Marcella Pupper

Husky

Female, Young
Manchester, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Marcella is a three year old Husky Shepherd mix with bright, intelligent eyes (one blue and one brown/blue), high energy, curiosity, and heart. She is a goofy and charming dog who can be a cuddlebug. I am listing her for my parents (ages 86 and 78). They love her dearly, but due to health and injuries are unable to walk her or provide the active play and stimulation she needs. She thrives on movement; running, tug-of-war, and learning new tricks. This girl is built for adventure! She would flourish in a home with a family that enjoys being outside, staying active, and including their dog in daily fun. She isn’t being surrendered due to a lack of love; just a mismatch in lifestyle. Come and meet her or we could drive her to you within 5-6 hours of home.

Story
Rosie has been with my family for about 4 years and she came to us from a friend who adopted her from a shelter, so we are unsure of her background. Rosie is a snuggle bug kind of girl and very much a lover. She is extremely energetic and loves to run! She can play too wildly and gets too into it from time to time. Our reason for rehoming her is due to the wild play and the issues that stem from that. Currently we are struggling to get our children to not engage in rough housing with her because she seems to have very strong hunting/chasing etc. instincts. I recommend that she is in a home with a calm atmosphere with no smaller pets whatsoever and potentially no children. She is very adaptable to the environment which also includes when things get chaotic around her she feeds into that as well. We love Rosie so very much, but the circumstances in our home are not changing and it is currently not ideal for our family or Rosie. She needs a loving home that will guide her and train her.

Corncob

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr 6 mos
Monticello, IA

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

Story
True to her name, Corncob is a 1.5-year-old female Lab mix with a sunny yellow coat and an extra-corny personality to match. She’s an energetic, people-loving girl whose greatest dream is simply to have people of her very own to shower with affection—and she promises to give all that love right back. Corncob is fully convinced she’s a lap dog and has absolutely no concept of personal space—in the most adorable, affectionate way possible. If you’re sitting down, she assumes she’s been invited right into your lap for cuddles. She’s also a total toy fiend and can often be found happily gnawing on a bone or tossing her stuffed toys around all by herself. Corncob loves staying busy and would be thrilled to join her future family on adventures big and small. She does well with kids and is both potty-trained and crate-trained. Corncob has a solid handle on her basic manners, though she’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground when she gets excited to greet new friends (she just can’t help herself!). She can be a bit wary around other dogs, and though we think she could learn to coexist with another dog, she'd do best as the only dog in the home. She is currently indifferent to cats, so we think she could live peacefully in a home with a feline friend. Corncob would thrive in a home looking for a happy, affectionate companion—one who will greet them every day with a big smile, enthusiastic butt wiggles, and a heart full of love. If you’re ready for a joyful, cuddly sidekick to share life’s adventures, Corncob might just be your perfect match.

Stella

American Staffordshire Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos
Monticello, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This 4.5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix is the definition of a lovable goofball. With her quintessential Staffy face and those deep, soulful eyes, Stella has a way of melting hearts instantly — and her personality is just as beautiful. Stella is full of energy and absolutely loves her zoomies! She enjoys playtime with toys (tug is her favorite!) and can keep herself entertained, but nothing makes her happier than spending time with her people. She’s affectionate, eager to please, and has no concept of personal space — she’ll happily climb right into your lap for cuddles and attention. When it comes to other dogs, Stella can get a little overexcited at first, so slow and controlled introductions are important. She’s great with kids, but would do best in a home without cats. This smart girl is potty-trained and already knows her basic commands. She is crate-trained, but the chaotic shelter environment tends to stress her out, causing her to push her snout against her crate (hence the redness seen around her nose and lips). However, we're working with her to help her be more comfortable here, and she's getting better every day. Stella is searching for a family who can give her the exercise, structure, and love she needs to thrive — and in return, she’ll shower you with all the loyalty and affection you could ever want. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a big heart (and an even bigger personality), Stella might just be your perfect match!

Story
Caramel is a 1-year-old female Hound/Shepherd mix whose name perfectly captures both her rich, golden-brown coat and her sweet, sticky personality. Just like her namesake, she has a way of melting into your heart — and once she trusts you, she’ll stick by your side as the ultimate velcro dog. Wherever you go, expect a happy little shadow with long legs and a wagging tail to follow. Caramel is bursting with joyful, dopey puppy energy. Sometimes it even looks like she’s still growing into those adorably long legs! She’s playful, happy, and absolutely loves romping around the yard with her dog friends. A true social butterfly, she plays beautifully with dogs of all sizes and greets everyone she meets like a long-lost friend. Honestly, it’s impossible not to smile when you meet her — she’s simply that delightful. With medium-to-high energy, Caramel would love an active home where she can stretch her legs, play, and then curl up near her favorite humans. She’s clearly just happy to be alive — but she’d be even happier with a person or family to call her very own. The best part? She does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids. She’s fully potty-trained and crate-trained, making her an easy addition to the right home. Like many young pups, her manners are still a work in progress — sometimes she gets so excited that she forgets to keep all four paws on the floor — but that enthusiasm is just part of her charm. Caramel would thrive in nearly any loving family looking for a dog that embodies all the very best traits: sweet, playful, affectionate, and endlessly devoted. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will make every day a little brighter, Caramel is your girl.
