Archie's Story

Archie- Sweet, Sensitive & Growing Confidence :)


Meet Archie! A super handsome gentleman that deserves all the love in the world! When Archie first joined us at the Bundy Shelter, he was badly underweight, but with time and excellent care he is in good shape now. Mr Archie can be initially wary of new people, but once he trusts you enough to come out of his shell, he will be your #1 best-est boy! Archie is a Bull Arab Mix, who is eager to build his knowledge/understanding of the world.


What Archie Needs:


A prospective adopter requires patience and understanding of an initially cautious doggo- Archie needs a little extra TLC to start with.


Daily physical and mental enrichment to help keep his mind active and encourage more confidence to bloom throughout.


A calm but active home- Archie is falling in love with his daily walking routines, so to keep his confidence and leash manners up, consistency and structure is crucial for him.


Positive, supervised interactions with friendly dogs —Archie can be a little picky and overwhelmed by more energetic furry friends, but is making some paw pals in the shelter :)


Where he's at now:


Archie has come such a long way since joining us at the bundy shelter. Going from being scared of a lead, to now getting excited for those daily outings! He responds gorgeously to positive reinforcement, loves food enrichment toys and gentle encouragement. Archie is also the kind of fella that loves to snuggle and feel safe with his people.


Despite Archies harsher start to life, he is smart, affectionate, and waiting to find his forever home and to bond with his people! With the right home and patience, he will flourish into your BFFF (Best Fur Friend Furr-ever!)


Why Choose Archie?


He is quiet natured, a total sweetheart, smart and forever growing confidence- a spectacular mix of soul and intelligence. Archie is waiting for his future family who will cherish his gentle soul and support him with knowing he deserves love!

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
