HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet her, please email fosterinquiry@arl-iowa.org.---- Great dog with tons of potential who is looking for a special family who will continue working with her to help her gain confidence and learn that life is full of great things!- Came from an environment where she did not get the normal socialization most puppies get, so new people, places and things can still be scary for her- Has been making progress in her foster home and it has been wonderful to see her gradually open up; we've found she loves predictability and routine- Enjoys chewing on Nylabone-type toys and playing with stuffies and squeaky toys; also likes curling up in a comfy chair or relaxing on the porch- Has become fast friends with the dogs in her foster home and loves to play with them; really lights up around other dogs and we highly recommend that she go to a home with another friendly dog she can learn from and draw confidence from- A real follower who wants to be where everyone else is; no matter where her foster family and their dogs are she'll be there- Has struggled with non-carpeted floors, so her foster family has put down rugs for her; initially was reluctant to climb stairs or go down hallways but has become comfortable with that over time; may still need patience as she adjusts to a new home- Likes to be petted by those she knows, but is still hesitant about fast approaches and initial contact; her foster family makes a point to pet her any time they walk past her, and she has become much more comfortable - even booping them with her nose if they don't pet her right away in the morning- Needs time to get to know new people and may not want to interact initially, but her foster family has found that when they have guests over she gradually becomes comfortable with them- Arrived with no leash experience, and leashes are still very confusing and uncomfortable for her, so she will need continued help with this over time; at this point in her life she probably needs a home with a fenced yard where she can go directly out to potty without having to be leashed- Is a very easy house dog who has been perfect with potty training and has never had an accident; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine- Looking for a predictable home with very patient people who understand it will take time for her to settle in; it will be rewarding to gain her trust and watch her blossom!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 describe our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 56.1 Age: 3yrs 4mths 3wks

Story
Are you in search of a one-of-a-kind serial kisser? Well, look no further, because I, Mandy, am the dog you've been waiting for! I come with a mix of awesomeness and a charming personality that's sure to steal your heart. I can be delightfully laid-back, enjoying those calm moments, or I can transform into a bouncing ball of joy when the mood strikes. Walks and jogs? Count me in, especially if you're by my side. But here's the thing-I love playing with other dogs so much that I often choose their company over toys. Let's talk sunbathing. If your couch has that perfect spot for catching rays, you can bet I'll be there, soaking it all in. I'm a big fan of lounging, whether it's under tables, during dinner time, while you're working at your desk, or even when you're cuddled up in bed. I'm all about being close to my people, and if you choose to adopt me, I'll be all about you! I'm a sociable girl, getting along well with other dogs and kids (especially with submissive/non-dominant dogs). My crate training and potty training with a doggy door are top-notch. I'm a pro at commands like going to my crate and sitting patiently. Now, about my diet-here's the deal: I have EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), which means my pancreas doesn't produce the enzymes I need to digest food properly. Thanks to some attentive rescuers and veterinary care, we've got it all figured out. I'll need a specific diet and a pancreatic enzyme replacement supplement to keep me feeling great. Think of it as a special appetizer and entree at every meal. EPI won't slow me down, and I'm ready to trade serial kisses for a loving forever home day in and day out. So, how about it? Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Mac is a sweet boy who knows what he wants! He does love to chase and play with animals smaller than him. Due to this we suggest that he does not go home to a family that has cats or things like chickens. Squirrels watch out! This little guy can move! Mac is a ham, you can't see it in his pictures but he LOVES attention :) He is good with other dogs and happy to be a friend or he could be an only dog and BASK in the undivided attention :) He is a lazy boy and does enjoy snoozing and spending time on the couch napping but at the same time can have his moments where he is ready to go. He is housebroken and does just fine in a crate! If he sounds like the boy for you then don't wait!

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Storm is 3 years old and 65ish lbs. She is house trained and loves being in her kennel when needed. Storm does great with submissive dog friends and ignores cats. She lived with kids in the past but typical to the herding breed, tends to get more anxious with their fast movements so we're suggesting older children in the home. Storm loves her people big and just wants to be near them as much as possible. She loves to run around the yard, go on car rides or leash walks and just be with her human(s). Storm is a super sweet pup that gives excellent hugs and kisses. Her adoption fee is $250 - apply at www.foreverhomedogs.org to meet her!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.
