Story
This is our new friend, Smokey!Smokey is a boxer mix and, let me tell you folks, he loves to be around people. So long as there aren`t any milkbones, his attention is on his person nearby.He would love a home with someone to hold him through thunderstorms (they`re scary). Smokey is used to living with an older gentleman but is open to loving a person of ANY age.Smokey loves toys, treats, and other dogs!He gets quite excited around cats, so we advise caution if you were to take him into a home with one. Smokey would probably take some work to get used to a feline friend.Consider coming out to meet Smokey!!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nelly! ❤️   Nelly (fka Azel) is a beautiful Boxer mix with a heart that's just waiting for the right person to help it shine. After being returned to our shelter, she's looking for a fresh start with a family that understands that trust takes time. Nelly can be a little nervous and reactive - when meeting new people or experiencing unfamiliar situations, and she's sensitive to certain noises, but once she feels safe and knows you're part of her circle, her goofy, loving personality begins to blossom. She enjoys spending time with her people and forms strong, loyal bonds with those she loves. Nelly is looking for a home with older children (ages 16 and up) or adults only, as younger children are not the best fit for her. She can also be protective of her home and the people she cares about, so she'll thrive with patient adopters who are committed to continuing her training, building her confidence, and helping her feel secure. With consistency, understanding, and plenty of positive reinforcement, Nelly has all the potential to become an incredibly devoted companion. If you're willing to give this sweet girl the time she deserves, you'll be rewarded with a loyal best friend who will love you with her whole heart. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 14, 2026, 3:25 pm

Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet him, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- Kind soul who has really been coming out of his shell in his foster home; his foster family says he's sweet and playful, loves walks and does well in the car - Has been fully potty trained in his foster home and a well-behaved houseguest; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine- Sleeps on a dog bed in his family's room at night, and has not been kenneled in his foster home- Went on a Dog's Day Out field trip while in the shelter: "He's a super sweet dog. He had no interest in the tennis ball LOL but loved to chase me around the dog park. He loves belly rubs and would often ask for cuddles. He did pretty well when asked to sit but would often lay down instead of sit. He enjoyed his long walks and definitely preferred to be outside after he got his power nap in. He was very interested in other people and wanted to say hi to everyone we passed." - Did well when introduced to his foster family's grandchildren, but may be most comfortable in a home with more mature family members - May tend to avoid other dogs, but did well meeting another dog while in his foster home (dog intro recommended) - Met some cats while in his foster home and wasn't sure what to make of them - he was definitely interested but cautious - Overall a very nice boy who would be a great addition to the family! 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. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 74.5 Age: 6yrs 2mths 3wks

Story
- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity and mental challenges to keep his body and brain busy- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "He's a very sweet and mellow boy. He thinks he has more energy than he has! He loves to go for walks but gets tired quickly. He is a very good boy and would be great for anyone looking for a mellow and loving buddy to go through each day with them!"- May prefer to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs; may like a dog friend or may prefer to be the only dog in his new home (dog intro required)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.
