– May need extra time to warm up to new people and things; will likely open up in a home environment with patience and time and may prefer a calm, quiet home

– Spent time in a foster home and was potty trained there, but may need help getting into a routine, so taking her outside frequently in the beginning will be best

– Does best with a harness on walks

– Nervous getting in and out of the car right now and will need assistance until she becomes more comfortable

– Had some great interactions with kids in her foster home and was very respectful and loved to share her toys with them

– Can be socially awkward with other dogs; needs to be the only dog in her home right now and may not be ideal for dog parks or doggy daycare situations

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.

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.
