My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is currently spending time in a foster home. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email fosterinquiry@arl-iowa.org.



---



- Likes to lay next to her people and getting lots of attention; sleeps in her foster family's room at night



- LOVES spending time in our dog park and enjoys playing with tire toys and chew toys; enjoys tug-of-war



- Absolutely loves playing fetch and would play all day long if she could!



- Loves hot dogs



- Is always excited to meet new people on walks and will ask for love from everyone she can



- Tends to think she's the one taking her people on walks; make de best with a harness to help with pulling



- Appears to be potty trained and crate trained, just remember any dog may take time to adjust to a new schedule and routine



- Rides well in the car and will jump right in when it's time for a drive



- Knows sit and shake and previous family said she is crate-trained



- Previous family said she is use to a quiet home and not a fan of loud noises



- Has lived with teenage children



- Has done well with dogs in the past but may not always want to share her toys (dog intro recommended)



- Gets very excited when she sees other dogs on walks and will try to go over to them



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. 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.
