Arlo D5229

We rescued Arlo who was at a city shelter since the end of August. He was running out of time and the shelter is over-crowded. He was deemed rescue-only because he is smart and didn’t want to walk back into shelter cage after play yard and growled. He talks. At the shelter, he was in a cage with 2 other dogs for 23 hours per day. In play yard fine with other small dogs. He was curious of feral cats in parking lot but only looked and did not lunge. Listened to handler. Loves treats.

Fine meeting our transporter, being petted, and going into his crate. Quiet during hour long car ride. At his experienced hero foster home and groomer, he is doing fine. Sniffing and exploring with her 3 small social dogs in their yard and inside home. More info to come from his hero foster home as he relaxes. Welcome Arlo!

11/9/25:  Doing well with foster home's 3 dogs.  Friendly and curious of home and yard.  He did try to guard (growled) his sofa space from people telling him off.  So no sofa or bed space til he learns not to guard his space and should stay off furniture for now.
