Additional Details

HOW TO ADOPT: This pet is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this pet, please email apurvis@arl-iowa.org.

– Tends to become very close with his favorite people; will hop in your lap for cuddles once he’s comfortable with you

– Loves cheese, that’s his favorite way to make friends!

– Would greatly benefit from a patient, mature home to help him build relationships and gain confidence

– He knows sit and would be fun to work on skills with

– Still has a lot of bouncy puppy energy, and would benefit from continued work on his manners

– Some dogs may not appreciate his play style and energy, he will need a dog intro prior to going home with other dogs, however, a confident dog friend may help him come out of his shell a bit in a 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.
