Story

We got Gabby as a little puppy and just under a year later she had puppies. She is up to date on her vaccines and has been fixed. She loves everyone, but she will bark at strangers. She loves to cuddle and play fetch. It's difficult to get her a new home, however I can't keep 3 dogs where I'm living now..

Story

Cow was supposed to be adopted when he was a puppy however that person couldn't take him. So he has been with us since he was born. He loves to cuddle and give kisses 💕 My husband recently passed away and the trailer park won't allow more than 2 dogs and with my chronic pain syndrome I struggle with more than one dog. It breaks my heart to give them away, but I cant do it alone.

Molly is an 8-year-old, 65-pound Rottweiler mix with a friendly, playful personality and a big heart. She loves being close to her people, chewing on Nylabones, and relaxing in a fenced backyard. She's house-trained, leash-trained, knows basic commands, and is fully vaccinated.Molly gets along well with children and other dogs. We haven't had the opportunity to see how she does with cats.She came to us as a temporary foster, but unfortunately her previous owner was unable to take her back, so we're looking for the loving forever home she deserves.Molly would thrive with an active family that will include her in daily life and give her plenty of affection and exercise. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily stay by your side, Molly could be the perfect addition to your family.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

9 year old female Black Lab Mix named Willow we are looking to rehome. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she has been loved all of her life. Unfortunately, with our growing family we are having a hard time finding time for her and want her to have the best life for her remaining years. We have a 2 year old daughter and a new born boy now. She hasn't been a issue around either but she does like her space. Our 2 year has a hard time giving her the space she wants and I fear she may end up biting her. I don't believe she ever would, but she has shown signs that she is uncomfortable. Willow is microchipped and has had all vaccines up until this last year. She gets simparica trio each month and has never had any health issues other than an eye infection that was resolved when she was around 3.

Stella

German Wirehaired Pointer Poodle (Standard)

Female, Young

Dysart, IA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is our dog, Stella. She is two years old. We bought her from a family who had the mother(German wire-haired pointer/Drahthaar) and father (standard poodle), which led to an accidental litter, and have had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is friendly and has lots of energy and also has a calm side. She has been raised with young kids and does fine with them. Due to changes in our schedule, we are no longer able to give her the supervision, time, and consistency she needs. She has recently become destructive when left unsupervised, and we feel it would be best to find her a home that can better meet her needs and give her the attention she deserves. She is loving and is well-behaved in the house with supervision, and will thrive in the right environment.
