About Arthur

-100% housetrained - no accidents or marking. - Initially did great on the leash but is starting to get stressed in uptown and can be reactive. Would love a quieter neighborhood with access to a backyard. - Not a picky eater and very treat motivated! - Cat friendly! He was swatted by the resident cat and didn't react at all. - Arthur came to the shelter with his sister Joy, and seems to enjoy canine companionship. - He recently had a meet and greet with a female Bernese mountain dog and did wonderfully! Greeted her nicely and kindly sniffed her. - He spent a few days in foster with three other dogs and was relaxed and comfortable having them around. - He is great at picking up on routines - knows his bedtime routine and morning routine now. - In the mornings, he will sleep in and wait patiently for you to take him outside. - He has been left alone for up to 7 hours uncrated with no accidents and no destructive behavior, doesn't need to be crated. - He goes up stairs easily, but can be a little clumsy coming back down. - He will jump into the car on his own, but needs a small boost (I have an SUV). Once he's in, he rides very nicely. - No kids under 12 due to sometimes guarding little things around the home and did not like meeting small children during testing. Overall: Arthur is such a sweet, easy dog to have around. It took him a few days to fully settle in, but once he did he quickly learned my routine. He arrived at the shelter in very poor condition. It's been over 3 months in foster now, and he's had a complete glow up! He has some lingering itchy skin that he will need some continued support for but he's already in much better condition than he was when he arrived. The shelter has him on apoquel and it seems to help a lot. The main note about Arthur is that he is not a city dog. I live in Uptown on the top floor of an apartment building, directly next to the highway. While he's doing great inside my tiny apartment, he would do much better in a quieter neighborhood with access to a yard. Uptown is too stressful for him, and it's starting to show on the leash when we go out for walks. He is starting to react to people and dogs on walks, and he needs a calmer environment. He would love a yard where he can decompress without too much going on around him.
