Meet the Pet
Take the Pet Home
- An absolute goofball who loves to go on adventures and is always curious about new things
- Super friendly and loves getting pets from everyone she meets!
- Loves stuffed toys, tennis balls, bones, lick mats and KONGs
- Enjoys ice cream as a treat and is always happy to get a pup cup
- Loves going on walks and explore; does best with a harness
- Has done well when passing other dogs on walks and has not barked at them
- Smart lady, already knows sit, down and place and is working on learning shake
- Does GREAT traveling in the car and will hop right in for an adventure!
- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip and had a great time with her human companions: "Cali is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves her people and thrives on cuddles and connection. She's playful, loves toys, and a good game of fetch, but she's just as happy lounging and soaking up attention."
- Foster family says she has done great when left home alone; does not seem to enjoy her kennel and may try to get out
- Has been working on potty training in her foster home, but will need some help from her new family to get to 100%
- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for her, but has done great with a slightly older child in her foster home
- Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs and would do best as the only dog in her new home
- Has been diagnosed with medial patellar luxation of the left knee (more info at ARL)
This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program. If you're interested in fostering to adopt, please reach out to fosterinquiry@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.
