Archer is a bright, active dog who loves having something to do and someone to do it with. He’s house trained and did great during a recent sleepover, settling into his own room and relaxing independently with no destructive behavior. He’s learning how to balance his energy and continues to make great progress.

He enjoys fast-paced walks and thrives when he can get out and move. Playtime is a highlight of his day—he loves toys, is great at fetch, and has a blast chasing water from a hose. His enthusiasm makes him a fun and engaging companion for someone who enjoys an interactive dog.

Archer is very smart and eager to learn. He already knows “sit” and is picking up “back up,” “drop it,” and “wait.” He responds well to guidance and would do well with someone who enjoys training and helping a dog continue to build skills and confidence.
If you’re looking for a fun, intelligent dog who’s ready to keep learning and be your activity partner, Archer could be a great match. Reach out to learn more about adopting or fostering him.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
