Ollie is a very special dog with a very sad background in search of a loving forever family. He was hit by a truck and left for dead on the side of the road, his spine was fractured from the blow. Through the kindness of strangers, Ollie was rescued and received the medical attention he so desperately needed. His spine has healed, although he walks with a limp, he is learning to run and play and just be a happy dog again! Ollie is medically recovered and in need of a loving home that can offer him no stairs – those are still tricky! Ollie is also best suited for a home with older children as he can experience some sensitivity on his underside and wouldn’t want to scare a small child if he felt a little pain.
Ollie is in foster care and loves to run and play. His foster home has put him on some very inexpensive over the counter arthritis supplement for humans. He is responding remarkably. He will always have a little limp, which is pronounced when he is tired. He has taken it on himself to practice the three steps in the back yard to get a better vantage point to play, so a few steps with lots of patience would work out. He travels fine, but, does not like being picked up so a ramp would help him. He likes kids and everyone, and trips to Petco are great fun. He is very affectionate and gives kisses and head buts for attention. He is a little protective of his food and gets fed in his crate. He insists on 2 walks a day, just a few blocks, but, man does he love those walks. Bunnies beware here comes Ollie.

Luke was live trapped in a neighborhood where animal rescuers were looking for three abandoned kittens. We attempted to release him the next day, thinking he was someone’s pet, and he would not go. He just sat in the back of the kennel and cried. Searches for a potential owner were unsuccessful. He has been a bit scared since being rescued which 
is understandable with what he’s been through lately, but we’re hoping this handsome boy will soon realize his new life has just begun! Won’t you give this sweet boy a chance to win your heart?
Hey, Roxie here! I am just 10 months old and am looking for a fun, active family to call my own! I love to play and the volunteers say I am the ‘class clown’! (I don’t know what that means but I love to play with my human friends!) I am okay with cats and love to play with other dogs! I would love to have a fenced yard and another dog to play with in my new home. I am pretty big and could be a little jumpy for small kids. If you are looking for a fun, goofy furfriend, I’m your girl! I am wishing for a family that can help me learn lots of new things too! If you think you are that special family submit an application for me!
Hi, I’m Ace! I am a 2 yr old very energetic boy! I love my people and want to be with them all the time. I am house trained too. I would love an active family that takes me with them and gives me lots of exercise.
My name is Charlie and I was found as a stray by the Pipac Center in Cedar Falls. I hung out there for about a week until my foster mom could get me to her house. I am approximately 2 1/2 to 3 years old. I am a neutered male with all claws. My testing shows I am Feline Leukemia and FIV negative and up to date on shots. Microchipped as well. My foster mom says I am so sweet. I love head scratches and rubbing on your hand. I am litter trained. I play with the other cats in the foster home (there are kittens in the house as well). I run and play with the female cat a lot. I don’t even mind the 3 little dogs in the house. I enjoy a cat bed to lay on and I’m super quiet unless I’m scared or hungry. I love love love to eat!!! I don’t get on the counters because my foster mom doesn’t allow that kind of stuff but I’m ok with that. I’m happy to be in a home where someone loves me and takes care of me.
Foster mom notes: Charlie is so very sweet, calm, and pretty lazy. He is currently on cat food from Science Diet indoor cat. He is pretty timid at first and needs time to get to know you and the routine but he’s so very loving. He’s good with pets and can be picked up but he will squirm to get down after a short period. He loves other animals. He is very accepting and adjusts so well to new environments. He will make a very good companion to anyone.
Meow, I’m Jackson,
I also met Julli’s husband, John. They took me to a place they call “HOME.” Home has clean water (I like it from a faucet), yummy food, fish in a tank, toys, and these larger animals, called grandchildren. They are loud, fun, and silly just like me. I enjoy running out from under the bed to scare them.
volunteering in February of 2016.
They volunteer as dog leads at the Adoption Center and work an average of three to four shifts a week. They feed, give medication, provide exercise and play time, clean, and make sure each dog gets plenty of love and attention.
