Rocky

❤️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/>- Goofy pup who loves toys and spending time with people <br/><br/>- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "Rocky is a fantastic hiking and walking companion. He handled the leash and harness beautifully, had plenty of stamina for a long hike, and was perfectly content to pause and rest when I needed a break. He's incredibly affectionate and gave me big dog hugs throughout our time together. He rides wonderfully in the car - calm, quiet, and happy to either watch the world go by or settle into his seat."<br/><br/>- Treat-motivated and got a good start on sit in just one afternoon <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 and may prefer to be the only dog in his home (dog intro required) <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.
