Ms Sturdy's Story

- A silly dog who will keep you laughing, whether she's rolling around, making goofy faces, or flopping around getting the zoomies when she's excited <br/><br/>- Favorite things are playing with stuffies, getting love from her humans and going for walks <br/><br/>- Has been very friendly with strangers and loves to make new friends - this cuddler has so much love to give! <br/><br/>- Very smart, does great on a leash, and would be fun to train <br/><br/>- Would likely do well in either a house or apartment - she doesn't need much as long as she's getting attention and some potty breaks each day <br/><br/>- Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for her, so she may do best in a more mature home <br/><br/>- Can be socially awkward and take some time to warm up to new dogs; may also prefer some dogs over others and would be most comfortable with a slow introduction to new dogs (dog intro required) <br/><br/>- We don't know her history with cats <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.
