Story
Monty is a great name for a great dog like me ;) I have the Monty Python kind of humor... goofy and sweet! But, don't mess with my crate! That really is my only "pet: peeve!! I was found on the streets 2 years ago and was adopted as a pup... however, I became the boss in the house and didn't like anyone entering the house that I didn't know :( SO..... Back to the rescue, because they won't give up on me!! So here I am and I have really adjusted to the environment and new people meeting me and treats and lots of love. AND the crew here basically has determined that I need a family/adopters that will be in charge of the house. Someone I can trust to protect me so I don't have to!! I am vocal in my crate, so my crate needs to be away from the common areas so I can relax and not meet everyone that stops by. Once I settle into my new home I will follow your lead! I am a gorgeous boy, with caramel and milk chocolate highlights in my soft fur. I want to please my family and go on all kinds of adventures! I am awesome out and about, meeting new people and new friends :D I hope you will look into my eyes, the windows to my soul, and see the HOPE I have to find my own home again! The rescue is great because I got a second chance, but I REALLY want a home!! Local adoption only $300 (in TX)

Story
- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats! - May prefer to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a loving home environment and has had time to decompress - Knows sit and shake - good boy! - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro recommended) - Can be socially awkward around other dogs; must meet any resident dogs before adoption (dog intro recommended) 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.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.

Story
❤️Sometimes love is right in front of you ... and you just miss the connection. This dog is part of our Missed Connections club - a group of our most patient pups who've been waiting longer than others to find their soulmate. Take a closer look - they could be your perfect match! Adoption fee: $45. A lifetime of love: Priceless.❤️---HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- New people and things can be scary for her, particularly men, but she recovers pretty well if you let her take things at her own pace; she warmed up to the woman in her foster home within a couple of hours, while it took almost a week for her to be comfortable with the calm, quiet man in the home - Once she has warmed up, she is a laid-back cuddle bug who loves being near her people; recently began wagging her tail in her foster home and getting the zoomies! - Will likely open up even more once she's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - Sights and sounds may startle her if they're new, loud or scary - Knows sit, down and outside; loves treats but responds especially well to praise - Has been fully potty trained in her foster home; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine - Does well on a leash, but may pull occasionally, especially if she sees other dogs or people - Will likely do best in a quiet home with more mature family members- Has been doing very well with the dog in her foster home and likes snuggling up close to him; generally laid back with other dogs but does have some FOMO - if one dog gets a treat, she wants one at the exact same time; would probably do well with a like-minded dog friend who is not too pushy and is OK with her desire to snuggle (dog intro recommended)- Did well with cats in a previous home - Has the cutest underbite!
