HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet him, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- Can be shy and unsure of new situations at first, but is a sweet, well-mannered lady once she opens up! - Loves attention from her people and likes to stick near people she knows in new situations; likes when you reassure her with kind words and head pats - Foster family says she walks nicely on a leash and has been catching onto potty training quickly - LOVES pup cups and other treats - Foster family says she prefers to have her food softened with a little water - Has been working on crate training in her foster home and settles well in her crate after a little time - Does well on car rides, just needs a little help getting in the car - 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 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: Gold Weight: 65.8 Age: 7yrs 4mths 0wks

2/26/26- Teddy Update! Teddy is currently in foster care in the Des Moines metro area. He is settling in and getting more comfortable in his foster home. ​From his foster: ​🐾He’s such a sweet boy and super silly.​ He loves to run in the yard, flips his toys around, and hops on them. It’s super cute! 🐾We are working on his resource guarding. Clint​ at Knox Canine Training had some really great ideas, and Teddy has already made good progress with him! ​ He’s a smart boy, so I think working ​more on his guarding should be pretty easy! 🐾Next up is nose touch and the word “here”, to work on recall. **** Meet Teddy! Teddy is a 3-year-old full English cream retriever weighing about 65lbs. Teddy: 🦴 Is a silly, happy boy, who loves playing fetch and tug of war and rolling on the floor with his toys. He loves running outside in the yard and exploring, no matter the weather. He’s fast! 🦴 Has good manners – he’s house trained and crate trained. He adapts to your routine quickly - he knows when it’s time to leave for work and goes right in his kennel without a command. 🦴 Is very well trained and knows many commands - sit, down, leave it, and waits for the “free” command before eating or getting treats/bones. Teddy needs: 🦴 An only dog home, as he’s food possessive and exhibits resource guarding with toys and bones. 🦴A family that understands his possessiveness and takes it seriously, not only today but down the road. 🦴A fenced yard. He’s fast and could be a runner until he’s settled. 🦴 A home with older and more dog-savvy kids (that can recognize when he needs space). 🦴No cats Teddy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find his perfect family!

Gilbert is his confidence boost, his safety blanket, his person in dog form. 🐶❤️🐶 They are a bonded pair who truly deserve a calm, patient home that will give them the time they need to feel safe and loved. And in return? You’ll receive a lifetime of loyalty, companionship, and gentle love. If you’ve been thinking about adopting not one—but TWO—amazing dogs who just want to belong… Arnold & Gilbert are your guys. Local adoption fee is $350 ( in TX, together ❤️) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area- together)
