Dog Finder

Arlo is a handsome 3-year old male Yellow Labrador Retriever who was brought to the HSOV on December 6, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found him on Echo Valley Road in the Waterford Ohio area. Arlo was accompanied by his best friend Steven (an adult American Staffordshire Terrier) who is also in our shelter. Neither of these boys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped. Arlo has a yellow/tan short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with dark brown eyes, a chocolate brown nose, and large floppy ears which frame his face. This sweet boy has a gentle, easygoing personality. Arlo enjoys attention and being petted by our kennel techs and volunteers. Arlo and his best friend (Steven) are continuing to enjoy their own 'bachelor's pad' in our Safe Haven Building where they have the freedom of not being in a kennel. Interestingly, Arlo enjoys being petted and when Steven sees Arlo getting pets .. then Steven wants them as well. Neither Arlo nor Steven accepts cats into their circle of friends and cannot be trusted to be nice to them. Arlo is a rather large boy who weighs 76 lbs. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Arlo and Steven were held for the three-day stray hold so that their family would have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for this awesome pair, so they are now available for adoption. Arlo and Steven are very bonded with each other, so we believe that it is in their best interest to be adopted together. Arlo was neutered on June 10, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos for spending time with Arlo for these updated photos late in the afternoon on September 28, 2025. Arlo was a natural for the camera lens and flashed his beautiful smile like a pro. Since Arlo and Steven are very bonded with each other, Angel and HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard teamed up to walk both boys from their 'apartment' in the Safe Haven Building so that they did not have to be separated. Arlo and Steven are ready to find a fabulous home (together of course). Since both boys have been neutered, they could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Update: Arlo is in medical foster care as of November 1st 2026.
