ARNIE's Story

#A5739053<br/>Meet<br/>Arnie<br/>, a 3-year-old Akita mix boy, with a luscious smoky brindle coat that looks like shadows dancing across his back, accented by bright splashes of white on his chest and tippy toes. Though underweight for his size, he already brings a regal, imposing presence - one that will look even more handsome with extra meals, snacks, and plenty of TLC to help him fill out. In the shelter, Arnie can seem shut down and cautious, tail low, but once he warms up, that tail curls high and his true personality shines through. He absolutely adores the ladies, seeming most comfortable around female humans, and would thrive in a female-led household. Friendly, loose-bodied, and social with other dogs - especially active pups - he could make a wonderful playmate or sibling with careful introductions. Best suited for an adults-only home, Arnie will need slow, patient introductions to new people, but the reward is a loyal, loving companion with so much heart to give. Come scoop up this darling boy today!<br/><br/>-3 year old brown brindle Akita mix<br/><br/>-64 pound male - not yet neutered due to a little doggy cold, so will need to be adopted on a trust waiver promising to have him neutered as soon as well enough to do so<br/><br/>-up to date on all shots and preventatives, so ready to go home with you today! However, he did pick up a little doggy cold at the shelter, so will need to be adopted on a health waiver - adopter to follow up with own vet for further diagnostics and potential treatment<br/><br/>-came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on 11/17/25 as a stray<br/><br/>-great on leash, definitely seems potty trained, fabulous with other large dogs, and eager to please, so a good candidate for basic commands/training!<br/><br/>-best for an adults only home, with slow intros for any new people<br/><br/>ARNIE’S VIDEO:<br/><br/>https://youtube.com/shorts/O-2ONMc6t0I<br/><br/>For more information, contact volunteer Lisa at<br/><br/>lisaa@unitedhopeforanimals.org<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.
