Arnie

Arnie

Animal ID No: ARF1393
Rescue Date: 13 May 2023
Adopted Date: 4 November 2023

Looking for a big bundle of love to complete your household? Then Arnie is your man! He is an active, happy, sassy boy who would love a home with lots of play and exercise, and even another dog to keep him company. We’ve learned that he makes friends with everyone he meets whether they are the canine or the human variety.  Arnie is an overly friendly boy who doesn’t always understand when to take a break. You will need to be his voice of reason and settle him down when it’s time to stop playing. For this reason, I don’t think he would be a dog park dog if that’s what you’re looking for! He’ll love a group of friends that he can wrestle with in the backyard or on a lead at a dog-friendly oval, even going on walks together would satisfy him.

He has a basic understanding of obedience and walks well on lead, he just needs some guidance while passing other dogs (wanting to play and engage with them).  A head halti seems to do wonders for him! He would thrive with someone who is willing to continue his training and help him become the best version of himself.

He’s comfortable getting into a crate, he’ll often let himself in when he knows it’s dinner or rest time. He likes to vocalise his thoughts while settling down in the crate but once he’s asleep it’s snore galore 😂

He will happily curl up on any dog bed you may provide for him and sleep all through the night. Arnie is not the biggest fan of overnight cuddles but for the right person, he could be persuaded. He can be a couch cuddler when he really wants attention but those dog beds will always win him over eventually.

Arnie loves his people and because he feels quite attached to whoever he is living with, if you leave him outside while you’re out of the house, he may just try to come find you and ask why you didn’t take him with you! Therefore, secure fencing and a comfortable area to hang out inside while you’re gone will be needed to make this handsome man your bestie for life. Arnie has good indoor manners and is very well-behaved (he would be well-suited to apartment living). He is non-destructive so can be trusted not to chew or damage anything.  And of course, you can always take advantage of the wonderful dog walkers and/or daycare programs we have here in Canberra. He’ll definitely thank you for it!

If Arnie sounds like the perfect companion for your adventurous out-and-about household, then you could be on to a winner!   Please fill out the application below to find out more about this pretty awesome boy.
