My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email ARL-Adoption@arl-iowa.org.

---

- LOVES to run and play outside; would probably enjoy a big fenced yard

- Recently got to spend some time out of the shelter with a human companion, who said she was "quite the cuddler and even a hugger!"

- Knows sit, shake, and down and loves treats, so she'd likely be a fast learner; positive reinforcement-based training classes would be great for her for learning new things, building confidence and bonding with her family

- Appears to be potty trained; just remember any dog may need time to adjust to a new schedule

- Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro recommended)

- May need some extra time to decompress in a new home, so please plan on giving her that if she needs it

The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label.

Primary Color: Brown
Secondary Color: Black
Weight: 41
Age: 1yrs 9mths 1wks
