Furry Friday – Tina


tina 2I picked Tina as my adorable adoptable from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa this week because she just looks like she knows how to have fun!  I’ve included more pictures than usual to prove my point.  Plus, there is more detail about her below.tina 3

I also wanted to mention, they have plenty of cats, and more dogs.  The latter includes a bonded trio of beagles – a mom and her two adult daughters.  They are so cute!

So, pretty much whoever will fit best with your lifestyle – they are at the ARL.

Please Adopt, Don’t Shop. -Kate

tina 4BIG FAN OF: Playing and having fun. She loves to live life to the fullest.

SPECIAL FEATURES: Tina is a happy dog who loves attention, affection and pleasing her people. She’s looking for guardians who love to play around, just like she does. She currently knows sit and would love to learn more. She can be a little bit of a rowdy player with other dogs, so plan on a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs before adoption to make sure everyone is a great match.

DREAM HOME: A relaxed family with a great sense of humor and time to spend with her.

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.
