Story
Meet Luna, a shy but incredibly sweet girl who’s ready to find a calm and loving home where she can feel safe and shine. Luna may be a little timid at first, but once she feels comfortable, she blossoms into a loyal and affectionate companion who just wants to be by your side.She gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy having a calm canine friend to help her build confidence. Luna isn’t a fan of loud noises or chaotic environments, so she’s looking for a peaceful home with a fenced-in yard where she can relax and explore at her own pace.One of Luna’s favorite things? Just being with her people. Whether it’s a quiet car ride or simply lounging around together, she’s happiest when she’s near the ones she trusts.

HOW TO ADOPT: This pet is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this pet, please email fosterinquiry@arl-iowa.org.---- Gentle and kind; likes to be covered with a blanket when it's cold and will nudge your hand for pets - Very affectionate with her people - Foster family said she has been good in the house and tends to sleep when they're not home - Loves going on walks - Likes stuffed bones - Has been calm on car rides - New environments can be a lot for her to handle, especially at first, so she's looking for a family who will be patient as she acclimates and who will continue to work with her on socialization; will also do best with supervision when outdoors until she feels comfortable - Can be unsure of new people, particularly men, and does best with patience and slow introductions - Has been doing well with potty training in her foster home but could use a little work on communicating when she needs to go outside - Does best on relaxed, slow-paced walks when it's not too busy outside; loves to sniff everything but tends to be cautious, especially around lots of different noises - Has not been around many kids while in our care, but was nervous around a school-age child she met in her foster home (mature home recommended) - Seems to really like other dogs; likes to be in their faces with lots of sniffs and kisses, which can be too much for some dogs, so slow intros with patient dogs tend to work out best - Overall a sweet soul who seems to have been through a lot; give her a few weeks to open up and she'll be a wonderful, loving companion - Tested heartworm positive and has received an initial treatment. She'll need a second treatment and then a recheck to make sure she's in the clear. All treatment phases will be completed at the ARL at no additional cost to the adopter. She will also need to be kept fairly calm until treatment is complete (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 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: Tan Weight: 63 Age: 8yrs 5mths 1wks

Story
🌼 Meet Buttercup – A Gentle Soul with a Heart Full of Love 🐾💛 True to her name, Buttercup is as sweet and soft as a spring breeze. She’s a calm, gentle girl who absolutely adores being petted and will gladly soak up your affection all day long. If you’re looking for a laid-back, loving companion to share quiet moments with, Buttercup might just be your perfect match. She did well with her kennel mate and has shown she can coexist with other animals—but she also values her space. When things get too rowdy or other animals bring a bit too much energy, she can get a little overwhelmed. A home where she can relax and feel secure, either solo or with the right mellow companion, would be ideal. She even did well during her cat test, showing she might be a good fit in a feline-friendly home—with proper introductions, of course! Buttercup is ready to blossom in a home that offers love, peace, and plenty of pets. If you’re looking for a calm companion with a heart as golden as her name, come meet this sweet girl today! 🐶🌸 If you are interested in adopting this pup, please fill out an application, using the link below. Please specify which dog you are interested in. Applications without a specific dog, or otherwise incomplete, will not be considered. Adoption Fee is $225. Includes spay/neuter, current vaccines, and microchipping. https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ITAV/Dog

Good with dogs,
Story
Opal is a loving girl who came to us as a stray, and although she may be a bit wary of new people at first, it doesn't take long for her to warm up and show you just how affectionate she can be. Once she bonds, Opal becomes a total love bug who just wants to be close to her humans! Opal loves running around outside and having fun in the yard, but she’s developed quite the escape artist skills, so she’ll need a secure, fenced yard to keep her safe and entertained. A large yard where she can stretch her legs would be ideal for this active girl. Although Opal came to us with another dog, she’s fairly independent and would need a meet and greet to ensure she’s a good fit with other dogs in the home. She enjoys the company of others but also loves her alone time. Opal’s adoption fee covers her vaccines, microchip, and spay, so she’s all set to start her new life with you! If you’re looking for a sweet, independent dog who enjoys a good run and is ready to be your loyal companion, Opal might be the one for you. Come meet her today – she’s ready to find her forever home!
