My story

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

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by request. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please contact Cassandra at Cjohnson@arl-iowa.org.



---



- Young, active dog who is ready for any adventure



- Loves to put things in his mouth, so having a bunch of fun dog toys in his home would be great!



- Knows sit and beginning to learn "go to place" and down. He would love to learn more with treats as rewards and would be a rockstar in training classes!



- Could use some work on his manners - including four on the floor - so he's looking for a family who is interested in helping him with this



- Can be rowdy with other dogs (dog intro required)



- Needs a teens-and-up home right now



- Great dog for an active person or family who is looking for a sidekick to train and share their life with!



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: Black
