Story

Meet Riley! He's a 2 year old chihuahua/terrier mix. He weighs 13 pounds. He gets along with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. He is, however, very timid. He is going to take work. He came from a hoarding situation and does not trust people. He's gotten better since he's been with us but is still shy. He's not a biter, just a runner. He will be a great dog for the right person. His adoption fee is $175.00. Please call us at 641-828-7387 for more information or to make an appointment to meet him. April 26, 2024, 2:32 pm

Story

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by request. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please contact Alex at apurvis@arl-iowa.org. ---- Great dog with tons of potential who is looking for a special family who will continue working with him to help him gain confidence and learn that life is full of great things. If you're up to the challenge, read on! - Came from an environment where he did not get the normal socialization that most puppies get, so the world is still a very scary place for him - Has come a long way in the weeks we have been working with him, and will take treats from people he has a relationship with, and will goofily play with toys - We are requiring a fenced yard to ensure he stays safe and secure as he has had no experience with being on leash - Has worked with our behavior team on being OK with being touched, and has solicited some attention; we've seen lots of progress, but things such as petting from strangers, leashing up, and anything a "normal" dog would like can still be quite scary for him, so he will need continued help over time from his new family - Leaving interactions 100% up to him and using treats as rewards are great ways to gain him trust; he LOVES having the choice to interact and have his space - Has shown interest in other dogs and would really benefit from a calm, confident dog friend in his new home so he can follow their lead and build confidence by watching them navigate daily life - Needs a teens-and-up home right now, as young children are way too much for him. A mature, structured home would be perfect! - Since he's still learning to live with people, vet visits will have to be approached differently, so it will be important to talk with your veterinarian about ways to help him be most comfortable - Looking for a predictable home with very patient people who understand that it will take him not days but weeks to become completely comfortable. If you're willing to give him that time, you'll see, just as we have, that he is worth the wait! It will be incredibly rewarding to watch him become more trusting every day! 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: Tan Weight: 9.6 Age: 0yrs 11mths 3wks
