Meet Arlo
Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Arlo came into our lives after I had come out of hospital for mental health issues. He has been a shining star leading me to a better future. He helps me have a routine, a purpose, an excuse to go for walks. Arlo will never understand how important he is and how much he has helped me and my partner move forward. He’s not just a dog, he’s our family, he depends on us, but we depend on him too.
