Arlo does not simply walk into a room, he brings the sunshine in with him. Between his gorgeous curly coat, happy-go-lucky personality, and ability to make friends everywhere he goes, this boy is pure joy on four legs. He is sweet, silly, affectionate, and completely full of life. Arlo is the kind of dog who makes ordinary days feel a little more fun just by being part of them. Watch Arlo's video and fall in love with this walking ray of sunshine: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ8aomDv5bKyoElr66EBc7A Arlo is approximately 3 years old, weighs 55 lbs, and is believed to be a standard Poodle mix. Arlo is very dog friendly and has done great with every dog we have introduced him to. He happily greets new friends, joins them for a game of chase, and then knows when it is time to take a break. He is such a social butterfly that we could even see him enjoying doggy daycare or trips to the dog park. Arlo would do well with a medium-energy dog who enjoys playing but can also settle down afterward. Because he is a big boy with an enthusiastic play style, any dog friends in her future home should be at least 30 lbs. Smaller pups may find his excitement a little overwhelming. This smart cookie already knows how to sit and shake, especially when treats are involved. (does he know anything)?? He loves toys, loves snacks, and loves being included in whatever his people are doing. With his intelligence, eagerness, and social personality, he will have so much fun continuing to learn new things with his future family. Arlo’s ideal home would be with a semi-active family and a backyard where he can run, stretch those long legs, play with toys, and find the perfect sunny spot for an afternoon nap. Picture weekend hikes with Arlo happily trotting beside you, patio lunches where he charms everyone he meets, and trips around town with his fluffy head poking out of the car window. After a day of adventures, he will be just as happy coming home, settling in with his people, and soaking up all the affection he can get. Arlo is beautiful on the outside, but his joyful personality is what will truly make you fall in love. He is ready to bring laughter, adventure, affection, and an endless supply of sunshine into his forever home.
