Arley

About This Dog for Adoption

Arley's ideal home

Arley is an enthusiastic one-year-old Labrador who is full of life and excitement. He’ll suit an active, dog-savvy household with adopters who have plenty of time to dedicate to him, with the youngest family members of secondary-school age. Arley is still learning about the big wide world and can be sensitive at times, so he needs a stable home environment with consistent routines and a peaceful place to relax at the end of a busy day. A house in a quiet area (not a busy high street or flat) with a garden of his own is essential, as he can be noise-reactive and may alert-bark at passersby. Arley will need to be the only pet at home and isn’t suitable for properties that share walls with neighbouring dogs. However, he could have walking buddies with well-matched dogs, and it is advised that his adopters continue to work with him on his doggy-social skills. Other training that Arley would benefit from includes loose-lead walking, as he can be strong at times, and working on building his confidence with being left alone. He’ll need a multi-carer household, with adopters who are able to physically manage his strength.

Could you be Arley's perfect match?

Full of potential, Arley is a super smart chap who is bound to make for a fun and interactive companion. Always eager to be involved, he loves to work his brain when learning new skills or investigating enrichment activities. He’s affectionate, food-motivated, and full of enthusiasm for life. His favourite things include games of tug, swimming in the sea, exploring on his walks, soft toys to parade around, and a good old snuggle on the sofa after a day of excitement.
