ARCHIE - CAIRN TERRIER / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cairn Terrier / Mixed (long coat). Meet Archie. This handsome budding senior was spotted running along a busy highway when a Good Samaritan stopped and got him safely out of harm’s way. He was taken to a local animal hospital, where he completed the required stray hold, and Animal Control was notified, but no one ever came forward to claim him. The hospital reached out to us to help Archie find the loving forever home he deserves. Archie has been thriving in his foster home for the past few weeks, living with his foster mom and dad, two other dogs, and enjoying regular visits and playtime with the grandkids. He’s proven to be a friendly, confident pup who gets along with everyone, both people and dogs alike. Inside the home, Archie is calm and well-mannered with moderate energy. He’ll occasionally play with toys, but he’s happiest lounging with his pack in the yard or soaking up the sun on the back deck. Don’t let his laidback nature fool you , though, when it’s time for a walk, Archie lights up with excitement. He’s an excellent walking buddy who would love an owner who enjoys daily strolls. Overall, Archie is a social, happy boy who will make a wonderful companion and loyal sidekick. He’ll greet you with joy when you come home and may roll over for belly rubs. While he’s not a big kisser, Archie loves snuggling next to you on the couch and soaking up affection. This boy is fabulous. He’s the kind of dog you can take anywhere: he rides well in the car, enjoys new experiences, and charms everyone he meets. Archie would do best in a home with a flexible schedule, and he’d thrive with another calm pup buddy, since he truly enjoys being part of a pack. Archie will be coming to town on 8/30. Apply today!
