Hi, my name is Rommel, the gentle giant. I’m sure people are a bit leery of me because of my size, but spend some time with me and you will quickly see that I am a sweet loving boy. I love to snuggle up to people while they scratch my ears or rub my belly; I have even been known to try to sit on people’s laps if they are giving me some good scratches. I am not a fan of cats, so I can’t go to home with cats. But I am very smart boy; I know how to sit, shake, and lay down, and for some treats I would be willing to learn so much more.  So if you are a true believer in “size does not matter”  and are looking for a smart, affectionate, loving companion, then I am the dog for you.

Meet Bebe, the little ball of energy.  They say that age is just a number, and that is so true when it comes to Bebe. She may be 9 years old, but throw a ball for her and she instantly becomes a puppy again.  Bebe is a very affectionate dog who just loves to be around people, and if you want to throw the ball for her that would be the perfect day for this little sweetheart.  If you are looking for a well behaved, sweet, ball of energy, then Bebe is the girl for you.

This handsome man is Biscoe and he’s a Red Heeler/Lab mix!  Don’t you just love that face!  He does great in the car and loves to play with his humans.  He loves playing with other dogs if properly introduced and is a sweet, smart boy! He loves going for runs/walks and would love to have an active human to call his own.  He is selective of the men he is around but this is being worked on with the amazing volunteers at the adoption center.

Hi I’m Tilly! I am about 2 years old and I came from an overcrowded shelter in Arkansas.  I am so happy to be in Iowa so I can find my forever home.  I am a very sweet girl.  I love people and love to play! I am not a big fan of cats but I am friendly to people of all ages. I can like other dogs if I am properly introduced. I love to cuddle and can be a lap dog if you let me! I was heartworm positive when I came to Iowa but I am almost finished with my recovery time and can’t wait to go to my forever home!  All of our pets need to be kept as indoor pets and we do require a home visit as part of the adoption process. The adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations.

Casanova is certainly a lover. He is a 40 lb lap dog that does not take “no” for an answer when it comes to affection. He is not above begging for head scratching, belly rubbing or face kissing. He absolutely loves people and wants to be with them. He plays well with female and submissive males but he is so needy for attention that he will go after a another male dog that he thinks is more bossy than he is. He is a jealous young man and not afraid to show it. We suggest he goes to a home with no other male dogs, big or small.

His potty training is about 90 percent and he is trying very hard. He is kennel trained and sits in it quietly when he has to be left home. He likes to have a chew toy in with him to keep him busy. He loves treats, but wants human interaction even more. He is good with kids and not food aggressive or toy aggressive with kids. He lives with cats and has not done anything more than chase them a bit. He is a bit over curious about them so he is not left unattended with cats for his safety and theirs. Make no mistake about this boy, he is a bed cuddler, a couch cuddler and a lap dog. Plan on watching TV through his head if you try to ignore him.

He is pretty high energy during playtime and he will keep kids or an active adult busy. He takes a few days to settle in but once he does, he is good about sleeping at night and just being content and hanging out with the family. All of our pets need to be kept as indoor pets and we do require a home visit as part of the adoption process. Landlord (if applicable), vet and personal references will be called.  The adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations.
