Liam

My story

- Super fun boy who loves toys, especially balls and squeaky toys - Also enjoys cuddling and would love to be your lap dog - Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip and had a great time with his human companions: "Liam, or Mr. Handsome, was so much fun to play with at the park. He absolutely loves to play chase with a ball. His favorite kind is definitely a soccer ball, but any ball will do! Liam would keep his ball collection right there next to him, staking claim on them all. Liam loves his snacks, and the smell of food everywhere interests him. He is a sweetheart!" - Loves going on walks and does best with a harness- May need a little coaxing to get in the car, but once he's in he's totally fine; on a recent outing he rode quietly, stayed in his seat, and even took a little nap- Tends to be a linebacker-type player with other dogs, and will likely do best with a select group of rough-and-tumble dog friends with a similar play style (dog intro recommended) - Has an abnormal gait and some hyperextension of his knees, but gets around just fine and shows no signs of discomfort; X-rays showed no signs of orthopedic issues, and we would be happy to provide those to his new vet (more info at ARL) This pet qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program. If you're interested in fostering to adopt, please reach out to fosterinquiry@arl-iowa.org.All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)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. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 48 Age: 3yrs 7mths 2wks
