Story
Tucker is 6 years old and is looking for a new home due to our health and relocating. Tucker joined our family when he was approx 12 weeks old. Tucker loves people and kids. He has been around other animals but always on a leash. Will bark but never showed signs of aggressiveness. He is intellilgent, energetic, fearless, courageous, athletic, affectionate, can be stubborn, and is very submissive. Tucker sleeps in a heated garage in his crate. His crate is his safe zone. He does not like baths nor getting caught in the rain and hates cold weather. Tucker can NOT swim, he is all muscle. Tucker has never been inside the house but might adapt if trained by use use of a crate. Tucker currently has 10+ acres to run in. He enjoys chasing rabbits, squirrels and other wild life. He loves attention, back and belly rubs, treats, and human food. He will come up to you holding his paw up as if it hurts, this is a fake out! :-) Holding is paw up is way to get a back scratch or treats!

Story
Frankie is a super fun, athletic guy with lots of unconditional love to give. He came to us as a stray and was never claimed. He is a happy, social dog that gets along very well with people. Frankie loves walks, car rides and spending time doing anything that entertains his brain. He does good with dogs his same size but is not suited for a home with small dogs. A slow intro and supervision will ensure the best outcome for a lifelong friendship with all dogs. Frankie has a very high prey drive and can not live in a home with cats, small animals or poultry. He has proven that he will hurt and even kill anything that is small. His activity level is high and he will need ways to keep busy to reduce bad behavior because of boredom. A daily walk and some fetch time will help keep him entertained and fit. A fence is not required and potential adopters should know that Frankie can climb a 4 ft fence. This guy is clean in his kennel, listens well and is a volunteer favorite. He is approximately 4 years old, vaccinated and neutered. He was named after Frank Sinatra because of his blue eyes. If interested in meeting this charming, active guy please email mdowney@iowatelecom.net for an adoption application.

Story
🚨Sassy senior citizen alert🚨 Meet Snuggles Sassy Pants Age- 12 Breed- mini dachshund mix What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? Shuggles was the queen of her 🏰 until her elderly human passed away. She was brought to us to find her new castle Are you good with kids? What age ranges? Tiny humans are NOT her jam. They are far too busy and all up in her personal space. She would be fine with older children 12+ who understand that she’s a little old lady and she doesn’t want you to do anything other than serve her needs like the queen she is. She is. Are you good with other dogs? Yes. She couldn’t care less what other canine cocubines reside in her castle. She will absolutely view them as beneath her, but she will cohabitate with them just fine. Are you good with cats? Cats are a hard pass for her. Her ancestral roots are STRONG. She will hunt a cat 🐈 Are you housebroken? What is your current potty routine? Duh. No queen would ever potty in her castle. Gross. She will absolutely let you know when she has to go out and she does love going on potty walks. Do you like car rides? Yes!! She we’ll sit in her chariot just fine. Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? Yes. She will walk nicely and do her business. She is 12 so her long walking days are behind her. Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy? She does like toys and demands her daily Greenie to keep her fangs nice and clean. Do you know any commands/tricks? She’s not big on commands, she’d prefer you ask nicely and she will decide if your request is worth her effort….most the time it’s a no. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Describe your personality-Snuggles is basically your grumpy old grandma who smoked Pal Mals for 30 years and now just wants to live out her days in peace and quiet being left TF alone 😂 She is happy snoozing on her favorite recliner and watching Mash reruns with you all day. She would be a great companion for an elderly person who wants someone with them but not necessarily a total lap dog. She doesn’t love tons of attention but will sit next to you. She’s an opinionated old gal who knows what she wants in life. If you can respect that, she would be perfect for you!!! She is spayed , utd on all shots and just had a dental. Snuggles is fostered in Sioux City.
