Here’s Your Quick Peek: Arlo is a gentle, shy Miniature Poodle who came to CPR from a hoarding case and is learning that people can be kind and life can be safe. He’s friendly after a minute, warms up beautifully once he feels secure, and thrives in calm environments with patient humans. Arlo is affectionate, sensitive, and sweet — a quiet companion who wants to follow you around, sit near you, and feel safe with you.
He loves other small dogs and enjoys gentle play. With large dogs, he can be selective and prefers slow introductions. Arlo is still working on house training, crate training, and leash manners, but he tries hard and responds well to gentle encouragement.

Cats: Arlo is fine with cats - if anything he's a little afraid of them. He's curious what those furry, purring creatures area!
Fun fact: Arlo is full of energy but still a little shy - a perfect mix of playful spirit and tender heart.
Potential Adopters
Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
