Hi; I'm Iowa! Unofficially short for University of Iowa, of course. That's a pretty big school, and although I'm far from the biggest of my siblings, I do have a large amount of bravery. I easily adapt to new situations and enjoy figuring stuff out. In fact, I'm a real smart puppy - ready to go to college if I were a human! Since I'm a dog, I'll have to settle with going to dog training someday. I'm very active - going on walks or runs with my people and/or having a yard to run around would be fantastic for me. Also, I'm super sweet. I love to cuddle with and check up on my people.

Submit your application today; this puppy would love to meet their new roommates! Iowa and her siblings traveled here from Missouri, but now they're having a great time learning here in Minnesota! They'll be ready for move-in day on Feb. 21, when they turn 8 weeks old.
