“Golly bob howdy!” If your favorite character from the Toy Story movies is Slinky or “Slink”, then Arthur is for you! This short-legged, long tailed hound mix is available for adoption through Pet Refuge. Arthur is only 1 year old, but he is already beginning to realize his greatness. He walks on a leash and is nearly housetrained. He would benefit from structure and routine, i.e., walk, eat, sleep, repeat. With patience, leadership, and consistent direction, Arthur will grow into a wonderful companion and into his best doggie self. Arthur would do best in a home without children and it is uncertain how he would interact with other animals as he can be quite selective in friends. Several visits with Arthur may be necessary to get to know him and for him to get to know you as he is not the most confident pup. Call Pet Refuge today and slink on over to meet Arthur.
