Jorge's Story

- Sweet, silly boy who can be shy at first, but warms up quickly; once he's comfortable he loves spending time with people <br/><br/>- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "He was very shy at first, but being around him for a little bit he started to open up and he ended up being a big sweetheart. He enjoyed saying hi to people on our walk. He likes to be very close to his person when he goes for walks, and he does walk very slow and likes to stop a lot. He absolutely loved his pup cup. He loved having the window down in the car, and he loved cuddling up in my arms on the ground. He didn't seem to be a huge fan of fetch, but was more interested in my attention and being close to me. He let every single person pet him." <br/><br/>- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) <br/><br/>- May take some time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro recommended) <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.
