Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This animal is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this animal, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- Total sweetheart who loves snuggling in bed with his people at night - Will come right up to you for attention if you sit on the floor with him - Gets the zoomies and loves leaping over steps and hopping up on furniture - Has lived with other dogs in his foster home - 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 - May not do well in a busy home with young children 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: White Weight: 8.42 Age: 7yrs 2mths 0wks

Story
Meet Grace! Grace is an approximately 7 month old Chihuahua/Terrier mix (best guess) with the sweetest personality and an adorable little face to match. She is expected to stay on the smaller side, likely under 25 pounds fully grown based on her current age and weight. Grace is a loving, friendly girl who gets along well with kids and other dogs. She is already doing wonderfully with house training and uses a doggy door like a pro. She has a gentle, easygoing personality that will make her a wonderful addition to almost any family looking for a smaller companion. Whether you are looking for a cuddle buddy, a family dog, or a little sidekick to join you on daily adventures, Grace is ready to steal your heart. Grace will be spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions prior to adoption. $250 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $550 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)

Story
Greetings, Muggles! My name is Sphynxee, but around here they sometimes call me Dobby's long-lost cousin because of my adorable oversized ears. Seriously, if you've ever wanted your very own house elf, I might be the next best thing! My foster family believes I spent most of my life outdoors, so the magical world of living inside a house has been a brand-new adventure. At first, things like couches, crates, and all the strange human routines seemed as mysterious as the Room of Requirement. But I'm a clever witch-in-training and have been learning quickly! I've already mastered my crate, walk beautifully on a leash, and absolutely love exploring every corner of my kingdom. I'm still studying advanced spells like potty training and figuring out which treasures are acceptable chew toys and which ones belong to my humans. Progress, not perfection! One thing is certain: I've fully embraced my inner princess. These days you'll find me proudly strutting through the house, ears bouncing, following my favorite people from room to room to make sure no magical adventures happen without me. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and am great with kids too. Whether it's joining the pack for playtime or soaking up attention from my humans, I'm happiest when surrounded by friends. When I first arrived, I had some hair loss that made me look a little less magical than I felt, but after treatment my beautiful coat is growing back nicely. Every day I become a little more fabulous—and trust me, I know it. So if you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion with Dobby ears, princess energy, and a heart full of love, wave your wand and say the magic words: "Sphynxee, you're home." 🏰✨🐾 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
