—

– Wants to be best friends with everyone she meets and likes to be petted once she feels comfortable

– Likes chasing balls and will also keep your yard free of rabbits

– Her foster family has affectionately nicknamed her “Ferret” because she’s long and skinny and jumps in their laps like a ferret

– Knows sit and likes treats

– Has been doing pretty well with potty training, although her foster family said she may have accidents if she’s not let out at bedtime

– Used to sleeping in her crate at night and does well in her crate when her foster family is away

– Can be a little nervous on car rides

– Has been known to jump 6-foot fences, so please plan on supervising her or having her on a leash when outdoors to keep her safe and secure

– Has lived with kids in her foster home

– Has done well with other dogs in her foster home and likes to play, but will also let them know with a grumble when she’s done playing; may be unsure of some dogs (dog intro recommended)

– Needs a home with no cats or small animals – she’s just too interested in chasing them

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.
