Arrow

Meet Arrow! Arrow is an energetic goofy fella. Arrow came to us emaciated and sickly, and while we don't know what his early years were like, it's easy to tell they weren't kind. Arrow needs very slow introductions to strangers as he learns to trust that humans aren't out to get him. He is especially scared of men. Arrow is bouncy and silly in the house. He loves rope toys and often tosses one for himself to go fetch. He gets along well with other dogs but not all dogs would appreciate his boisterous personality. He has done well both running and cycling, and has all the energy you'd expect from a Border Collie. Arrow would thrive in a home that can help him build his confidence in the world. Adopters would need to continue his training with A Promised Friend Dog Training. Apply today!
