Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sebastian is not currently up for adoption at our shelter - instead we are helping his current foster, Amy, by listing him as a Courtesy Listing in hopes we can help her find someone that will welcome Sebastian into their home!   Amy's contact info is down below for anyone potentially interested.... Sebastian is a 13 year old neutered male who is up to date on vaccinations. Not 100% sure on his breed (possibly Bichon Frise, or some type of poodle mix) but he is low shedding and does need regular grooming. No significant health issues that we are aware of but past vet records indicate he could benefit from a dental cleaning. Copies of his vet records and rabies certificate are available.  Sadly, Sebastian’s owner passed away recently and he is looking for a new home. He previously lived with two other dogs who were bigger than him until they passed away from old age. Sebastian gets along great with the two German Shepherds in his foster home. He also seems fine with the cats in his foster home. He mainly leaves them alone and tries to give them their space. Sebastian’s favorite thing to do is being near humans, no matter the age or activity. He is particularly attached to his foster mom and would spend all day curled up next to her if he could. He has quite a bit of energy and spunk for an older guy and seems happy to go along with whatever his humans are doing. He does really well on a leash and seems fine with car rides. He hardly ever barks but can be a bit whiny if he doesn’t have access to his preferred human (heaven forbid a human wants to go potty in peace lol). He’s been exposed to so many new experiences and firsts with his foster family and has handled them well. Sometimes he can be a little skittish or seem a little uncertain and shakes when introduced to brand new things, but quickly acclimates with some encouragement from humans. He is a super sweet boy who would love a home with his very own human(s) who could spend lots of time with him. He doesn’t necessarily need constant attention and seems content to simply share space with people.   Amy's (foster) contact info: Amy Reihman 319-530-5289  (text preferred) amy.reihman@yahoo.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 14, 2026, 8:36 pm
