Hello! We are looking to re-home our dog Archer. He's been a blessing for the last 8 years. Since getting him we have had some serious life style changes that puts us out of the home for 20+ days a month. While we have a dog sitter come by to feed him, we believe Archer deserves a family or someone who is home a lot more to take him on adventures, love on him and create the best life style for the little guy. Archer loves going on walks, he's super loyal and will always keep you safe, he loves camping, hiking, chewing on his bone, playing with toys and cuddling on the couch. Archer is not good with cats or small children under the age of 12. He loves female dogs, takes a bit longer to warm up to male dogs and is timid around big energy men but will warm up if introduced slowly. His most ideal situation is to be re-homed with a female that has a female dog looking for protection and a companion. Someone who has anxiety/depression would love Archer. I suffer from that myself and just having him there to lay with or come home to, has really changed my life.
