Casper's Story

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.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>- A scruffy goofball who loves to play! ADORES tennis balls - bonus if they squeak! And really loves any toy that makes noise - in his foster home he has a crinkly sushi roll he is obsessed with <br/><br/>- Very nosy - needs and wants to be involved no matter what the activity is. Loading the dishwasher? Heck, yes. Doing laundry? He'll help you fold. Girls night? He'll get his blankie! <br/><br/>- Has zero stranger danger - if it has a heartbeat it's a new friend opportunity; met his foster mom's senior citizen parents and was gentle but did want to sit in their laps<br/><br/>- Would love a home with a fenced yard where he can get all his wiggles out; he's a BIG fan of snow!<br/><br/>- Has been potty trained in his foster home; just remember that any dog may need time to get used to a new schedule<br/><br/>- Is used to going in his crate when his foster family goes to work and will go in with treats<br/><br/>- Overall does well on a leash but may pull when he really wants to go a certain way, so a harness is great for him <br/><br/>- Knows sit and come and is very treat-motivated <br/><br/>- AWESOME in the car and will lay down in the back seat and take a nap<br/><br/>- Sometimes prefers the cardboard boxes his toys come in to the actual toys <br/><br/>- Likes to watch TV and is a BIG fan of Michael B. Jordan in "Sinners" <br/><br/>- Very, very sweet and knows when his foster family has had a hard day and needs extra cuddles<br/><br/>- Recently met a dog friend he had a blast with in his foster home - they ran and played in the yard, wrestled on the couch and had a grand time; may love having a dog friend to play with in his new home <br/><br/>- Was a bit much for a preschool-age child he met in his foster home - he was just so excited! Will do best with kids who are old enough to enjoy his happy energy and be OK if he sometimes forgets to watch out for those around him<br/><br/>- Hasn't bothered any of the plants in his foster home <br/><br/>- A really unique dog with fabulous whiskers, an adorable underbite and a loud snore - he'll be a great friend for a lucky family! <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)<br/><br/>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: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 72lbs Age: 2yrs 5mths 2wks Animal has been Neutered
