My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Your New Best Friend!

This sweet 2-year-old, 40-lb mixed breed boy is the total package—cuddly, playful, and full of love! He’s been in his foster home for a year and is so ready for a forever family. He’s kennel trained, potty trained, has basic manners, and is great with dogs, kids, and people. His favorite things? Fetch and especially FRISBEE! 🥏
No cat experience yet, but he can be tested. Could you be his forever? 💙

This sweet boy is ready to give unconditional love, endless tail wags, and lots of frisbee sessions to the family lucky enough to adopt him. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and affectionate companion—he just might be your perfect match! If interested in meeting Rocket, please apply at www.foreverhomedogs org and we will reach out ASAP.All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots.

Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

More about this rescue

All our rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and have all necessary veterinary care.

We were formed in January 2014 and are a non-profit organization in central Iowa. We are pending our official 501c3 status. We receive no government funding and rely completely on donations.
