Arty's Story

Looking for a Smart, Loyal Companion with Tons of Personality? Meet Arty! I'm a small wire-coated dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. I'm the kind of dog who forms deep, meaningful bonds with my people-and when I love you, I love you completely. What Makes Me Special I'm incredibly affectionate with people I trust. Once we've built our connection, I'll be your devoted shadow-curling up beside you for movie nights, greeting you with pure joy when you come home, and gazing at you like you're my whole world. My foster mom says I have more love to give than dogs twice my size. I'm also smart and independent, which means I'm great at entertaining myself and don't need constant attention. I know what I like and I'm not shy about it, which my foster family finds endearing (and often hilarious). What I'm Looking For The perfect home for me is with someone who appreciates a dog with character. I do best with: An experienced dog owner who understands that good things take time A calm, patient person who will let our bond develop naturally Someone who enjoys a dog with personality and independence A home where I can be the center of attention (I prefer being the only pet) My Ideal Day Includes cozy time on the couch, walks at a relaxed pace, playtime on my terms, and lots of quality time with my favorite person-you! I might take a little time to settle in, but I promise the wait is worth it. When I choose you, you'll have a loyal, loving companion for life.
