Story

- Loves playing fetch and going on walks, does great on a leash - Sleeps through the night in his dog bed and is good at staying in his kennel during the day when his people are at work - Appears to be potty trained and has not had any accidents in his foster home, just remember that any dog may take time to adjust to a new schedule and routine - Plays wonderfully with other dogs in his foster home - Has gotten along well with kids 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.

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hello! I'm Archer and I'm hoping to find a forever home. I love to run around with other dogs, young or old, and have no problem keeping up with them even though I am on the older side. I love to voice my opinions with an "awoo" when I am happy and often show my joy with a sweet smile. I don't always understand kids, and would most likely prefer a home with older children over 12. I know how to sit, shake and roll over.... Aren't I smart?! I know how to walk pretty well on the leash and I love kisses and hugs. Come meet me today!

Story

The first thing you need to know about Geordi is that she is not an immediately friendly dog. It takes at least half hour of treats and praise and working slowly and carefully to get her to tolerate a stranger touching her. She has never snapped at anyone (would prefer to move away from something scary), but please never corner a scared animal. Once you earn her trust, she will give you her whole heart and soul! Cuddly, friendly, affectionate, amazing recall! 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 They wouldn't let me write a long post, so I made a page with Google Docs. Copy and paste this link into your browser.

Story

When we got him, we were told he might have arthritis in his hind leg. We have kinda noticed that, but it could be worse then that. We haven't had a chance to get him looked at or anything since we've been moving. He runs on it, jumps on it and uses it. There are times when he limps, but he still uses his leg. He's very loving and loves cuddles. Very much loves attention! He'll bark at new people, but thats it. He doesn't bite or is aggressive.

Story

HOW TO ADOPT: This dog is available for adoption by appointment. To schedule a time to meet this dog, please email Cassandra at cjohnson@arl-iowa.org.---- Fun, smart youngster with a lot of energy and enthusiasm but also good focus when he's feeling motivated - Really loves people and will hop right into your lap and lay there while you pet him; can't get enough affection and human contact - Curious and nosy - loves to sniff around and be part of the action; would enjoy activities that will exercise his busy body and mind - Knows sit and down and may know more; very food-motivated and would probably be a lot of fun to train - Interested in toys, and once he settles into a home we think he'll love playing with them - A little bouncy when he's seeking attention, but that will likely resolve with training and time to decompress in a home; can also be a bit chaotic on a leash right now, so please plan on taking time to work with him on that as well - May do best in a more mature home - Has a linebacker-type play style with other dogs and sometimes can be awkward in his interactions; may be a bit much for some dogs but could be a lot of fun for others (dog intro recommended) 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. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 49 Age: 1yrs 6mths 2wks
