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

---

- May take a little time to open up, but LOVES snuggles once he comes out of his shell

- Treats are the way to his heart!

- Does great in the car and is always down for an adventure

- Not a fan of his kennel and may bark while inside - would rather be on your lap

- Foster family says he's still working on potty training, but has been doing well with puppy pads in the house

- Came from a situation where they did not get the socialization and exposure to the world that dogs typically get from a young age. Because of this, they may struggle with new situations, may show uncertainty with novel everyday objects, may need help understanding leashes, and will need patience and structure with housetraining.

- Has done best with a "helper" dog when it comes to learning that people can be OK, and we recommend that they go to a home with another dog; has enjoyed spending time with another dog in his foster home

- May not do well in a busy home with young children

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.
