Story
He’s a goofy, lovable 60-pound ham who charges into every day with confidence, charm, and just the right amount of chaos. He may be blind, but you’d never know it. Balin is looking for a home without small dogs or cats—he’s got a BIG personality and sometimes forgets just how big he is. He might be able to live with another dog, but it would need to be a calm, very patient buddy who can handle his enthusiastic greetings. Slow, structured introductions are a must.

Story
- Wiggly, bouncy girl who LOVES toy balls and gets very excited to play with them! - Likes chews and loves to give kisses - Knows sit - Walks best with a harness - Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs, and will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro recommended) 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: Grey Weight: 49 Age: 2yrs 1mths 0wks

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
- Very playful and full of energy; loves playing with toys - Likes people and will come right up and ask you for pets - Often prefers to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - Knows sit and loves treats - Was crate-trained and mostly potty trained in his previous home, although he would have accidents sometimes - Has lived with teenagers but young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him; would benefit from a more mature home where all family members are old enough to work with him on confidence-building - Has spent time in dog play groups here at the shelter and will wrestle and play chase; overall has gotten along well with the other dogs and has listened to their signals - May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; may do best with a more relaxed, low-key dog friend and would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended) 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.
