Story
**Meet Doc!** Doc is a sweet and loving boy who is looking for his forever home. He loves people and has a friendly personality but can be a bit picky when it comes to his dog friends, so introductions may be necessary to ensure they get along well.While Doc seems okay with dogs, he doesn't do well with young kids or cats, so a calm and quiet home would suit him best. He's eager for a caring owner who can dedicate time to train him and help him feel comfortable in his new surroundings. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little patience and understanding, Doc might be the perfect match for you! Come meet him and see if he's the right fit for your family!🐶 Adopting a Dog from BAHS 🐶All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested before going home.Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee how a dog will do with children, other dogs, or cats. If you already have a dog, we require a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along.For everyone’s safety, your current dog must be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations before you can be approved for adoption.

Story
Buddy is a 6-year-old Labrador/Pyrenees mix looking for a loving new home. He’s a friendly, easygoing dog who enjoys walks, playing with kids, and spending time with his people. He also gets along well with other dogs.Buddy has been a great companion, but he has shown some uneasiness around our infant, so we feel it’s best to find him a home that’s a better fit for his comfort.We’re hoping to find someone who can give Buddy the safe, happy environment he deserves. Please reach out if you think you might be a good match or want to learn more.

Story
- Loves spending time with people and will do best with a family who does not leave him for long periods of time - Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "He is very adventurous and energetic. He'd do great with an active family! He's also pretty goofy, and spent a lot of time rolling around in the grass and trying to grab a bite of nearby leaves when we weren't watching. He's super affectionate and playful and does well with strangers." - Is not the biggest fan of the kennel and may need some help from his new family with that - Lived with young children in a previous home - Has done well in dog playgroups here in the shelter and would likely do well in doggy daycare - Needs a home with no cats 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. Primary Color: Black Weight: 49 Age: 3yrs 2mths 3wks

- A goofball who loves to be busy and connect with people through play, toys, and other activities - Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats! - This boy has big energy; will do best with a harness on walking adventures - 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) - Must meet any resident dogs before adoption This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program.

Story
Mickey needs more room to play and a best buddy hooman! He was born on an Arizona Native Am Reservation and roamed free. We adopted him at 5 mo. and he was a ball of polar bear love. Mickey is now turning 7 and 65 lbs of lean athleticism. He has less fluffy coat than most great pyr dogs and has never worked as a guard on a ranch, but he has always had a big yard to run and play. Now we've been forced to move to a small house and yard due to the dire illness of his owner. Mickey has female dog-mates at home but doesn't get along with male dogs when around his female sisters. Meeting new people of all ages is one of his favorite things. He loves to play ball, collect stuffy toys, and play with friends. His new owner should know this strong opinionated breed. He barks at dogs going by, but not continuing. "Heel" still needs work, but he has leash training. Sit, stay, come, down, leave-it, gentle, drop-it, all work! Mickey is available at Animal Rescue League in Des Moines.
