Archie's Story

Dog name: Archie<br/><br/>Gender: Male<br/><br/>Age/weight: Adult / 58.5 lbs. exact age unknown<br/><br/>Heartworm status: Negative. Completed treatment<br/><br/>Medications/Injuries: No Medications / Abscess on Neck was removed<br/><br/>Good with people? Yes<br/><br/>Children? Unsure of young children, ok with young adults<br/><br/>Dogs? Prefers to be an only dog<br/><br/>Cats? No cats<br/><br/>Other animals? Unknown, likes to watch birds<br/><br/>House trained? Yes<br/><br/>Crate trained? Yes<br/><br/>Energy level: Low to low medium<br/><br/>Travel well?: yes, great in a car<br/><br/>Favorite toy/activity: Lounging around by your side/Toys and bones with treats inside<br/><br/>Leash Trained: Walks extremely well on a leash<br/><br/>Fence Required? Preferred but not required.<br/><br/>Archie is an Adult male, 60-pound Lab mix who made the long journey from South Carolina with a few medical challenges to over come — a neck abscess, Heartworm, and Lyme disease. But don’t let that scare you off — Archie’s a survivor. He’s healed up beautifully, completed all his treatments, and is now ready to spend his future years the way we all hope too: in comfort, and surrounded by love. He just wants a backyard to call his own and a spot on the couch.<br/><br/>Archie isn’t looking for a fast-paced lifestyle. He’s the kind of dog who enjoys the simple things — a peaceful walk around the block, a car ride with the windows down, or a cozy afternoon spent by your side. Thunderstorms and crowds don’t bother him a bit. He’s steady, easygoing, and unfazed by life’s little surprises — the kind of companion who brings calm wherever he goes. He’s a good boy every day whether it be curled up next to the fireplace or on the floor near you while you relax in your easy chair.<br/><br/>He adores people and has that special kind of quiet loyalty that only comes with maturity. He’s always near ready to casually play with you, take a walk or just be there with you. He won’t be bouncing off the walls, or demanding your attention because he is happy with the simple things in life. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion with soulful eyes and an appreciation for the quiet life — someone who’s content to just be with you — Archie may just be the perfect match.<br/><br/>Due to genetic traits Archie is alert to strange sounds, things and people who are not familiar to him — he is not aggressive but will bark or growl as a warning to protect himself and his pack. Proper socialization has always been an important part of his training. He is the guardian of his pack and will warn all intruders of his presence and alert his pack of potential danger. He does not bark unless there is a good reason. The gray around his muzzle is not reflective of his age as much as his breed. Being a lab mix, it’s difficult to tell which breed is contributing to the gray.<br/><br/>When it comes to other dogs, Archie prefers a solo act. He’s not anti-social, just very much into peace and personal space. After everything he’s been through, he’s more than earned the right to enjoy a home where he doesn’t have to share the couch, the snacks, or your attention.<br/><br/>Archie like any dog would benefit from continual training and guidance. The structure and activities make them happy and keeps their mind engaged. Dogs left to their own devices will make decisions like a 2 yr old. Archie is very definitely a smart dog, he learns fast and anticipates what you may be thinking. He aims to please his pack and especially his pack leader looking for your admiration and affection. <br/><br/>Archie could possibly be the most devoted and loyal fur baby for your pack. Why not fill out an application today and fulfill Archie’s dream of a loving, forever family of his very own.

House of Hope Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
House of Hope Animal Rescue is foster-based. We are not a shelter and do not own a kennel where our dogs are kept. All of our dogs are in foster homes. Once your application is approved, your adoption coordinator will assist you in scheduling a date and time to meet dogs you are interested in at their foster homes. You must be willing to travel to the foster homes to meet potential dogs. Thanks for your understanding. APPLICATION PROCESS All potential adopters are required to complete an adoption application. That can be done online or you can download and complete then mail or email it to us. Once your application is received, we’ll call your references, including your Veterinarian. All of your pets must be current on vaccines and on preventatives.? Once all references are checked, we will get in touch with you to schedule a phone interview to go over your application and our adoption procedures. You may be contacted via email, so please keep an eye on your inbox, junk, and spam folders. Please know that we will reach out to you as soon as possible, but it can take up to 14 days depending on the volume of applications we are receiving. Please be patient with us.? After the phone interview we will set up a time for one of our volunteers to conduct a home visit. This is to ensure that your home is a safe environment for a dog and is the final step in the approval process.? Once your application is approved, you are ready to begin meeting dogs! Because we want each dog to go to the right forever home, it is not guaranteed that you will be approved for the dog for which you applied. In this case, we will work with you so that the right match is made for everyone involved. House of Hope spends a lot of time getting to know each dog so they can be placed with a family they are appropriate for as well as a family that is appropriate for them.?
