In the eyes of Arlie Prattleworth, love is belly rubs, a person who is around her as much as possible and lots of treats and games. She is a cuddly lap dog who is desperate for a lot of love and attention, and is just such a sweetie. When she sits next to you she has an endearing habit of resting her head on your shoulder and looking lovingly at you with her big brown eyes!
She was not house trained but has learnt quickly. She barks very loudly at the door when she wants to go out, as she likes company and to be taken out, but comes in through the dog door by herself.
She loves to be with you, loves her leisurely walks, loves to be a café dog, and if you have people over she will want to join in with you. She is quite energetic for her 8 years but isn’t one for long walks, and as a typical pug you will need to watch her on hot days that she doesn’t over exert. Arlie has had a successful BOAS operation and no longer snores.
Arlie is after a forever home where she can participate, enjoy, and live her best life. She’s a smart girl so games and mental stimulation are a must. Mental stimulation will assist with her barking and giving her the challenges this girl needs. Ball games are great fun but she can become a little boisterous with other dogs and forget she’s not light as a feather.
Her new family will need to know that she does bark when left alone and be prepared to work with her on this separation anxiety. She will bark very loudly if left outside but less so if left inside. She is not suited to apartment life as she just loves to potter in her garden with you.
She has responded well to other dogs but needs to refine her canine etiquette. She’s shown no signs of aggression but can be a little too enthusiastic. We believe she is best suited to life with another dog of at least her size to help her hone her life skills and to keep her company. She has a chase instinct so her new home will need secure fencing and no small pets. And as she is so food focused definitely no food left on coffee tables.
Little Arlie deserves a home where she can settle in, spread her enthusiasm for life and receive the unlimited tummy rubs and adoration she deserves.
Everyone falls for this gorgeous little girl. Of course there is the glitch that she does not like to be left alone.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer a six-week full refund, free assistance for six weeks for any issues, and a lifetime takeback policy with a fifty percent refund of the adoption fee, and of course an invitation to our adopters’ Christmas party.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
