My story

Ever get stressed or anxious when you are inside? But once you get outside&#44 you feel free as a bird and relax and calm your inner nerves? Well&#44 thatandamp;#39;s me! Hi&#44 Iandamp;#39;m handsome and sweet-natured Archie&#44 and I was simply not made for shelter life. Nope&#44 sitting inside a kennel when I all I really want is to be out and about with YOU is very frustrating! They call it andamp;quot;transition stressandamp;quot;. Since I know you are going to want to meet me&#44 ask the staff to have us go on a walk to meet each other. Thatandamp;#39;s when the true Archie and my wonderful personality shine through!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m young&#44 energetic&#44 friendly&#44 and a confident boy. I met up with another dog in a one-on-one playgroup&#44 and we did great together. I might go in a little too enthusiastic at my first meeting sometimes; but&#44 I was told to chill out by the other pup&#44 and I did exactly that! Iandamp;#39;m smart&#44 too&#44 see? Iandamp;#39;m a big tail wagger&#44 and Iandamp;#39;m a lover of toys and tug. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;The shelter thinks Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with kids 8 and up. Iandamp;#39;ve got so much love to give to a family. I just want my chance again&#44 and I wonandamp;#39;t be able to contain my excitement when you say&#44 andamp;quot;Archie&#44 youandamp;#39;re coming home!andamp;quot;. I canandamp;#39;t wait!!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Archie
