Roy's Story

- Loves people and activity and likes to be at the center of whatever's going on <br/><br/>- Adores treats and booty scratches <br/><br/>- Really enjoys walks and does best with a harness; always excited to go outside with our staff and volunteers and may be a great walking buddy <br/><br/>- May prefer to explore and do his own thing here in the shelter, but will likely open up more once he's in a home and has had time to decompress <br/><br/>- Knows sit<br/><br/>- Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs; will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style and may prefer to be the only dog in his home (dog intro required) <br/><br/>- Needs a home with no cats <br/><br/>- Has some extra pounds on him right now, so he'd love a family who will provide regular exercise and a healthy diet so he can feel his best<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.
