Story

- Loves people and companionship - Prefers to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - Tends to avoid other dogs; needs to be the only dog in his new home- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Has been diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, known as EPI (more info at ARL) - All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for 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, and not breed label Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 90 Age: 4yrs 8mths 0wks

House-trained,

Story

Milo is a stunning 6-year-old German Shepherd with a orange coat and a classic black saddle. True to his breed, Milo lives by the German Shepherd code: ball is life, stick is god, and water is legend. He’s especially proud of his impressive soccer skills — you’ll often find him showing off his fancy footwork with a ball! When meeting new people, Milo can be cautious and fearful. His big bark might seem intimidating at first, but once he learns to trust you, he’ll show his true nature — a loyal, affectionate, and deeply devoted companion. Milo thrives with a confident, experienced handler who can offer consistent leadership and structure. With the right person, he’ll not only be your best friend but also inspire you to be your best self. Milo would do best in a home where he’s the only pet, allowing him to receive the love, attention, and guidance he deserves.

Story

Weston is an adorable older man with a lot of life left to live. Weston is a big shepherd and is right now 88# and still underweight! This sweetheart is very social and confident and does well around other dogs publicly and is not at all reactive. He does have some resource guarding issues though we are working on and so at this point it would be safest to not adopt him out to a home with other dogs or small children unless the owner is well versed in behavior modification and has breed experience. He has lived in a home with both but we don't want to put anyone at risk. Weston does have a small degree of gastrointestinal disease that he gets vitamin B12 injections and a special food to manage. We are open to and would love to find Weston a "forever foster" where someone gives Weston a forever home but we manage his medical needs. The qualifications for this kind of home be that you are willing to transport him to our vets in Cedar Falls, IA or Waverly, IA.
