My personality

My story

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

She is just stunning! VooDoo is a 6-year-old shepherd mix*. She is a smart cookie and loves to learn new things. She is great on a leash and would make a great running or walking partner. VooDoo is friendly and loves everyone she meets. She is dog friendly. If you have one in your home, we require a meet and greet to be sure the fit is right. We think she would want to chase a cat so we recommend a home without felines. VooDoo is an energetic girl and we want her to have a fully fenced yard to run nd play in safely. We are just getting to know this beautiful girl so we will add information as we learn more.

You can meet VooDoo on Saturdays from 10-2 at Dogs Forever, 809 Rockford Rd SW in Cedar Rapids IA. Please fill out an application using the link provided below prior to your visit so we can learn more about you and your home.

Their adoption process

1.

Meet the Pet

We recommend that potential adopters come to our Safe Place shelter on any Saturday, between 10am and 2pm, to meet our available dogs.

2.

Submit Application

Potential adopters/fosters over 21 may submit an application online, via snailmail, or in person.

3.

Approve Application

If your application (with references) is approved, you will be notified. We are all volunteers so please be patient with us.

4.

Home Check

If you already have other animals, an additional off-site meet & greet may be required to ensure compatibility.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

The adoption fee (based upon the dog's age) must be paid when the adoption contract is signed.

6.

Take the Pet Home

You will be asked to provide our Adoption Committee with updates regarding how your new family member is adapting.

Additional adoption info

Both Adopters and Fosters are required to complete an application that includes two personal references and a vet reference (if applicable). When reference checks are complete, a home visit will be scheduled for applicants deemed a feasible potential match.

Our adoption fees are age-based; $150 for senior dogs (7 years and older); $175 for dogs 1-6 years; $200 for dogs under 1 year of age.

If you are 65 years or older, the adoption fee is waived when you adopt a senior dog. All Dogs Forever dogs are vaccinated against rabies and distemper/parvo, tested for heartworm and Lyme disease, and are microchipped. They are on heartworm preventative.

All Dogs Forever dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

More about this shelter

Dogs Forever Safe Place is an Adoption Guarantee shelter where volunteers care for homeless dogs who need a second chance for a better life.

Some of our dogs come from kill shelters where they were at risk of being euthanized or from other Iowa counties that have no animal shelter.

Dogs Forever provides a refuge, a sanctuary, until the Adoption Committee finds their forever home.

There are currently no additional pets at this shelter. Please check back later!
