ARLO is a one-and-a-half-year-old male pointer mix who weighs about 50 pounds. ARLO is a goofy guy who loves to have fun - he does NOT, however, love cats. ARLO does do well around kiddos though and does a pretty good job with potty training (if kept on a schedule). And, like most of us, ARLO will work for treats!

The best piece of information I can give you about ARLO is that his adoption fee is $0 - this handsome young man is FREE for the right home.

If you'd like to meet this adorable fella, please complete an online adoption application. Once you're approved you can schedule a meet & greet with ARLO.

All of the dogs at It Takes a Village are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, and treated if necessary.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
