HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet him, please email meetme@arl-iowa.org. --- - Sweet, energetic, happy-go-lucky guy - LOVES chest and belly rubs and will complain if you stop petting him! - Bonded quickly with his foster dad and seeks him out for love - You can't help but fall in love with his scruffy gremlin face and underbite - Walks pretty well with a leash and harness - Has been potty trained in his foster home with only a few accidents at first; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new routine - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Can be an introvert around some dogs, but enjoys like-minded dog friends and really wants to play; the resident dog in his foster home isn't interested in him, and he has respected that dog's preferences, but he may love a playmate in his new home (dog intro recommended) - We don't know his history with cats This pet is considered to be in their senior years and may enjoy calmer activities and environments. They may also have medical or behavior needs related to their age. Click here for tips for making a comfortable life for senior pets. 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.
