Story
Hi! I’m Milo 🐾 I’m a 7-week-old, 7-pound Boxer mix with a big heart packed into a tiny, wiggly body. I’m still learning about the world, but so far my favorite things are tummy rubs, nap time after play time, and following my people everywhere (even when they go to the bathroom). I have the cutest puppy clumsiness, floppy ears that listen selectively, and a tail that wags when I’m happy—which is basically always. I’m working hard on being a good boy and will grow up to be a loyal, loving best friend who’s always ready for cuddles and adventures. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful pup to grow up with your family and steal your heart forever, I think we might be a perfect match. 💙 Love,
Milo 🐶✨

Story
- Loves people and companionship - Smart boy who knows sit- Enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style- Does well on a leash - Tends to be an introvert around other dogs and may prefer one-on-one interactions or smaller groups of dog friends; may not be comfortable at dog parks or at large, dog-friendly events (dog intro recommended) - Shy pup who may need extra time to warm up to new people and things; will likely open up in a home environment with patience and time and may prefer a calm, quiet home- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended) - Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home 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.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: Brown Weight: 75.4 Age: 1yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
- A real people dog who just wants to love and be loved; spent some time in a foster home and was his family's little shadow- Loves butt scratches, belly rubs, and comfy places to chill; LOVES a good nap and sleeps in all sorts of silly positions - Can be a total goofball when in a playful mood and loves to run around with you or his toys, but when he's done he will plop down for a nice nap or some cuddle time - Especially enjoys playing with stuffies and Kongs - Will sometimes get excited when meeting new people and make a grumbly noise to signal that he wants some attention - Loves playing in the yard and loves walks; his foster family said when he was in a curious mood he would pull a bit, but other than that did a great job walking, harness or not - he even went on a short run with a family member while in his foster home- Knows sit, stay, shake, down and come and is VERY treat-motivated; could probably learn anything with treats as rewards- Overall has a good handle on potty training; had a couple accidents in his foster home, but that's not unusual for any dog when adjusting to a new setting or schedule, so please plan to give him time to acclimate- When his foster family left, he would just relax on the couch or his bed and wait for them to come back - Has done great in the car and just lays down or sticks his head out the window - Overall has been very uncomfortable around other dogs in the shelter environment and has struggled with direct interaction and gone out of his way to avoid other dogs; he did meet a shy small dog while in his foster home, and they both sniffed and then ignored each other, but dogs who want to interact make him incredibly uncomfortable; to set him up for success, he needs to be the only dog in his new home, and he is likely not a candidate for places like dog parks or dog-friendly events - Needs a home with no cats or small animals - Young, busy or active kids can be too much for him, so he's looking for a teens-and-up home right now - Has a chronic ear condition that may require medication or monitoring in the future; may also have allergies (more info at ARL) This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program.
