Jacksonville, FL – In April, an emaciated dog dubbed Arnold was brought to the Jacksonville Humane Society as a stray. At the time, Arnold was nothing more than skin and bones…too weak to stand, and hesitant to accept affection from the people caring for him.

But the staff’s patience paid off, and Arnold learned to trust. The animal welfare agency said:

Arnold slowly started to trust the people helping him – he would snuggle up next to them during his check-ups and looked up at them gratefully when they’d help him go outside. When they’d sit in the sun, Arnold would rest his head on their laps and give gentle kisses.

Today, Arnold is happy, healthy, and ready for adoption!
