Story

Toby is a special boy looking for a forever person. He's 4.5 years old and 65 lbs, fully house/crate trained, loves walks and going on car rides. He was owned by an older couple who unfortunately had to go to assisted living so they surrendered him. He lived with an older husky in his previous home but doesn't love most other animals in his space. He does well meeting new people one on one and when he trusts you he will be the best protector and loves to give kisses. He would do best with someone who has a calmer lifestyle and wants a buddy to follow them around and watch out for them. He's had a couple different homes now so would love to have a true forever place of his own! If interested in meeting this dude, please put an application in at www.foreverhomedogs.org!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.

Story

Tofu is a 3 month old pup looking for a forever home. This litter was dumped at a shelter at only about a week old.

Due to needing to still be neutered, he will need to stay within about an hour from the Des Moines area to come back for a couple more shots and neuter. Tofu's adoption fee is $300. If interested in him, please fill out the adoption application on our website. www.foreverhomedogs.orgAll 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.

Meet Buddie! Do not let his age fool you, Buddie has a lot of spunk left in him! Buddie loves walks and fetching squeak toys. After a walk he also enjoys snuggling up on the couch or chewing on a bone or filled KONG. Buddie does great with other dogs and matched energy well, fine with cats, and is a happy, social guy with humans. While Buddie has kenneled some, it definitely adds stress to his day, so he has free roam at his foster home when they are away and is perfectly potty pad trained for the typical work day with no accidents for a shorter time away. He goes potty outside very well when humans are home. Buddie sleeps all night on a dog bed with no accidents as well. Buddie is the sweetest, silly, senior guy and would make such a great ‘buddy’ for someone! Buddie’s adoption fee is $150.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.
