Story
❤️Sometimes love is right in front of you ... and you just miss the connection. This dog is part of our Missed Connections club - a group of our most patient pups who've been waiting longer than others to find their soulmate. Take a closer look - they could be your perfect match! Adoption fee: $45. A lifetime of love: Priceless.❤️---HOW TO ADOPT: This animal is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this animal, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org.---- A combination of cuddle bug and goofball; always wants to be by your side or on top of you being held like a baby- Loves all food and all toys, including tennis balls, Nylabones, stuffed toys, and Kongs filled with pumpkin or peanut butter - it all depends on his mood - Good in the car and loves sticking his head out - it's very funny watching his lips flap in the wind - Enjoys sleeping in bed with his people and wants to have his head on the pillow as if he were human - Knows sit and shake and is food-motivated- Loves going on walks and does great on a harness, with little pulling unless he sees other dogs- Has been pretty well potty trained in his foster home with few accidents; may need some help in his new home getting to 100%- Has done very well in his foster family's home with a fenced yard; may do fine with apartment-living as well, as he prefers to be indoors rather than out - When left alone, his mission is finding any food that has been left out, so putting food items in secure places will be important - Went on a Dog's Day Out field trip while in the shelter: "He was very well-behaved. He did a good job with my kids and loved going on a walk. He enjoyed standing in the creek to cool off. We had a good time hanging out with him." - Has been great meeting new people, although he may be a bit much for smaller kids - Seems to do well with most dogs, according to his foster family - May have allergies (more info at ARL)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 a 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: 69 Age: 5yrs 5mths 0wks

Story
- SUPER into treats and will perk up and wag her tail when she sees them - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness - Prefers to explore and do her own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once she's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro required) - Looking for a teens-and-up home right now The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.
