Jorel's Story

❤️Sometimes love is right in front of you ... and you just miss the connection. This dog is part of our Missed Connections club - a group of our most patient pups who've been waiting longer than others to find their soulmate. Take a closer look - they could be your perfect match! Adoption fee: $45. A lifetime of love: Priceless.❤️<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>- Wiggly boy who likes people and will come up and say hi; loves pets and will lean in for them <br/><br/>- Loves rummaging through our toy bin and picking out his toys - he's happiest carrying around a toy in his mouth and would love a family who will want to play with him <br/><br/>- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "Of the 11 dogs I have taken out, he was by far the snuggliest. He loved being petted and snuggling up in the car, loved his treats, and also loved getting his pup cup! He was the best behaved dog in the car - sat quietly looking out the window or just laid down. At the beginning of the walk he was excited and pulled a bit, but 20 minutes in, he settled down and strolled at a very leisurely pace. I can't imagine what he is still doing at the ARL. He's a very loving, sweet dog."<br/><br/>- Likes to chill out and lay around once he's used up his energy <br/><br/>- Knows sit and likes treats<br/><br/>- Does best with a harness on walks and loves spending time outside <br/><br/>- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him; may benefit from a more mature home<br/><br/>- Can be socially awkward with other dogs (dog intro recommended) <br/><br/>- May have allergies (more info at ARL) <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/>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.
