Three-year-old Husky mix, active and playful, loves walks and outdoor time.Knows basic commands like sit and down and is fully house-trained. He bonds closely with his people and does well once he trusts you, but he can be reactive with strangers and will need a calm, experienced home that can give him structure, patience, and a safe environment.”

Story
Duke had a bit of a rough start to life. We aren’t sure the amount of trauma he experienced but we know he is resilient and has a bright future with the right person/family. Dukes past has shown itself with some territorial issues with our other animals which is the reason behind our decision to re-home. He would do best in a home with no other pets that he has to share space with. He is house and kennel trained and a very smart little guy that is pure muscle. He loves playing fetch, tug, and has become quite the water dog. He would make a great working dog as he strives to please when he has direction and structure. He truly is a very sweet dog full of character and we are sure he will thrive with the right person. (We think he would be perfect for a single, adventure seeking individual that needs a loyal, cuddly friend to keep them busy!)

Story
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 4mths 2wks

Story
- 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 - Smart boy knows sit- 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 recommended) - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro recommended) Needs a teens and above home The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs.
