Arnold

Arnold is a very loving, friendly, loyal and playful blue ball of dog.

He is great with kids and other large breed dogs, and may be suited to living with both in the future - pending successful meets!

He really loves his people, and is happiest when he’s by your side. Be it to follow you around the house, or to enjoy some pats and cuddles.
