Archie is Waiting for His Forever Home!

By Amanda Volden

Say "hello" to our new friend Archie! Archie was transferred from Animal Services in Camarillo on January 27th. When Archie first got here he was very timid and scared. Our Assistant Shelter Director brought Archie up into her office during the days to help him get more comfortable here at the shelter and with staff. Turns out, this big guy warms up really quick! He is still not a big fan of the kennels but is happy and relaxed when he is outside. Archie walks nicely on a leash and loves to be around people!Archie was brought into Animal Services as a stray so we do not have any background information on him. Come meet this big love bug today!
