- LOVES attention and being close to his people; will fall asleep in your lap and stay there for hours if you let him
- Loves going on walks and does best with a harness
- Total goofball who loves to zoom around the house and playing with tennis balls and plush toys
- Likes to play with his people by being chased
- Likes watching TV, especially if there are dogs on the screen
- Will sleep or play with his toys when left alone - his favorite is his teddy bear KONG
- Likes roaming around in the yard and would probably enjoy a home with a fenced in yard
- Loves to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats - so would be a lot of fun to train
- Already knows sit and shake and is working on learning "stand up" in his foster home
- Unsure about jumping onto furniture, but loves lounging in his dog bed
- Can be nervous getting in and out of the car but will happily jump in for a treat and does great on the ride once he's in; may want to sit in your lap for the ride
- Tends to be an introvert around other dogs and may prefer one-on-one interactions or smaller groups of dog friends; may not be comfortable at dog parks or at large, dog-friendly events (dog intro recommended)
This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program. If you're interested in fostering to adopt, please reach out to fosterinquiry@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.
