Story
This adorable little scruff is Connor! He is 18lbs, approximately 3 years old and full of love. He has done amazing in his foster home with a variety of other pups and two young kids. Cats are a little too exciting for him, sorry! Connor is truly such a happy guy who loves to run around, explore then snuggle up with his people. We are requiring a home with *securely fenced* yard- he is an escape artist and will not poop on leash. No shared wall homes are recommended as he is a noisy boy in his kennel when his fosters leave. If interested in meeting Connor please submit an adoption application at www.foreverhomedogs.org.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email cjohnson@arl-iowa.org.---- Takes time to warm up, but once you're in her inner circle she loves to sit on laps and follow you around - Playful and loves to collect her squeaky toys in her bed - Is the best lap warmer - Would do best in a home with mature teenagers or adults only - Has been introduced to other dogs while in the shelter and done well with polite calmer dogs - We don't know her history with cats 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. Primary Color: Tri Color Secondary Color: White Age: 1yrs 6mths 4wks

Story
Meet Millie… a 4-year-old, 14-pound Chihuahua mix who missed the memo about acting like an adult and is fully committed to her forever puppy era. Millie loves her people with her whole entire being… and believes the best way to show that is by being as close as physically possible at all times. Sitting next to you? Not enough. She prefers on you, against you, or directly under your chin. Personal space is a concept she has chosen to ignore. Despite being four, Millie still has plenty of playful puppy energy. She loves to play, bounce around, and break out into spontaneous zoomies like she just remembered she has legs. She plays well with other playful dogs. She will walk on a leash, but she would really enjoy a home with a physically fenced yard where she can run, play, and get her zoomies out safely. Millie came to us after being surrendered by a family who, unfortunately, was not able to properly care for her. When she first arrived, it was clear she had been kenneled too much and not let out often. She would drink all the water available to her and was having frequent accidents. We quickly learned there was more going on. Millie has diabetes insipidus, which is very different from the more commonly known diabetes related to blood sugar. Her body doesn’t produce enough of the hormone ADH, which helps regulate water balance. The good news? It’s very manageable. Millie takes Desmopressin, a synthetic hormone that replaces what her body is missing. Within just hours of starting it, she stopped drinking excessively and the accidents resolved. Her medication costs about $17 per month, and it makes a world of difference for her quality of life. Now that she feels good, Millie is thriving. She is: ✔ House trained (with her medication) ✔ Playful and fun ✔ Incredibly affectionate ✔ A certified velcro dog Millie is looking for a home that will embrace her closeness, enjoy her playful spirit, and keep her on her simple, affordable medication so she can continue feeling her best. If you’re looking for a tiny shadow with a big personality, a dog who will keep you company every second of the day, and a built-in cuddle buddy who never says no… Millie is ready to claim her spot in your lap (and your life). Fair warning: once she picks you, you’re hers. Millie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped. If you’d like to meet Millie, please fill out an adoption application at www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about Millie you can email rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657. Adopters must live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only. Adoption Fee: $300
