Additional Details

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

– Prefers to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he’s in a home environment and has had time to decompress

– Sweet boy who loves pets and treats

– Recently went on a Dog’s Day Out field trip: “So so sweet! Great with my two kids (6 and 8). Loved his tennis ball. A little nervous at first in the car, but settled down nicely and was able to rest most of the time.”

– Has had good interactions with school-age kids; may enjoy a home where any kids are more mature

– May enjoy a like-minded dog friend

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.
