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
We adopted Koda from a shelter in 2021. He was a stray so there wasn’t much info when we got him. He is around 5-6 years old. He listens most of the time. He does know “lay down” and knows that he’s supposed to lay down in a specific spot. He loves to be outside running around or even just laying in the sun. He needs to have either a fenced in yard or an invisible fence of some sort as he will take off. Koda is well mannered while inside. He was crate trained, but hasn’t been in one for a few years unless he stays at someone else’s house. He has recently started to become aggressive to our other two dogs. It isn’t all the time, but is enough to be concerning especially with our infant son getting to the point where he could start walking at any point. Koda cannot be around cats. He is very aggressive towards them. He would do well as an only pet. He has done well in the past with children around 3-4years old and older but is unsure of our 10 month old son.

Story
Meet Macy! This girl is a classic Heeler. She loves to play, go for walks and chase after her ball. She does well with other dogs though doesn't always pick up on social cues when they try to tell her they're done playing. She does great with kids. She's looking for a home of her own to be her best self! We'd love for Macy to get a home of her own for the holidays. She has currently been at our shelter the longest out of all the dogs. Macy's adoption fee is sponsored by a generous donor!
