Story

Ohhhh Beckham! This silly, wildly lovable, energy-packed boy is searching for a forever family that can keep up with his zest for life! He is a schnoodle (part dog, part energizer bunny) and loves being on the go.We’re pretty sure Beckham may have been a pole vaulter in a past life because this athletic superstar can clear a 4-foot fence like he’s casually playing hopscotch. Beckham is sweet, affectionate, and full of love… but he is also FULL of energy. This boy isn’t looking for a couch potato lifestyle — he’s looking for adventure buddies, playmates, and humans who love being active as much as he does.Doggy daycare? Loved it. Did it tire him out? Well… Beckham apparently considered that the warm-up because he was still ready for two more hours of play afterward. He does well with other dogs and would thrive with a family that can give him both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Walks, adventures, games, training, puzzles — this smart, busy boy wants his brain and body moving.He may not be the “easy button” dog when it comes to energy level, but what you get in return is a goofy, loving, happy boy with a huge heart and a whole lot of life to share.If your idea of fun is making memories, staying active, and having a best friend who is always ready for the next adventure… Beckham might just be your guy.As with all of our adoptables, a meet n greet with all family members (furry and not so furry) is needed to make sure it’s the perfect fit.

Story

Hi!My name is Tom and I`m looking for my forever home. Even though I am considered a senior, I have a lot of energy. My foster mom tells me that I have nervous energy, but we`re working on it. She tells me that I`m getting better every week with barking less at the animals/objects/sounds that are scary. I am a smart dog that enjoys playing ball. I would rather play fetch than play with other dogs. I get along with all the other dogs in my foster home and enjoy the occasional wrestling match. I do not like to be alone. I have a high prey drive and enjoy chasing squirrels with the other dogs. I don`t think I should be trusted around cats either. When I`m not chasing something, I have my nose to the ground following their scent. For these reasons, I need to have a fenced in yard. When I am inside, I like to chew on bones and play tug with stuffed animals. I am not destructive in the house. My favorite treat is a peanut butter filled Kong. If you are looking for a new friend, come check me out!Love and sloppy kisses,Tom

Story

Hi there, my name’s Beans! I’m a 3-year-old Rottie mix… at least that’s what they tell me. The volunteers at the rescue say that I may have a herding breed mixed in me—have you heard me talk? I’ve got lots to say and plenty of energy to go with it!I’m a super friendly guy who loves people and having dog buddies to run around with outside. Seriously, if there’s running, I’m in. If there’s playing, I’m in. If there’s fun happening… I’m already there. I’ve got a big personality and I don’t really believe in slowing down, so I hope you’re ready to keep up!I should probably mention, I can be a bit vocal when I’m excited (and I get excited a lot), so I’d do best in a home without shared walls. I just have a lot of thoughts to share with the world!The humans here are still getting to know me, so we’re not totally sure how I feel about all dogs or kids yet. Because of that, I’d love to meet everyone first—both human and furry—to make sure we’ll be a good fit.If you’re looking for a fun, outgoing, full-of-life best friend who will keep you on your toes and make you smile every day… I might just be your guy. Please fill out an adoption application on our website to meet me and I`ll keep you updated when the volunteers learn more. xoxo, Beans

Grace

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 6 mos

DeSoto, IA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Grace`s story began as a stray roaming the countryside outside of Waukee, spending over a week on her own before finally being brought to safety. While she`s grateful to be cared for, the experience left her feeling unsure of the world around her, and she`s looking for a patient family that will help her build confidence at her own pace.This sweet girl is naturally nervous and would thrive in a calm, quieter home without a lot of commotion. Once she trusts you, though, Grace`s affectionate side shines through. She`s a total cuddle bug who wants nothing more than to be right by your side, or even better, curled up in your lap soaking up all the love and attention she can get.Grace can walk on a leash, but the outside world can still feel overwhelming to her, so she tends to pull when she`s feeling anxious. Because of this, a securely fenced yard would be ideal. One thing that always brings out her happy side is running, especially when she has canine friends to play with!We`ve been able to test Grace with other dogs and have found that she can be dog-selective, meaning she`ll need the right companion if there are other pets in the home. A meet and greet with all human and furry family members will be required to make sure everyone is a good fit.Grace has quickly won the hearts of many of our volunteers with her gentle nature and love of affection. She`s looking for a family willing to give her the time, patience, and understanding she needs to feel safe and secure.Please fill out an application to meet Grace or stop by and ask to meet her during open hours!
