- Matches the energy of whatever rooms he's in and is happy to lounge on the couch or get up and play or go on an adventure
- Bonds with new people and friends quickly
- Always wants to be by your side once his knows you; will be a great little shadow and is happiest when he's with you
- Loves bones and squeaky toys
- Likes going on walks and overall does well on a leash
- Appears to be potty trained, just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule
- Would likely enjoy a yard to run around in in his new home
- Previous family said he is still working on crate-training and does best in a plastic crate
- Has lived with kids and did well with them, but very young ones might be a bit much, so we think he may do best in a more mature home
- Has done great with other dogs in his foster home, but will need to meet any dogs in his new family before going home
- Lived with cats and would touch noses with them from time to time but generally gave them distance
- Previous family said he may have had separation-related anxiety when one of the family members started a full-time job, but that he had done very well previously when the family left him to run errands; to set adopters up for success we will provide info about working on separation-related anxiety if it should occur
This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program. If you're interested in fostering to adopt, please reach out to meetme@arl-iowa.org.
All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)
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.
