Arrow - Adoption Pending!

Arrow is a sweet, affectionate boy who settles in quickly and loves being near his people. He’s what we’d call a “velcro dog” once he knows you—happy to follow you around, curl up on the couch, and soak up attention (bonus: he’s a fan of relaxing TV nights).<br/><br/>He has a nice balance of energy. He enjoys walks and occasional zoomies, but they’re short-lived and he’s mindful of his surroundings. Most of the time, he’s perfectly content lounging and snuggling.<br/><br/>Training & Behavior<br/><br/>Arrow is eager to please and very food-motivated, which makes training a great opportunity to continue building on what he already knows. He currently knows “sit” and has a solid foundation to grow from.<br/><br/>Recall: Arrow has good recall overall, especially with praise and rewards. Like any dog, it’s not 100% foolproof, so a secure area or long line is recommended.<br/>Leash skills: Walks well on leash but may pull if he catches an interesting scent. He’s responsive and can be redirected easily.<br/>House training: When home, Arrow clearly signals when he needs to go out by going to the door and pawing.<br/>Crate/alone time: He has had accidents when left alone, likely related to some separation anxiety. This is something his future family should be prepared to continue working on.<br/><br/>Important: Fencing<br/><br/>Arrow has shown that he can climb a chain link fence, especially if he’s trying to get to his people. He is not trying to run off—he wants to be with you—but this means a standard chain link fence is not considered secure for him. A privacy fence or supervised outdoor time is strongly recommended.<br/><br/>In the Home<br/><br/>Arrow has done well being loose in the home while people are around. He may help himself to “goodies” if they’re left within reach, so a little management goes a long way.<br/><br/>Other Pets & Kids<br/><br/>Dogs: He’s done well meeting other dogs and shows great social awareness. He respects boundaries and backs off appropriately when another dog asks for space.<br/>Kids: He hasn’t been directly tested with small children yet, but his calmer demeanor suggests he may do well. As always, proper introductions and supervision are key.<br/><br/>Personality<br/><br/>Arrow is a loving, easygoing companion who wants to be part of your day-to-day life. He’s affectionate, observant, and adjusts well to the energy around him—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood or a quiet night on the couch.<br/><br/>Arrow is being fostered near Red Oak, Iowa.
