gonzo

❤️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.❤️---- A total people dog who enjoys playing fetch and wants to be petted and cuddled - he'd love to be BFFs!- Loves chasing butterflies - Likes to learn and has great focus - especially if you have treats- Recently went on a Dog's Day Out field trip: "Gonzo responds very well on walks and will pace with you, checking to make sure you're still there. He'll lay down when he needs a break but is up and ready to go on the next adventure in just a few minutes. He's also very treat-motivated and very gentle when taking them." - Can be anxious in the car at first, but settles down once it's moving - Young, noisy or busy children can be too much for him (mature home recommended) - Can be socially awkward around other dogs, may need time to warm up to new dogs and may prefer some dogs over others; needs to be the only dog in his new home- Needs a home with no cats - 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.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: Grey Weight: 67 Age: 2yrs 4mths 1wks
