Archie's Story

Hi, I’m Archie!<br/> <br/>I’m a four-year-young guy with SO much love to give. I’m about 73lbs and have such a unique and handsome face, if I do say so myself. My family loves me to pieces, but because they love me so much, they only want what’s best for me. Unfortunately, that means finding me a new home. While I love my parents so, so much, I’m not thriving in a multi-dog household. I deserve a home where I can be the center of my family’s attention without any furry brothers or sisters.<br/><br/>My favorite activities include: leisurely sniffy walks at the park (mom says I have great leash manners!), hikes, posing for pictures (my mom says I’m extremely photogenic) and all the snuggles with my people. I especially love snuggles first thing in the morning. I’m a pretty lazy and low energy guy, so anything that involves hanging and lounging around with my people sounds like a great time to me!<br/><br/>My parents tell me that I’m such a good boy because I am 100% housebroken and have never had an accident in the house in the 3 years that they’ve had me. I have great house manners and I’m not destructive in the house at all. I’m also really great with car-rides and for grooming. Mom and I have worked on training for years, so I know so many tricks and cues and have overall very good manners! I even dabbled in a few dog sports, but I’m a little too low energy for all that.<br/><br/>One thing my new home should be aware of is that I need to be the only pet in the home. I have “resource guarding” with other dogs, but not with people. I’ve not spent time around cats, but I really need to be the only pet. I’ve spent a little bit of time around kids, but because of my resource guarding, I should only be in a home with kids 10+. My new family should be aware of what resource guarding is and familiar with how to manage this. Additionally, I am an overall a healthy guy, but do have some seasonal allergies. I receive allergy shots at home every so often, but my allergies may just be able to be managed with frequent baths in allergy season. I’m also on Prozac to keep me calm and content and mom says this only costs a few dollars a month!<br/><br/>I’m a really special guy who wants to be the light of your life and the center of your world. Do you have the space in your home and heart for a big, lovable guy like me?

The Foster Farm's Adoption Policy
Hi and thank you for your interest in adopting from The Foster Farm! Due to the overwhelming amount of applications, calls, and emails regarding our currently available pets, we cannot respond to everyone at this time. We appreciate your enthusiasm to rescue a new family member, but please be aware that we simply do not have enough pets in foster care to meet demands at this time. In order to help us process your application, please include as much detail and information as possible. Our adoption process is not first come first serve – we work extremely hard to meet the needs of every pet individually, and we do not base our matches on appearances (color, coat length, etc.). If you’re inquiring about our adoption process, please visit thefosterfarm.org/adopt for information, policies, and procedures. If you have submitted an application at thefosterfarm.org/adopt and received the confirmation email from Cognito Forms (your receipt will appear as a copy of the application you submitted), we are reviewing your application. If you are approved to adopt, you will receive an email approval within 72 business hours! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we all navigate these exceptional circumstances together! Stay healthy and safe! The Foster Farm Team
