ARNOLD (GENTLE SENIOR) Mastiff & Shar-Pei Mix Wyandotte, MI

ARNOLD ended up at the shelter as a senior stray. He is estimated to be over 7 years old, but could be over 10 years old. His first weeks at the shelter, Arnold was shaking in fear at all of the loud barking. Once volunteers were able to work with him, he very quickly warmed up to everyone.

Arnold would be a best companion for long morning and evening strolls, then curling up for afternoon naps.

He knows basic commends and is eager to learn new ones. Last week our trainer taught him to "leave it". He is already proficient at shaking paws and can't wait to show you!

He's not going to be especially good with other animals, and should be an only pet. He likes to watch them, but prefers his solitude when it comes to other animals.
