Pet Details
Atalanta
Animal ID: 281886 |
![]() |
– Goofy pup who loves toys – she’s very entertaining! – May prefer to explore and do her own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once she’s in a home environment and has had time to decompress – Does best with a harness on walks – Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for her (mature home recommended) – Can be socially awkward and tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro required) 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. – Has been diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia in one hip (more info at ARL) 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. |
