Are you right for Archie?

Archie is a sweet dog who is looking for a forever home where he can truly shine. He can get a little overwhelmed in busy or noisy settings, so a quiet and predictable environment is exactly what he needs. An ideal adopter would have experience with excitable or sensitive dogs and be able to support Archie’s ongoing training and emotional needs. Archie thrives on positive interactions and would benefit greatly from continued support and training to unleash his full potential. A secure outdoor space with 6ft fencing or higher is a must for Archie, so he has somewhere he can relax and enjoy playtime safely. Archie has the potential to live with secondary school-aged children who understand his background and can be sensitive to his needs. Due to Archie's background, we are looking to rehome him as an only pet. However, he enjoys the company of other dogs on walks, and he would surely appreciate having some calm and friendly walking buddies.

Is Archie right for you?

Archie is a 6-year-old Labrador Cross. He’s full of joy and excitement, always ready to greet you with a wag and a cuddle. Archie loves attention, playtime (especially with fluffy toys!), and making new friends. He’s gentle with treats and eager to learn. Archie will need a bit of time to settle into his new home and get used to being left alone, but with patience and love, he’ll be a wonderful companion. Interested in Archie? Our team is happy to share more about his story!
