Story

- Very good boy who loves lots of pets! - Knows sit and will happily show you for treats - Does well on a leash - 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 - Needs to be the only dogAll 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.

LANDO

Pointer/American Bulldog

Male, 9 mos

Ames, IA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

My name is Lando and I am a white & tan pointer/hound. I am a neutered male and I am 10 months old. I am at the shelter because I was found as a stray on 04/12/2026. I am potty trained. I am a medium energy dog and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. The shelter staff is not sure if I am used to being crated during the day. The shelter staff are still learning how I walk on a leash. I would do well with simple obedience training to help us bond and for us to learn how to communicate with each other. I do not have a history of trying to escape the home or yard. I would like a standard height fence to help keep me inside the yard. I can be good with women, men, and children. I can be good with other dogs and I can be good with cats.

Story

Dottie is a lively, almost 4-year-old English Pointer who’s finally getting the fresh start she deserves. She was originally trained for hunting, but when she turned out to be sensitive to gunfire, she was set aside. Much of her early life was spent in a kennel with little room to roam, but those days are now behind her. Since entering foster care, Dottie has been discovering the pleasures of home life. Like a typical Pointer, she thrives on running, sniffing, and exploring. She does best with about an hour of exercise each day, ideally split into shorter sessions. Whether she’s chasing a ball or playing with her toys, she knows how to keep herself entertained. Dottie is friendly and social—she gets along well with other dogs, is good with kids, and hasn’t shown much interest in cats. However, her strong prey drive means she’ll need supervision outdoors so she doesn’t wander off following an interesting scent. She already knows “come” and enjoys games like fetch, making her a great fit for an active household. She’s still adjusting to life indoors in her foster home, as this is her first time in a true home setting. She’s learning what belongs to her and that countertops aren’t for exploring. House training is coming along nicely, with only occasional accidents as she settles in. She’s also very comfortable in a crate and will even tuck herself in when she’s ready to rest. While the transition initially caused some weight loss, she’s now eating three meals a day and steadily gaining it back. Dottie would do best in an active, outdoorsy home—especially one familiar with hunting or pointing breeds. With consistency, patience, and plenty of chances to run and play, she’s sure to become a wonderful companion.
