Notes: Archie loves to go for walks and gets so excited to do so. He spends his days playing with his toys and chew bones. He needs to be the only pet in the home. But he sure loves people. Archie was found running loose with his brother who has been adopted. He has been sad since he left and so far he has been the only dog that he has gotten along with. Archie firmly believes that he is a 5 lb lap dog and wants to be right in your lap. He is 56 pounds. He is around 1 year old. He has a medium energy level which means he loves to be exercised but also likes to lay down and snuggle. Archie is a stunning boy, his photos do not do him justice. His adoption fee has been paid by a generous donor.
