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 Kathryn at kvry@arl-iowa.org.



---



- Total goofball who enjoys bouncing around outside



- Enjoys running around and playing with squeaker toys



- Has a lot to say and a lot of ways to say it, and will 'scream' at her favorite people in excitement



- Has done well with lots of people she's met, and is happy to greet them



- Does well on a leash



- Knows shake and sit, and would be easy to teach new things to



- Will need continued work with crate training or alternate methods to keep her safe when home alone



- Enjoys like-minded dog friends



- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended)



- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (needs a teens and up home at this time)



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.
