Story

Delilah was adopted from CVHS in October of 2018. We got her as a companion for my other dog is around her same age, she will be turning 9 years old this year. She is a very sweet and cuddly dog who loves being with her person. She will give you all the cuddles and kisses even when you don’t need one! She is definitely a lover girl who also really enjoys water. She loves jumping in our baby pool and taking a nice dip and relaxing. She is very energetic and would require daily walks to keep her from going crazy lol. Unfortunately, we have learned since having our first child that she is not very comfortable around smaller children and that she needs all the attention. She is best suited for someone with other children who can give her the care and attention she needs.

Story

Max is a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd (Aussie) who is truly such a wonderful dog. He’s very chill, incredibly smart, and great with kids. He has been a loved part of our family, and this is a very difficult decision for us. Unfortunately, we just aren’t able to give Max the time and attention he deserves. Shortly after getting him, we started having babies, and our family has grown much faster than we ever anticipated. We’re now about to welcome our fourth child, with our oldest only being 4. I do my best to keep up with everyone, but with the size of our home, four little ones, and everything that comes with a growing family, I feel that Max would ultimately be happier with a family who has more time to give him the attention, exercise, and companionship he deserves. This is not because of anything Max has done—he really is an amazing dog. We just want to do what’s best for him and find him a home where he can truly thrive and get the love and attention he deserves.

Story

Norah is an amazing, loving, and caring English Bulldog. She is 4 years old, born December 8, 2021, and weighs approximately 55 pounds. We have always had English Bulldogs in our lives, and Norah has been a very important part of our family. We have had her since she was a little puppy, and she has been deeply loved throughout her life. She is currently on a medication for anxiety that is given with food once a day in the AM We believe Norah could do very well as the only dog in a home where she can receive plenty of attention and be the center of someone’s world. She is extremely affectionate and loving with people and absolutely loves attention. She has so much love to give, and we truly believe she could thrive in the right environment. Our hope is to find her a home where she can feel safe, loved, and happy while getting the individual attention she loves.

Togo

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Togo! *fostered in Cedar Rapids* Togo came to us from Wichita Animal Shelter as a stray and was sadly placed on the euthanasia list a few years ago. We were able to pull him to safety, and he was adopted by a family who invested time and training into him. Unfortunately the family had to return him due to a move so he is back with us. Togo is a German Shepherd/Husky mix, possibly with a bit of Malamute. From the Shepherd side, he gets his loyalty and intelligence. The Husky in him brings the personality — a little dramatic and very expressive. His Malamute traits show in his calm, sometimes aloof, and strong-willed nature. Togo already knows sit and down and has been working hard on polite leash walking and keeping all four paws on the ground instead of jumping. He is also potty trained and kennel trained, giving him a great foundation for an easy transition into his forever home. Togo is a big boy who doesn’t always realize his size, so he could accidentally knock someone over. Because of this, a home without small children would be best. He is extremely friendly and thrives around other dogs. Togo currently lives at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and absolutely loves to play, making him a great candidate for a home with other canine companions. He would love to continue going to doggie daycare to help burn off energy and keep him busy. While he can clear a 6-foot fence, he hasn’t attempted to at daycare. In his forever home, he will need supervision outside, and having another dog friend could help keep him happy and engaged in the yard. Things to know about Togo: • He can jump — and clear a 6-foot fence — if left unattended • He does best with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation • He wants to be part of a family and included in daily life (and yes, spoiled a little!) Togo is full of life, love, and personality. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun, devoted companion and are ready to keep up with this smart, active boy, Togo might just be your perfect match.
