Arlo is a big, energetic boy who loves car rides, outdoor adventures (camping, hiking, walking, swimming), and being around his humans. He loves to walk around parks, say hi to new adults, and find gophers to sniff out and try to catch. He’s beyond adorable and can be very loving and sweet to both his own humans and new people, but he also has resource guarding issues so managing that and being aware of his body language is extremely important. He’s a high energy dog who needs multiple walks and boundaries in and outside the home to manage his dog reactivity and resource guarding.

He currently lives in an apartment in the city and would do much better in a larger home with a fenced- in yard or some type outdoor space. He’d do great in an active home, with no children or other animals, who can be outside with him and has time to manage his behaviors. He’s strong, fast, super smart and such a fast learner – he has a lot of potential in the right environment and home.
