Arizona, aka Arthur, is a very cute and loving dog. He has a long body, short legs, and adorably floppy ears. He loves to cuddle up next to you and be pet and also loves to play with his toys. His favorites are those that squeak and rope toys. He plays great with other dogs and loves people. He makes a great companion. He has not been around cats yet, but I'm guessing he would want to chase them in a playful nature. He has done well around younger children (3-4 years old). He loves to greet people who come to the door with a wagging tail. When we are busy doing other things, Arthur is content to play by himself or take a nap on the floor. He loves his dog bed!

Arthur is a very quick learner. He started with no basic commands but learned sit, lay, and shake in just a couple days. His recall in getting very good and we are also working on stay. He has great house manners. He rarely barks, he is very calm indoors, he doesn't beg for food, he stays off furniture when directed to, he is fully housetrained and will ask to be let out, and he doesn't chew on anything other than toys or dog bones. He is also good in his crate overnight and while we are at work, although he prefers not to be in it when possible. We have discovered that Arthur absolutely loves the dog park and to lie outside in the grass.

Overall, Arthur/Arizona is a very sweet and calm pup who would be a great dog in multiple situations

He would be a great addition to your family.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
