Adoption Area: East Tennessee

Arlo needs:

• Grooming every 6-8 weeks and daily brushing to keep my coat healthy and tangle free
• Children over the age of 12
• Active adult home
• No cats
• Knoxville area adopter – in three months I will need surgery to reduce my facial folds so they don’t impair my vision.

Hello my name is Arlo.  I am a 3 year old male Pekingese and I weigh about 13 pounds.  My coat is a beautiful cream color and luxurious!  I’m a little silly and a happy boy that loves people once I get to know them.  I’m playful and if you have another pup that wants a playmate that would be nice or I can be your one and only.  I love to cuddle and hang out with you wherever you are.

I’ve had BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome) surgery to open my nasal passages, a tonsillectomy and palate repair because I couldn’t breathe through my nose.  I have healed from that surgery and gosh it sure did make a difference in my life!  We want to make sure that I’m completely healed from my first surgery so part two of my surgery needs to be done in about 3 months.  That surgery is to reduce the skin folds under my eyes so they don’t impact my vision.  Whomever adopts me needs to be in the Knoxville area so they can get me to SBRET’s vet for that surgery and SBRET will cover the cost of the surgery. 

I walk great on a leash and I sleep perfectly in my crate at night.  My foster mom tells me to “go to bed” and I walk right in my crate.  I’m doing great with my house training and you can either take me for a walk on a leash or let me out in a securely fenced yard for my potty breaks.  I LOVE my food and I need a “go slow” bowl so I don’t gobble my food.

I’ve been neutered, up to date with my vaccinations and I’m on heartworm prevention.  My adoption fee is $175.
