Meet Archie!
A spirited one-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix currently in Omaha, NE, whose essence is pure joy wrapped in a handsome tan coat, soulful eyes, and a striking black muzzle.
At about 65 pounds, Archie is a big, goofy love bug who is still discovering just how much space those long legs occupy! His occasional clumsiness only adds to his charm. Once Archie trusts you, cuddling becomes a full-body experience. He may melt against you with all 65 pounds or wander between your legs for a reassuring lean, making it wonderfully clear that being close to his people is his happy place!
Archie is playful, friendly, and extremely gentle with other dogs. He loves racing around a fenced yard, being chased by canine friends, chewing his bones, and proudly finding a good stick to carry during his adventures. He is submissive during dog play and happily shares his food and toys. He is also gentle with children of all ages and friendly with new people! His compatibility with cats is currently unknown.
This sweet boy has medium energy and enjoys frequent outdoor play followed by cozy evening cuddles. He is still working on potty training and would benefit from a patient pet parent who can continue helping him learn through consistency and positive reinforcement. His known command is “treat,” which sounds like an excellent starting point for future training sessions!
Archie can manage short periods alone and seems more comfortable staying in a room than a kennel. Leashes and car rides can make him nervous, so patient, confidence-building experiences will help him continue blossoming. A fenced yard is required for his playtime and adventures.
Archie is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He has a sensitive stomach that currently does well with Hill’s Science Diet Biome prescription food and a quality probiotic.
Most of all, Archie is a soulful, affectionate companion who wants to be deeply connected to his family. He needs a committed, caring family ready to make him their beloved buddy. Could Archie be the sweet, slightly clumsy best friend you’ve been waiting to meet?
If you’re interested in providing Archie with a loving home, please email meetme@joyfulpets.com for more information about adopting him! Please note that Archie is currently in foster care through one of our trusted rescue partners and will remain with his foster family until the right match is found. Because rescue-partner pets are managed directly by their respective organizations, their adoption process, requirements, and fees may differ from Joyful Pets’ direct rehoming program. Our team will be happy to connect you with the rescue and help guide you through their process to ensure everything goes smoothly.
