Additional Details

– A sweet house hippo who loves people and loves to snuggle

– Knows sit and down and is very gentle when accepting treats

– Can pull a bit on walks, so he may do best with a harness

– Can be unsure around other dogs and needs to be the only dog in his new home to set him up for success; could do OK with some dog friends after a slow introduction but may not be an ideal candidate for dog parks or dog-friendly events

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.
