Archer

Archer is a friendly dog. He loves going for walks and playing with squeaky toys. Raw hides are another favorite of his. He is house trained and crate trained and hasn’t had an accident in the home. He can be a cuddle bug on occasion, but usually does his own thing. He does pretty well on a leash, but can sometimes pull when he gets excited. Based on previous interactions, Archer is good with other dogs around his size. Unsure about smaller dogs, but he hasn’t shown any aggression towards them. Just excitement. He is definitely not a cat friendly dog as he constantly chases any stray cats he comes across when going for walks.

Archer is definitely a great dog, I just unfortunately do not have the time for him anymore. I had a work from home job lined up when I first adopted him, however, the company made the decision not to move forward with that position, so I had to settle for a warehouse job working 10-12 hour shifts. Ideally, someone who can spend time with him would be perfect. If a yard is included that’s even better as he does enjoy running when he can. If not that’s fine as well as someone who is active and can walk him more frequently.
