Archie Cattle Dog Mix Merriam, KS

Ever get stressed or anxious when you are inside? But once you get outside, you feel free as a bird and relax and can calm your inner nerves? Well, that's me! Hi, I'm handsome and sweet-natured Archie, and I was simply not made for shelter life. Nope, sitting inside a kennel when all I really want is to be out and about with YOU is very frustrating! They call it "transition stress". Once I'm outside of the shelter, my fears and anxiety simply melt away. Walks make me one of the happiest boys on the planet!

I'm young, energetic, friendly, and a confident boy. I met up with another dog in a one-on-one playgroup, and we did great together. I might go in a little too enthusiastic at my first meeting sometimes; but, I was told to chill out by the other pup, and I did exactly that! I'm smart, too, see? I'm a big tail wagger, and I'm a lover of toys and tug.

The shelter thinks I'd do best in a home with kids 8 and up. I've got so much love to give to a family. I just want my chance again, and I won't be able to contain my excitement when you say, "Archie, you're coming home!". I can't wait!!

Love from Archie
