More about Archie

Meet Archie! Born January 10, 2026, and currently weighing 6 pounds, Archie is a confident, fun-loving pup who has been thriving in his foster home alongside his siblings. He is playful, curious, and incredibly sweet. Archie loves interacting with the bigger dogs in the home and already shows impressive boundaries, often watching them closely to learn the house rules. His bold but respectful personality makes him a wonderful mix of adventurous and affectionate. Archie is a true “super mutt” with an incredible and diverse DNA mix! His lineage includes American Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Siberian Husky, German Shepherd Dog, Labrador Retriever, Chow Chow, Australian Cattle Dog, Poodle (Toy & Miniature), American Cocker Spaniel, Chihuahua, Golden Retriever, Pomeranian, Alaskan Malamute, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Mastiff, Boxer, Rottweiler, Doberman Pinscher, Boston Terrier, Keeshond, Maltese, and Lhasa Apso. With such a wide variety of breeds in his background, Archie’s adult size is truly a mystery! Momma Shiloh weighs just 25 pounds, so if Archie takes after the smaller breeds in his DNA like Poodle, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Maltese, or Lhasa Apso, he may stay on the smaller side. If he favors his Shepherd, Husky, Retriever, or other working-breed relatives, he could grow into a medium or possibly larger-sized adult. At 6 pounds right now, he’s the biggest of his brothers so far, but only time will tell where he lands! Archie may inherit intelligence and drive from his Shepherd, Husky, and Cattle Dog lineage. His Retriever and Spaniel genes could bring friendliness and eagerness to please, while his terrier and guardian-breed background may contribute to his confidence and loyalty. His companion-breed mix may add that affectionate, people-oriented sweetness that makes him such a joy to be around. He is just beginning potty training and will need continued guidance, patience, and consistency as he learns. With structure and positive reinforcement, Archie has all the potential to grow into a well-balanced, devoted family companion. Archie would do well in a home with other dogs or as a solo pup soaking up all the attention. An active family and/or a yard where he can run, play, and explore would be a wonderful fit for this outgoing boy. Archie will be ready for his forever home on March 7th, and applications are being accepted now. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
