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
This sweet boy just turned 2 y/o on June 2. I’ve never had a pro with him, I just can’t keep him where I live. “Rosco” is what I started calling him otherwise you can rename him as they’re very smart & he is young. He has lived outside in an anraa with shelter & igloo dog house with pine shavings (only had to shave him 1x last July until this now, June & got along fine with groomer). He could be trained to go in/out if you want an inside pet o/w he likes it outside & to play & run. His most funny trait is he howls back at the coyotes! He gets along with 2 older female dogs- one is his mother (Silver- Blue) Labrador Retriever (also need a home for her if you want them both) she will be 6yrs in September. You can text me if you have questions if serious about adopting. Thanks! (xxx) xxx-xxxx .

Story
Misty Blue was born in 2020, had 3 litters of Labradoodles, was a great mama then spayed 8/2024. She is very loving, full of energy! Loves living life outdoors to run & swim in ponds with other dogs. Not been around children a lot, just when they came up to her fenced area. She licked their hands and wagged her tail, seemed happy & wanted to play. She would be best on an acreage/farm o/w indoors but definitely not used to being in a kennel except when I got her in 2022. Misty likes riding in a vehicle. She has been living with 2 other dogs outside since she came here. I really need to rehome Misty & her pup: chocolate & caramel male 2 yr old Labradoodle (they don’t have to go together but is an option!) d/t my back issues, pain & working overnights I’m not as active. Feel free to send me a direct message for questions or text me @ 641-745-7760. Thank you!
