Archer's Story<br/><br/>Meet Archer - a handsome, intelligent shepherd mix looking for the right person to finally give him the stability he deserves.<br/><br/>Archer is around 4 years old and came to us locally as a stray. Since being with us, he's shown us that underneath his tough past is a really solid dog who thrives with structure, routine, and clear leadership. He has completed heartworm treatment and is ready for his fresh start!<br/><br/>Archer has spent time in foster care and training environments, including time with Integrity K9, and has done very well. He rides great in the car, walks nicely on leash, enjoys outings in public, and already knows basic commands including sit and down. He's a smart boy who genuinely wants to connect with his person.<br/><br/>He does well with other dogs when introduced properly and slowly, and he has also been okay around cats. Archer is not aggressive or chaotic; he simply needs an experienced adopter who understands shepherds or working breeds and can provide consistency and boundaries.<br/><br/>A few things to know about Archer:<br/>*No livestock or farm animals<br/>*Fence needs to be secure (he can clear a 4-foot fence if motivated)<br/>*Recall is still a work in progress<br/>*Best suited for a structured, active home familiar with working breeds<br/><br/>Archer is the kind of dog who will absolutely thrive with the right person, someone who appreciates a loyal, capable companion and understands that structure creates success. He has been through a lot and deserves a home that will finally be forever.<br/><br/>If you think Archer might be your guy, we'd love to hear from you.<br/><br/>*About Noah's Arc Animal Rescue*<br/><br/>Noah's Arc Animal Rescue is a foster-based nonprofit rescue located in East Tennessee.<br/><br/>Our pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick prevention, dewormed, and examined by a veterinarian.
