Marcella

Husky Shepherd (Unknown Type)

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.

Husk

Husky

Male, 1 yr 8 mos
Monticello, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Husk is a 1.5-year-old male Siberian Husky with a story of resilience and a heart full of joy. He was found wandering as a stray in Texas and came into care in very rough condition—nearly hairless on his legs and snout, with cracked, bleeding skin. Thanks to months of patience and care, Husk has made an incredible recovery. Six months later, his fur is growing back beautifully, and he’s been transported north in hopes of finding the forever home he truly deserves. Today, Husk is a stunning, regal boy with gorgeous coloring and a smile that can light up a room. His personality, though? Pure goofball. He’s a classic husky—independent, a little mischievous, and blissfully unaware of personal boundaries—but above all else, Husk just wants to have fun. He’s never met a person or dog he didn’t assume was a potential friend and playmate. Husk loves romping around the yard with other dogs, exploring the outdoors, and satisfying his curious, adventurous spirit. After he’s had his fill of playtime, he’s happy to curl up into a fluffy ball for a well-earned nap… until it’s time to do it all over again. He is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, knows his basic commands, and is continuing to work on his manners. Husk does great with other dogs and older kids, but because he tends to jump and invade personal space, he would do best in a home without small children or cats. Husk would thrive in a home ready to embrace his happy, energetic nature and give him the love, care, and comfort he missed out on during the first year and a half of his life. If you’re looking for a joyful, playful companion and are ready for a little husky-style chaos and a lot of love, Husk might just be your perfect match.

Stella

American Staffordshire Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 4 yrs 6 mos
Monticello, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This 4-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!

Dixie

Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua

Female, 10 yrs 7 mos

Story
Meet Dixie — a 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love and plenty of pep left in her step. This sweet senior girl was sadly abandoned by her owner in Louisiana, but she’s made her way to Iowa and is more than ready to start a brand-new chapter. Dixie’s face shows a little silver and her body has a few lumps and bumps that come with age (none of which are health concerns), but don’t let that fool you—she still has lots of good years ahead of her. When the mood strikes, Dixie loves to play! Warm days are her favorite, and she’s happy to prance around outside with her canine friends or even engage in a game of chase. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and does well with cats and kids, too. Indoors, she’s all about the cozy life: Dixie adores stuffed toys and will happily hoard them if allowed, and she’s an absolute glutton for attention. Pets, cuddles, lap time—she wants it all. Once she’s worn herself out, she’s perfectly content curling up right next to you for a well-earned nap. Dixie is potty-trained and crate-trained, though she may need a few extra potty breaks due to her age. She would thrive in just about any home that’s ready to give a happy, affectionate, and energetic senior girl a soft place to land and all the love she deserves in her golden years. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with personality, playfulness, and a whole lot of heart, Dixie just might be your girl.

Story
Petey is a 2-year-old male Lab mix with a whole lot of personality packed into his small stature. He may be compact, but he’s impossible to miss—thanks to the charming spot over one eye and his absolutely adorable uneven ears. Out of his puppyhood but still holding onto the best puppy traits, Petey’s love for toys is alive and well. You’ll often find him proudly trotting around with a toy in his mouth or joyfully shaking it side to side like he’s won a prize. Tug-of-war is the game in Petey’s book, and he’s always ready for a playful challenge. He does great with other dogs and can truly hang with the big dogs—literally and figuratively. Petey has a more dominant play style, so he thrives best with dog friends who complement that energy and enjoy a good, balanced play session. When playtime winds down, Petey shifts seamlessly into cuddle mode. He loves being near his people—lounging at their feet, hopping into laps, or politely (or not-so-politely) demanding pets. He’s incredibly affectionate, generous with kisses, and strikes that perfect balance between energetic and chill. Petey is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, does well with other dogs and kids, and with some guidance and clear boundaries, we think he could learn to coexist peacefully with cats too. Overall, he’d be a fantastic fit for just about any home looking for a balanced, loving companion to add to their pack. If you’re searching for a dog who can play hard, love harder, and be your constant sidekick, Petey might just be your perfect match.
