At just 3 months old, Arthur Read is already learning that the world can be a safe and gentle place. This Husky/German Shepherd mix may be a little shy at first, but behind those cautious eyes is a sweet puppy who’s slowly coming out of his shell—especially with the help of other dogs showing him the way.

In his foster home, Arthur has been quietly observing, learning, and growing more confident each day. While he’s not the type to demand attention right away, he loves being near his people, happily keeping you company as he builds trust at his own pace.
