Story

Titus is a 7 year old brindle pit, he’s been in the same home since he was 6 weeks old. He is a wonderful dog with a fantastic personality. He is a happy and loyal companion and loves to cuddle! He is fully housebroken, so no worries there. Titus has a hard time adjusting to new circumstances, he has anxiety when people come to the house to visit and he is curious and overly cautious if the visitors are young children. We have a very active household with people often coming and going so we would like to find Titus a more quiet home. If you want a fun loving, and loyal dog, and you have a quiet life without small children, Titus is the dog you want! He has so much love to give but would be best fit with a couple that has the time to work with him on being around children.

Story

- Happy boy who likes to interact but also loves doing his own thing and sniffing all the smells; will likely open up in a home environment once he's had time to decompress - Likes to say hi to everyone he meets and see if anyone is hiding treats anywhere! - Enjoys playing with toys and loves to have fun - Knows sit, shake, and down; will sit for treats without being asked- Loves to learn and has great focus, so would be a lot of fun to teach even more skills - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him, so he'll be most comfortable in a mature home - Can struggle to interact appropriately with other dogs and may not be interested in having other dog friends; needs to be the only dog in his new home 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.

Story

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email ARL-Adoption@arl-iowa.org.---- Happy, handsome, playful pup who loves his daily routines - Some of his favorite things are Nylabone antlers, hard rubber bones, walks in nice weather, and naps on the couch - Always happy to see his people and has the best wiggle-butt dance - At bedtime, likes to do some quiet chewing on his toys before snuggling right up against his foster family all night - often under the covers; he's the best snuggler and a sweet, loving boy! - Still a pup with a fair amount of energy, and loves discovering new things to smell and see on walks - Takes his job as the personal household paper shredder very seriously, so adopters will need to keep paper, cardboard or similar objects out of reach or monitor this guy when he's around them - Has been fully housetrained and crate-trained in his foster home; not the biggest fan of his crate but does OK - just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule - Still learning about the world and sometimes needs reassurance in unfamiliar surroundings; initially wasn't a fan of car rides but his foster family said is beginning to enjoy them now and understand that they can take him to fun places! - While he enjoys being around kids, their quick movements and sudden loud noises can stress him out, so he'll do best in a home where any kids are older and more mature- Can become overly excited at times and forget his mouth manners when his world gets busy; his foster family said calm environments are ideal for him, and having him sit for treats is a great way to redirect him when he does get overstimulated - he's smart, eager to please and a quick learner, so engaging his brain is great! - Arrived with a previous injury to his leg and had FHO surgery at the ARL; has healed well and will even do some hilarious zoomies now but may still need to be watched for fatigue in that leg and may develop arthritis in the future (more info at ARL) - Really great boy whose personality shines when he feels safe and secure; will be a wonderful friend for a lucky family!

Story

- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train - Shy pup who 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- Looking for a teens-and-up home right now - 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 recommended) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

Story

- Happy, gentle, curious dog who can be shy at first and may need time to warm up to new people and things; a quieter lifestyle might suit him best - Once he is comfortable with you he loves chest rubs and will lean into you or tap you for pets - Loves balls, especially tennis balls! - Enjoyed a Dog's Day Out field trip recently and did great in the car and on leash walks - Very treat-motivated, and food is a great way to bond with him - Knows sit, shake, down, stay and bed - he's very smart! - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him, but he has done well with calm teenagers; may be happiest in a more mature home - Previous family said he did very well with cats - 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) - Previous family said he was not a fan of loud noises, including loud stereo systems in cars, and that fast movements can also make him nervous The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.

Story

- Happy to be around his people and love on them, but also happy to entertain himself and check in every once in a while for pets and cuddles - Will run around with his toy like a gazelle - a hilarious bouncy player who will keep you laughing - When he's gallivanting around and playing by himself, he'll come over to show off his toy (though it's only for you to look at) - Enjoys hanging around his people and getting scratches - Especially loves booty scratches and will wiggle and prance in place with his back legs because it feels so good!- Very food motivated and already knows sit - Has been in the shelter for a little while - we have no idea why!! - so he's looking for a family who will give him extra time to settle in and decompress once he gets home if he needs that - Has participated in a play groups here at the shelter with dogs of a similar play style and has done well, but his play style may be a bit outside of some dogs' comfort level (dog intro recommended) The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.
