Story

Looking for a loving family for our 12-year-old dog. Mira is 24 lbs mix of Black Lab and Rat Terrier, which basically results in a black lab puppy for life! She's great with other animals (dogs, cats, rats) and is fine around well-behaved kids. She loves attention, playing ball (endlessly), and going on walks. She walks well and knows quite a few tricks! She doesn't like to swim but will get in a boat (even inflatables). Some of her favorite things to do are opening Christmas presents and sitting at picnic tables to snack on a few B-bops fries or a pup-cup. She's healthy, spayed, and up-to-date on all shots and vetting. She makes a great companion and does great when being kenneled at 4Paws (Clive) where she loves doggy daycare and gets constant praise and adoration by the staff. She will come w/ harness, lead, water bowl, bed, and toys.

Gracie

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Dexter, IA

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Gracie was born on May 20th, 2017 in Oklahoma. She was brought to Des Moines IA by Hope Rescue, who now are refusing to assist with finding a foster family for her. Anne adopted her in June 2020. Gracie had been severely abused. At 1st it took Anne over 5 minutes of gentle coaching to get Gracie brave enough to go outside to her large, privacy fenced in back yard! Anne paid a dog trainer to befriend her and then she'd take her on hikes with a group of dogs. She has come a long way since then! She still is scared of new people she meets, just give them a chicken treat to give to her, instant friends! I have had Gracie living with me since Anne, went into the hospital and then passed away on January 10th, 2023. I have been trying to find a new home for Gracie since then. She is very scared of thunder but playing soothing music for her helps. I am allergic to dogs and am really needing to find a good home for her. She is a sweet dog who would benefit living with another pup.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi! My name is Jasper! I am a 3 year old purebred Australian Shepherd. I am super playful and have LOTS of energy--I will play for DAYS! Unfortunately, I do suffer from quite a bit of fear and anxiety. My mom uses a prong collar when she takes me out because I bark and lunge at other people and pets when on walks. I'd definitely do best in a home with a fenced-in yard for that reason. I also need a home where I'd probably be the only pet. I need to be fed alone because I always protect my food by attacking other pets in my house when they get too close to my food dish. I do like playing with medium to bigger dogs so I may do well in a home with them if we are fed separately. But NO CATS! I do not get along with the cat in my current house which is why I need to find a new home. Despite some of my behavioral issues, I am VERY loyal and sweet once I bond with a person. I can take a while to warm up to new people but usually if you feed me a few treats, I become your new best friend.
