MY HISTORY

ABOUT ARLO

Hi, I’m Arlo!

I’ve been deaf since birth and I do know sign language, so please don’t let this put you off!

I love meeting new people and having lots of fuss and attention!

I don’t have any issues being left although I do like to be around people!

At night I am used to sleeping in my owners bed however I do have my own bed too if that is preferred.

I have lived with children previously however a quieter household suits me better.

I won’t go walking in the rain just to let you know!

I can be a little unsettled initially when travelling but I do calm down after a short period of time.

I am more of a grazer with food so don’t panic if I don’t eat all my food at once!

I am quite strong on the lead and I would love to find an experienced dog owner who is confident in managing a deaf dog.

I have anxieties when being out on walks which will be discussed with the right applicants, I am looking for a home who is willing to work with the rescue and the behaviourist.

MY TEMPERAMENT WITH OTHER DOGS

Under further assessments. I have been said to ignore other dogs.

TYPE OF HOME NEEDED

I am looking for:

• A foster or forever home
• A pet free home
• An adult only home

Do you have a home for Arlo?

We are looking for foster families and adoptive families.

We do ask foster homes to be within an hour’s drive of Bournemouth foster homes will be expected to drive back to our vets in Bournemouth and to meet with prospective new homes.

We rehome to adoptive families within a 2 hour driving radius of Bournemouth. (maximum 2hrs,20 minutes for the perfect applicant willing to travel) Please DO NOT ask if we make exceptions further and look at other rescues covering your area if we do not.

A home check and a vet check is required, with a £250 adoption fee (or £400 for puppy adoption under 1 year), which contributes partially to kennel fees, vaccinations, microchipping, spay/neutering, flea/worming treatment and other veterinary costs. This adoption fee will contribute to the care of all our dogs.

We have a thorough rehoming programme to prepare you and your dog for each other. We also offer help and support for you both in the future. Learn about responsible ownership or contact us if you have any questions.
