Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mickey, Mickey, you're so fine! This absolutely adorable little gentleman is in search of his forever family. Mickey is not only gorgeous with a soft and shiny coat, but he is attentive and loving. We predict that he will be a snap to train because of his consistent interest in being with "his person" and his habit of looking for guidance. He loves to romp and play and is food motivated, but he also seeks out lovin's. Micki and his littermates came to Iowa from an overwhelmed shelter in Texas when they were very small. Mickey's loving spirit helped him to not only survive but to thrive. He is now healthy and, like we said, gorgeous!

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet chill, sweet Willie! This guy came to Iowa from an overwhelmed shelter in Oklahoma, and you have the good fortune of meeting him after lots of housetraining and learning other manners! He is a loving guy who likes to cuddle and knows 'sit' and 'kennel'. His favorite activities outdoors are chasing balls and sunbathing. His adoption fees are SPONSORED, but we do require an application and a conversation to seal the deal. This great companion fella is chipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations, too! What a great package! Willie should only be with dog-savvy cats. He doesn't try to hurt them, but he may jump on them or overwhelm a cat. However, we have found that Willie really needs a companion dog who will play with him! We'd recommend a family with another dog for Willie.

Rosco

Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult

West Liberty, IA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rosco has been a wonderful and loving companion to our family for 9 years. He loves to play fetch, go for walks, and curl up at your feet. He always aims to please. He is somewhat of an anxious dog and startles easily. He very much dislikes being placed into a crate. He wants to be with people, but can be left at home for up to 12 hours at a time without having an accident, though we rarely let him be by himself that long. He is always happy to greet our family and visitors. He does bark when the doorbell rings and can sound mean when he barks but is very docile. He does not jump on people and is never aggressive to people or other animals. Our family is moving to New Zealand soon and, after discussing it with his vet we have decided that 20+ hours in a crate followed by 2 weeks in quarantine in New Zealand would be too traumatic for him. We are in search of a loving home where Rosco can spend the remainder of his years. Thank you for considering making him a part of your family.
