Humane Society of Chittenden County when his guardian could no longer care for him. Though he can be a bit reserved initially, once Archie trusts you, his playful and affectionate nature shines through. He has plenty of youthful energy, making him a delightful companion for outdoor adventures, whether it’s zooming around the backyard or enjoying sniffy walks. Archie thrives on human interaction, preferring a home focused on people without other pets. While he may be suited for homes with teenagers and adults, this special boy appreciates stability and structure. Continued positive-reinforcement training will be essential in helping him refine his manners and leash skills. Could you be the one to give Archie the loving home he needs?
