Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Goose is a charming 10-month-old (estimated) pup who is looking for a family to help his personality truly take flight! He was found as a local stray alongside his wingman, Maverick. Both boys arrived at the shelter quite thin and in need of some extra nutrition and care for their coats. However, this resilient young boy has made incredible strides in his recovery; as he’s already filling out and is getting ready to search for a cozy home to call his own. At just under a year old, he still has the puppy curiosity and a heart full of potential. While Goose can be a bit timid in unfamiliar settings or when meeting new faces, don't let his initial shyness fool you. Once he feels safe, he reveals a genuine zest for life and a goofy, affectionate side that will melt your heart. While we are still getting to know him, he hasn't shown negative behaviors toward other dogs, so we are excited to begin more formal introductions with other potential canine companions soon. We also plan to see how he feels about feline friends in the near future. We eventually did make contact with Goose's previous owner, who is not able to provide for him, and will not be reclaiming Goose. We also learned that Goose's father is Maverick, who is an American Bulldog and the mother is reportedly a Cane Corso Italian Mastiff. Please submit an online adoption application for Goose if you're interested in setting up an appointment time to meet him.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 22, 2026, 8:03 pm

Story

- Busy pup who loves to connect with people through play and other activities; will likely enjoy physical activity and mental challenges to keep his mind and body busy- Likes toys, including giggle balls, Nylabones and other toys he can chew - Loves to give kisses - Enjoys going on walks and does best with a harness- Doesn't always understand how big he is and could use some work on his manners right now, but he is treat-motivated and would be an excellent fit for positive reinforcement-based training classes - Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro required) - May be a bit much for young children right now and would likely do best in a home where all family members are big enough and mature enough to enjoy his energy 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.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.
