Additional Details
- Calm and easygoing; loves to relax on the couch or a soft blanket and just be wherever you are - a total couch potato
- Always super excited to see her favorite people and will wag her entire body in greeting
- Gets excited for toys and will play for a good five minutes before lying down and chilling with you
- Favorite toy is her Elmo toy; she'll hold it between her paws and even fall asleep with it
- Has spent a lot of time in our staff offices, and we've found she is a perfect coworker - quiet and calm; when we leave for a bit she just relaxes and waits for us to return
- Loves treats and takes them gently; she knows where we keep them in our offices, so if we mention "treat" she'll go over to them and wait for us to give her one!
- Got a break from the shelter in a foster home, and her family said she was perfect and did great being left out in the house when they were gone
- Appears to be very housetrained and did well both in her foster home and here in the shelter; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule
- Loves going on walks and car rides; does pull on a leash right now, so walking her with a harness is ideal
- Has done great with children, including very young ones; very gentle and loves giving kisses
- Very uncomfortable interacting with other dogs and needs to be the only dog in her home; dog parks, dog-friendly events and other places with lots of dogs will also likely be too much for her
- Needs a home with no 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.
