Additional Details

– Sweet, friendly, playful boy who loves to snuggle and give kisses

– Knows sit and shake

– Can pull on a leash – everything is just so exciting! – so may do best with a harness on walks

– Sometimes isn’t sure how to act around other dogs and can be socially awkward would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended)

– Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended)

– Arrived at the ARL with heartworms and received treatment here; will receive a free recheck at the ARL in April 2026 to make sure he’s in the clear and will need to be kept fairly calm until that time (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.
