Description:
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog J:12Meet Archie! This 10-month-old, 43-pound pup has had a tough time adjusting to shelter life. Archie is naturally very shy, hesitant around people, and seeks out quiet corners to feel safe. But here's the beautiful part of his story—Archie is thriving in the playgroup program. Around other dogs, Archie transforms into a completely different pup. His playful and gentle nature shines as he bounces around with his doggy friends, finally able to relax and be his puppy self. The influence of other dogs has been incredibly positive for Archie, showing us just how much he would benefit from a home with a confident and well-matched canine companion to help him build trust and confidence. Archie is looking for an adopter who will meet him where he is—someone patient, gentle, and willing to let him set the pace. With love, understanding, and a safe space to call his own, Archie has every potential to blossom into a loyal, loving companion. If you're ready to be the hero Archie needs, he'll reward you with quiet moments of trust and the joy of seeing him come out of his shell, one small step at a time. Could you be the one to give Archie his second chance?
