- Can be shy at first, but SO sweet once he knows you! - Will lean into you with his whole body to get pets - Smart boy who knows sit, stay and down; loves treats would probably enjoy learning more skills with you - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Tends to be socially awkward with other dogs, but enjoys spending time with dogs who have a similar play style (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 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: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 71lbs Age: 5yrs 11mths 2wks Animal has been Neutered
