Story
- Can be shy and may need extra time to warm up, but loves being with people once she feels comfortable; may be happiest in a calm, quiet home - Knows sit, shake and down and loves learning with treats- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for her (mature home recommended) - Very uncomfortable with dogs interacting with her and is quick to tell them off; needs to be the only dog in her home right now and most likely will not be comfortable at dog parks or at large, dog-friendly events 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.

We went to a park and walked to a coffee shop, where she enjoyed a pup cup and plenty of pets. We capped the day with a walk around Grays Lake, where she wanted to meet everyone that walked past us (two- and four-legged). She would be a fabulous dog for an active family.

Story
Old Yeller, is that a new trend? Old stuff made NEW?? Cause I am NOT old, although I am Yeller, a really pretty YELLER COLOR!!! :) I am a Yeller Chesapeake bay retriever/ YELLER lab mix, it is important for my new family to know about the Chesapeake bay breed. We can be very stubborn, smart and independent and I really like to be in charge, so my new family needs to be strong leaders too. I am a handsome bloke, with swirls of yellow and white all through my coat. I am very smart and very sweet. I can from a high kill shelter with no hope- Now I EXUDE hope!! And LOVE!!! I WAS heartworm positive but have already finished the treatment and am NEGATIVE and just stay on prevention for the rest of my life. I am good with other dogs, but really would be best in an only dog home, cause I want all the attention :) I LOVE MY people and I tend to take "control" of my home so have to have a couple of things... 1) STRONG leadership owner, 2) I have to have an owner who will be wiling to not let me meet everyone who visits.. I want to protect my home a little too much... and 3) I have to stay in the San Antonio/TX area so my rescue friends can keep close tabs on me and how i am doing :) I have been running and playing since I am safe, but really am a couch potato. I am a bigger boy and about 65-70#. Look me up, get my number, text or call me OR just APPLY to ADOPT ME!!! I will be waiting by the phone!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
Pancake 🥞 Hi there! I’m Pancake, a sweet, extra-large serving of puppy goodness. My coat color is a gorgeous golden and I’ve got big feetsies with adorable white socks to match. I’m still growing into all this loose skin, so chances are I’m going to be a big, beautiful girl one day. Right now, I’m busy mastering the art of being a puppy. I love wrestling with other dogs, playing with toys, eating my meals with enthusiasm, cuddling close, and taking the very best naps. When I get really excited, my fur even stands up along my back like a little ridgeback. It’s pretty cute if I do say so myself. My housebreaking is going well. I’m about 90% there and only have the occasional accident. I’m crate trained and learning to walk on a leash like a pro. With a little consistency and love, I’ll have it down in no time. I would thrive with an active family who understands that big puppies grow into big dogs with even bigger hearts. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, cuddly companion, I’m your girl. Please adopt me 💛 so I can start the best rest of my life with a furrever family! I hope that is you! Attributes: • Approximately 90% housebroken • Crate trained • Learning leash skills • Dog friendly • Big paws, big heart Pancake is Spayed, Microchipped, Up to date on vaccines and preventions. $250 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $550 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)
