This week, meet Arthur, a dog with a perpetually sunny disposition.

If you believe a dog should truly be part of a family, Arthur is right for you. This guy would do best in a home where he could tag along on daily outings and feel like he’s part of the family.

Though he’s reached full adult size, he’s mentally still a puppy and very eager to learn. With a little proper training, Arthur is sure to become the ideal dog. Volunteers also say though he’s a bit of goofball, he’s also one of the most loving dogs they’ve worked with. No matter how much you end up loving him, he’s sure to love you even more, they say. 

Arthur is available for adoption at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. His adoption fee of $125 includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, and microchip identification.
