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

---



- Super sweet boy who loves pets and will roll over on his back for belly rubs

- Likes to sit and observe people going about their day



- Knows sit and come



- Walks nicely on a leash but may try to guide you in the direction he wants to go if he sees something interesting



- Does GREAT in the car and will plop down in the back and snooze



- Good at going into his crate for his foster family and has only had two accidents while in his foster home; has generally done well with potty training in his foster home

- Can be very enthusiastic when asking for attention



- May be interested in investigating what's on your counters



- Will love a home with a fenced-in yard where he can run and play

- Will do best in a home where everyone is old enough to handle his happy, friendly energy



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.
