Story
- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity and mental challenges to keep their bodies and brains busy- Enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style- Smart girl knows sit and down- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- Needs a home with no cats - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended) 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: Liver Secondary Color: White Weight: 69 Age: 3yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
I'm Whimzee, a spirited 4-year-old Pointer mix with a white and black coat and a heart full of adventure! 🐕 I'm crate trained and love the company of other dogs, making me a great fit for active households. I thrive on movement and outdoor fun — I need a family ready to keep up with my energy and give me plenty of exercise. I do best with older children who can match my playful, affectionate nature. If you're looking for an adventurous companion who's friendly and ready for action, let's meet! 🏃‍♀️💕 Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet him, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- The cuddliest, sweetest boy with a heart of absolute gold; he only wants to be with people! - Has been living with school-age children in his foster home and loves them dearly; he'd be a great family addition - His dog siblings in his foster have become his (reluctant) besties; this goofy boy would love having canine companions in his next home! - Potty training has been essentially 100% in his foster home; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule - Does fairly well in his crate, though will have some things to say about it! Much prefers to spend overnights curled up next to you in bed Arrived with a serious injury to his front leg, which required amputation, but life as a tripod hasn't slowed him down in the slightest, and he handles zoomies, stairs, and everyday activities with ease 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.

Story
He is hoping his nose will lead him to a place where he can rest his little head. August loves to go on walks but has a hard time finding motivation to leave your side to actually enjoy the walk.We are working on potty training and he has been very receptive!He enjoys playing with the kids and other dogs here, so we think he would be happy in a home with friends to hang out with.Put in an application on August!!

Story
Amelia is a 6-year-old Pointer mix who loves being active and exploring nature. She is looking for a new home because future military obligations will be taking me away from home for extensive periods of time. She needs a stable home able to care for her. Amelia is:• Friendly with other dogs• House trained and leash trained• Spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated• A loving companion who enjoys snuggling on the couch• Intelligent with a very "human-like" personalityShe thrives as a free-roamer in the home and doesn't need to be kenneled, as she experiences anxiety when confined. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can be territorial over her toys and bones. She is a wonderful hiking companion who loves to run and smell everything outdoors, though she is surprisingly terrified of vacuums, plastic bags, and treadmills!

Story
Hi, I`m Dallas, and I have a very important question.Do you throw? Because I fetch. And unlike some dogs, I actually understand how this game works. You throw the ball. I chase the ball. I bring the ball back. You throw it again. It`s a beautiful system, really.I also know how to sit, wait nicely for treats, and respond when someone redirects me. I`ve even been known to get a little enthusiastic about snacks, but who hasn`t?There`s more to me than my impressive ball-retrieval résumé, though. I`m a genuinely sweet boy who loves affection just as much as playtime. I`ll happily take a break from chasing my beloved ball to enjoy some pets and scratches. I like spending time with my people, whether we`re playing together or simply enjoying each other`s company.Now, I do have a few opinions about how things should work.For starters, I`m not a fan of other dogs getting in my business. I can become reactive when I see them around the shelter or while we`re walking, so I`m going to need someone who understands that keeping a comfortable distance and helping me focus on something else is much better than forcing introductions.Which is why I need a strong owner cause I really like walks! I`m not particularly interested in dragging you down the sidewalk or training for a half marathon. I`d much rather take my time, investigate an interesting patch of grass, sniff something suspicious, and then sniff it again just to be sure.Some dogs want a marathon. I want a sniffari. There`s a whole world of smells out there, and I intend to read every single one of them.I think that`s what makes me such an interesting combination. I`m playful, affectionate, and eager to spend time with people, but I also need someone who respects that I have boundaries. I don`t need someone who expects me to be perfect. I need someone willing to understand me.I`m Dallas. You bring the love, the patience, and a tennis ball. I`ll bring the ball back, and we`ll figure out the rest together.
