Story
Grayson is a 6-year-old bulldog mix who came to us as a very hungry stray and has been working hard on rebuilding his trust in the world, one meal and one belly rub at a time. He’s silly, he’s expressive, and he has the comedic timing of a dog who knows exactly how to make humans laugh.Let’s talk food. Grayson will eat anything he thinks might even smell like food. Because he came in so underfed, he developed some food aggression, which has improved a lot now that he knows meals are consistent. Still, to keep everyone safe, we recommend a home without kids since we don’t know his full background and he takes mealtime very seriously.He arrived with a rough ear infection that left him with a signature move: the spontaneous head tilt. Not the “cute pose for Instagram” kind — more like a “wait… what just happened?” tilt. It’s unexpected, hilarious, and honestly incredibly adorable.Once Grayson decides you’re trustworthy, he becomes your shadow. He’ll listen, follow you around, and work for treats with Olympic-level enthusiasm. His love language is snacks — heavy on the snacks.Grayson would thrive with someone who:Understands his food boundariesHas no small childrenAppreciates a dog with quirks and characterLoves a loyal companion who tries his best every dayIf you’re looking for a dog with personality, charm, and a surprisingly sweet center, Grayson is ready to be your guy.

Story
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.- 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- Prefers to explore and do their own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once they're in a home environment and have had time to decompress - Enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs, which some dogs may not appreciate; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro required) - Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for them (mature home recommended) 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: White Weight: 80.5 Age: 1yrs 7mths 4wks
