- Playful, curious, energetic boy who happily plays and entertains himself when he's in an environment that's familiar to him

- Still a bit shy in new places, but he's working on building confidence

- Loves to chew on his toys, and always likes to have something in his mouth

- Needs to run around and burn off his puppy energy each day, but once he has done that, he just wants to cuddle with you or rest with toys in his kennel

- Loves being outside with his family and bouncing around like a rabbit, playing with sticks and anything he can find - he's very cute!

All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)

The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.
