Archie's Story

Archie is an approximately 10-month German Shepherd mix, around 40–50 pounds, with a sweet heart, goofy personality, and so much love to give.<br/><br/>As far as we know, Archie was found on the side of the road in Lake County and was likely dumped. He had no microchip, and despite being posted to social media, no one came forward for him. Now he’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will love him the way he deserves.<br/><br/>Archie is affectionate, gentle, and loves being close to his people. He’s definitely a “leaner” and would happily climb into your lap if given the chance. He can get excited when he’s getting lots of attention and, because he’s still a young dog, he doesn’t always realize his size—making him adorably clumsy and goofy at times.<br/><br/>He is potty trained, crate trained, and walks very nicely on leash. Archie is mostly calm and quiet, though he still has playful puppy bursts of energy where he may bark or yip with excitement.<br/><br/>Archie gets along well with children and other dogs, but he is not a fit for a home with cats.<br/><br/>He can be a bit anxious in the car and tends to pace. If more than one person is riding with him, he may try to sit in someone’s lap. It’s also important to know that he should always ride securely, as he may try to jump out of an open window.<br/><br/>Archie would thrive in a loving home that can continue giving him structure, guidance, and the stability every young dog needs to succeed.<br/><br/>💛 Archie’s adoption includes the option to attend group behavior training classes, a wonderful resource for building confidence, reinforcing good habits, and strengthening the bond between you and your new best friend.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and wonderfully goofy companion, Archie could be your perfect match.

Roxy's Ranch Haven's Adoption Policy
Our rescued animals are looking for loving, responsible forever homes. Rescue dogs are pulled from overcrowded shelters where they have been listed for euthanasia due to space. To ensure they find the best match, here’s how our adoption process works: 1. Select a Pet Browse through our available animals and click on the one you’re interested in inquiring about. You may visit https://roxysranchhaven.org/for-adoption/ to do this as well. If you are unsure which animal is the best fit for you, but would like to adopt, please continue with Step 2. 2. Complete the Adoption Application Fill out the form completely, including all details that will help us ensure a good match between you and the animal. 3. Phone Screening Once your application is submitted, a member of our team will contact you for a phone screening to go over your information and confirm if the pet is a good fit. 4. Schedule a Farm Visit If approved, we’ll arrange a time for you to visit Roxy’s Ranch Haven to meet the animal in person. This will be confirmed by email or during your call. 5. Adoption Fee & Paperwork After your visit, you’ll receive an email with instructions for submitting the $350 adoption fee (which supports the farm) along with the post-adoption form and official paperwork, including shelter notes and medical records. 6. Meet your future pet During your visit, you’ll spend time with the pet you’re interested in and get to know them better. 7. Submit Final Paperwork Once all required forms and paperwork are returned, your adoption is nearly complete! 8.
