Arlo's Story

Meet Arlo — A Quirky Old Man Looking for His Kind of Human<br/><br/>Arlo is a 12-year-old, 15 lb. terrier mix who has been through a lot in life, and it shows. He’s not a snuggly lap dog, he’s not a social butterfly, and he’s certainly not interested in being fussed over. Arlo is who he is — an independent senior who wants peace, predictable routines, and a human who truly gets him.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a low-key companion who naps more than any dog you’ve ever met… Arlo might be your guy. But he’ll need someone who understands (and respects) his boundaries every single day.<br/><br/>Arlo can be:<br/><br/>-Snappy and temperamental when approached or touched without consent<br/>-A dog who must be allowed to come to you first — always<br/>-Food aggressive, especially if treats are handed to him rather than placed on the floor<br/>-Highly uncomfortable with kids — and absolutely cannot live with or be around them<br/>-A dog who cannot live with other pets<br/><br/>And at the same time he is also…<br/><br/>-A wonderful walker who does beautifully on a leash<br/>-A quirky guy who LOVES rolling in the grass<br/>-A senior who adores fresh water and takes great joy in simple comforts<br/>-A treat lover — as long as you put them on the floor and never take them away<br/>-A pup who seems to prefer men<br/>-A dog who naps 23 hours a day and sleeps like a rock<br/>-A quiet companion who asks for very little — just respect, space, and gentleness<br/><br/>For Arlo’s happiness and safety (and yours), his future home must be:<br/><br/>-Adults only — no exceptions<br/>-No kids, ever, including visiting children<br/>-No other pets<br/>-With someone patient, calm, and willing to move slowly<br/>-With a person who doesn’t need a cuddler or a constant companion<br/>-With someone who appreciates an independent dog who mostly just… naps<br/><br/>This is not a dog who will warm up overnight. He’s not a snuggler, and he may never be one. Arlo needs someone who accepts that fully.<br/><br/>Arlo has had a hard life, and the result is a dog who protects his space and has firm boundaries. We believe there is someone out there who understands dogs like him — the quiet, independent ones who simply need a safe place to land and a human who lets them be themselves.<br/><br/>Arlo isn’t for everyone. But for the right person, he will be a peaceful, low-maintenance, quirky little roommate who enjoys slow walks, soft beds, grass-rolling sessions, and long, uninterrupted naps.<br/><br/>If you think you’re the person who can give Arlo the understanding home he needs, we would love to talk to you.<br/><br/>Adopt Arlo: https://bit.ly/AdoptIFR<br/>Foster Arlo: https://bit.ly/FosterIFR

Arlo is who he is — an independent senior who wants peace, predictable routines, and a human who truly gets him.

If you’re looking for a low-key companion who naps more than any dog you’ve ever met… Arlo might be your guy. But he’ll need someone who understands (and respects) his boundaries every single day.

Arlo can be:

-Snappy and temperamental when approached or touched without consent
-A dog who must be allowed to come to you first — always
-Food aggressive, especially if treats are handed to him rather than placed on the floor
-Highly uncomfortable with kids — and absolutely cannot live with or be around them
-A dog who cannot live with other pets

And at the same time he is also…

-A wonderful
