Meet Arlo – very sweet boy, 10 month old, mostly with white with a small patch of fawn brindle. Arlo weighs 27#’s and has already taken the “neuter pledge”. Arlo came to WRAP as an only dog who had never lived with anyone except one person, who had a very quiet life. Arlo is starting to learn about a more active life … though he is still very scared, he is coping with the resident whippets quite well. Since he wasn’t able to have interaction with other dogs and is in need of a confident companion dog, preferably another sighthound, and at least the other dog would need to have his energy and size. He was leashed walked, but certainly enjoys running through the yard and playing with the other dogs. He hasn’t been around young children, so he would just need slow introductions with them. He enjoys toys and chew toys. Arlo does have some separation anxiety and does worry when foster mom is out of the room and does look for her. He is crate trained and likes his crate. Arlo does enjoy laying on top of or next to foster mom and snuggle. Not sure if Arlo would mind a cat or not…. Though Arlo seems fearless during playtime, he is
afraid of thunder, fireworks, and the outside in general. Arlo is up to date on his vaccinations. Arlo will not be shipped and potential adopter must be within 3 hours of the Chicagoland area. If you think Arlo might be a good fit for your family and for him, please fill out an application.
