Story
Enzo is truly a sweet, kind, and loving dog with an amazing personality. He really is the best dog and has so much love to give! He needs a home where someone is around most of the time, as he does not like being alone. Enzo is very active and would love a home where he can run, explore, and go on daily walks or hikes. He knows basic commands but can be selective about listening. He is also a strong jumper who gets overly excited when greeting people and has knocked over children and older adults. An experienced owner who can provide consistent training, structure, exercise, and patience would be the best fit. Enzo is an incredibly loving companion who deserves a home where he can thrive and share all the love in his big heart!

Story
- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "An energetic girl full of love and a desire to share it! She's an absolute ham in public and LOVES people and interacting, even in large crowds. She looks right into people's souls, making unwavering eye contact and asking for pets. She has energy for walks and outings, but once she starts to settle and realizes she's surrounded by people who care about her and are patient, she'll zonk out and be the best cuddler." - May need extra time to warm up to new people and things; will likely open up in a home environment with patience and time and may prefer a calm, quiet home- Knows sit- Enjoys like-minded dog friends, and loves to play and hang out with them- 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: Brown Weight: 66 Age: 4yrs 4mths 0wks

Story
If you’re looking for sweet instead of rowdy, Frances is your girl. She’s the total opposite of wild and chaotic — calm, loving, and full of gentle affection. OK, she has her fun and cray cray times when she sees you!! :) Frances has truly never met a stranger and believes everyone she meets is (or should be!) her new best friend. Her favorite way to say hello? Jumping up for the sweetest hugs. 💗 She walks beautifully on a leash and is crate trained, making her an easy and well-mannered companion. Frances has been through a lot over the past six months, and she’s finally ready to start the next chapter of her life with a family of her own. Frances would love a yard to explore and kids or a dog friend to play with, but she’s just as happy being the only dog and soaking up all the love and attention for herself. She’s wonderfully flexible like that — she just wants to belong. Frances is ready to bring her sweet heart, happy hugs, and loyal companionship into a forever home. Could that be yours? Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Tinka, a charming 40-pound Catahoula and Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love. Tinka is not only intelligent but also incredibly sweet. His well-trained demeanor is a testament to his eagerness to please. Tinka's love for other dogs is boundless; he's a playful companion who brings out the best in his four-legged friends. With a gentle introduction, he can even get along famously with cats, showing his adaptable nature. But what truly sets Tinka apart is his affection for children. He adores kids and is their loyal and patient friend, always ready to share his love and wagging tail. His good heart shines through in every interaction, making him the perfect addition to any family seeking a smart, sweet, and loving companion. Tinka was with the rescue as a puppy (see cute puppy pic) and was returned after found on the streets of SA :( But he is an amazing boy, had some special obedience training with his previous family and now he can be YOUR new family member!!!
