Arlo

Arlo is an active and friendly young man. He has high energy levels and is looking for an active family that can provide him with a life full of enrichment, exercise and training. He may be a bit shy when meeting new people, but is always gentle and friendly. Arlo is still learning how to calmly approach other dogs, and although he does enjoy the company of some dogs he can show some reactivity on leash at times. For this reason, we’re looking for a home with no other dogs, but a family confident enough to continue socialisation training with other dogs in a calm environment. A dog park might be all too much for him at this stage, so preferably 1-to-1 socialisation with friendly dogs would help boost Arlo’s confidence.

Arlo loves to play fetch with toys and balls. He understands the game very well, as he will run to fetch, then come straight back to drop the ball by your feet to go all over again (that will be the Kelpie in him!). With so much energy to burn, this young man would like plenty of playtime with his family. He is a big boy, so experience with large-breed dogs would be preferred, and children over 8 years would be best due to his size and energy levels.

Arlo has shown some anxiety through his time with us, so it is best for him to go home with a family that is home more often than not, with multiple people to interact with and keep him busy.

Arlo just wants to be part of the family where he will be given the attention and affection he deserves.
