Arthur

Meet Arthur, a soulful seven-and-a-half-year-old Bulldog from Carleton, MI, whose brindle and white coat and deep brown eyes hold stories of snuggles, stubborn charm, and afternoon naps! At about 40 pounds, Arthur is a medium-sized couch companion with a heart that leans heavily toward his favorite pastime: sleeping. He's the kind of pup who doesn't ask for much—just a comfy spot, a calm space, and someone nearby to share quiet moments with.

Arthur has a wonderfully endearing side—he absolutely adores cuddles. Once he's comfortable, he’ll scoot in close and stay there, content to simply be near you. He knows “sit,” but he marches to the beat of his own drum when it comes to the rest. A little headstrong and proudly set in his ways, Arthur thrives in a calm, predictable environment where he doesn’t feel overwhelmed by loud noises or energetic little ones. But make no mistake, this boy has playful and energetic moments!

While Arthur has shown selective behavior with other dogs—getting along with some and not with others—he's been known to do well with cats. His ideal home would have a fenced yard where he can wander, snooze in the sun, or just sniff the breeze. He’s okay being left alone for a bit, but like any loyal pup, he’d prefer not to be apart for long stretches. Arthur has a sensitive stomach, so his new caregiver will need to stick with his diet and limit treats and table scraps.

Arthur is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and doesn’t require fancy grooming, just the occasional bath at home keeps him looking fresh. Crates stress him out, so a home where he can roam freely and safely is best.

If you're looking for a companion who's low-key but full of heart, someone to curl up with at the end of a long day and who thrives in a steady, loving environment, Arthur might be your guy. Reach out to learn more about this sleepy snugglebug!
