Story
Meet Clyde – Your Big Sweetheart in Need of a Forever Home! He is neutered and up to date on shots. Currently located in Grimes, IA. Clyde is a 3-year-old, 85–90 lb bundle of love and muscle who will absolutely steal your heart. This handsome pittie is super sweet, has great recall, and loves nothing more than gazing into your soul with those big, loving eyes. He’s been wonderful with adults, teens, a toddler, and a busy, loud household. Clyde gets along with other dogs, but we think he’d thrive best as an only pet or with one calm adult dog. He hasn’t been tested with cats. Clyde is crate-trained and goes in willingly, but he dreams of living like a human—free and loved! He’s strong and a little jumpy, so he needs someone who can work with him on manners. He’s smart, eager to please, and deserves the best life. Why is Clyde looking for a new home? His current family loves him, but due to an unexpected medical emergency, they can’t give him the attention and space he deserves.

Story
Meet Nova — affectionately known as “Itty Bitty Pitty”! 💕 Don’t let her petite 30-pound frame fool you — Nova is full of love, playfulness, and personality! This adorable terrier mix is the perfect blend of fun and snuggles. She loves playing with her foster siblings (a Great Dane and a Pug — talk about range!) and especially enjoys soft toys for playtime. After a good round of zoomies, Nova is ready to crash for cuddles. She’s happiest when she’s close to her humans and will follow you around just to be part of the action. Nova walks beautifully on a leash, has had zero accidents, and is a pro at kenneling through the night. She’s an all-around sweetheart looking for a family who will let her be their little shadow and snuggle buddy. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving companion, Nova might just be your perfect match! 🐾💖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
Hi! My name is Nika. I am a 12 year old female Shih Tzu. I was recently surrendered to a shelter by no fault of my own. The shelter helped to get me healthy with a dental and a mastectomy. I am having one of my eyes removed soon, but that won't slow me down! I would like to have a playmate and a fenced yard. I am deaf and it helps me having a buddy around and the fence will keep me safe. My foster Mom says I am adorable and such a sweet pup. I would have to agree with her, I am great! I am having so much fun with my foster siblings. Young kids probably aren't a good fit for me, since I am easily startled being deaf.If you are looking for another member of your family, please fill out an application for ME! I can't wait to find my furever home.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.

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!
