Story
**Meet Doc!** Doc is a sweet and loving boy who is looking for his forever home. He loves people and has a friendly personality but can be a bit picky when it comes to his dog friends, so introductions may be necessary to ensure they get along well.While Doc seems okay with dogs, he doesn't do well with young kids or cats, so a calm and quiet home would suit him best. He's eager for a caring owner who can dedicate time to train him and help him feel comfortable in his new surroundings. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little patience and understanding, Doc might be the perfect match for you! Come meet him and see if he's the right fit for your family!🐶 Adopting a Dog from BAHS 🐶All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested before going home.Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee how a dog will do with children, other dogs, or cats. If you already have a dog, we require a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone gets along.For everyone’s safety, your current dog must be spayed or neutered and up to date on vaccinations before you can be approved for adoption.

Story
- 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 - Gentle, calm, and eager for love in environments he feels comfortable in - a very kind boy - Likes peanut butter, bully sticks, and puzzle toys - Knows sit and may know shake - Extremely uncomfortable around other dogs and needs to be the only dog in his new home right now to set him up for success; may also not be interested in having dog friends- We don't know his history with kids or cats - 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.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. Primary Color: Yellow Weight: 43.5 Age: 2yrs 1mths 0wks

Story
- Very sweet girl who will come up to new people and say hi - Likes tennis balls and other toys and can be a silly player - Will enjoy spending lots of time outside with her new family - Will likely open up more once she's in a home environment and has had time to decompress - Once settled in, she'll be a huge cuddlebug - Knows sit, does well on a leash, and is pretty treat-motivated - Can be tentative around new dogs and need some time to get acquainted with them, but would probably like a confident dog friend in her new home after a slow introduction (dog intro required) - We don't know her history with kids or cats This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program.
