– Playful boy with lots of fun energy

– Giant cuddlebug, thinks it’s his right to be as close as possible to you at all times

– Total bed hog and insists he needs multiple pillows for a good night’s rest

– Loves to learn and has great focus – especially if you have treats, takes treats gently and catches them well – so would be a lot of fun to train

– Loves going on walks and does best with a harness

– Recently went on a Dog’s Day Out field trip and had a great time with his human companions: “Apollo was such a joy with me on Dog’s Day Out! He’s incredibly sweet, energetic, and loves exploring. He can get a little jumpy when he’s excited, so a home without small kids might be best, but he is very trainable and super treat-motivated. With a little consistency, he’ll thrive!”

– Foster family says he does well in his crate when home alone

– Has been making great progress on potty training in his foster home, will just need some help from his new family to get to 100%

– Tends to avoid other dogs and will need to be the only dog in his new home

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.
