Arlo is a Sweet Boy who I fostered at 3 weeks old and bottle fed. He has grown into an active and adventurous young man that needs plenty of exercise daily. Since moving to Asheville my work schedule has increased and I am not able to spend enough time with Arlo and get him out running and playing. We only have a small yard and he is bored and restless. He gets along well with my other dog and especially with the cat. He has no bad habits although he has always been food motivated so I tend to feed him separate. He is extremely affectionate and sweet and wants ALL the attention. He is comfortable in our daily routine where he nags mid-morning until afternoon. We then go to the dog park or walk, have dinner and play. He is such a great boy, I am sad to see him go but also know that I am not the right owner for him. A younger more active person would be more appropriate. He would love to go on hikes and run for miles. He is extremely well behaved and knows a few silly tricks!
