Story

Meet Teddy (Professional Snuggler, Baby-Binky Bandit, and Future Love of Your Life) Teddy is a 4(ish) year old French Bulldog who somehow survived a very unfair start to life and came out the other side as a total lovebug. Found as an emaciated stray with signs of having spent most of his life kenneled (and likely used for backyard breeding), Teddy is now discovering what it means to be a real dog and he's absolutely thriving. If you’re looking for a dog who will love your kids more than your kids love snacks….congratulations, you’ve found your guy. Teddy is: • AMAZING with children of all ages, including infants. • Gentle, kind, and careful around little people • Known to steal baby binkies and attempt to use them himself (we cannot make this up)! • Fully potty trained. • Quiet, affectionate, wonderfully goofy and a certified lap-player. • Comfortable being home alone for 7–8 hours with puzzle toys and rubber toys. • A burrowing champion who sleeps under the covers until he gets warm and starfishes across the bed. • Young, energetic, eager to please, and always ready for his next adventure. During the day, Teddy enjoys short walks, playing fetch with his beloved tennis ball, and helping clean up crumbs left behind by kids (he considers this a vital household chore). At night, he’s a professional cuddler who believes your bed is also his bed. Teddy loves people, loves attention, and believes every visitor came specifically to meet him. He may jump up to say hello (we’re working on his gentleman manners), but his heart is pure joy. Important Teddy "Fine Print" • Does great with other dogs but prefers to enjoy his food, bones, and toys in his own space. If this can’t be accommodated, please take a moment to reconsider whether Teddy would be the best match for your home. • Absolutely NO kennels. Crates cause him major sanxiety and can risk injury to his teeth (we're certain he spent a significant amount of time confined). • Needs to eat separate from other animas and have access to his own cozy, quiet space. • Needs a fenced yard and careful door management (he’s smart, speedy, and has attempted a few door dashes). • He’s is still leary of baths and will tremble. Gentle, patient spa days are required. • Loves stealing baby and kid toys (he considers them premium treasures). • Cats? He has only met one (that we know of) and didn’t seem interested, but we can’t make any promises. Teddy is smart, silly, affectionate, loyal, and incredibly loving. He wasn't provided the kindness he deserved early in life but he's more than ready to give it.. If your home has room for a snuggle-obsessed Frenchie who will steal your heart (and possibly your baby’s pacifier), Teddy is waiting and ready! Teddy is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, dewormed, and microchipped. Applications to meet Teddy can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/dogs

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Pip is a 4-year old Chocolate Lab and Border Collie mix. I am needing to rehome him due to divorce and no longer being able to give him the life he deserves. Pip was born in Germany in July 2021. He is a good boy and gets along with other dogs and has lived with cats. He goes to the Morgan Creek off leash area often and loves meeting other dogs. He is up to date on all his shots. Pip does have separation anxiety and would do best with a family that has someone who works from home. He would probably love to live on a farm. Please let me know if you have any question or would like to meet him.

Tango

Poodle (Standard) Golden Retriever

Marion, IA

Size

Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I’m Tango — an 8-year-old Goldendoodle with a golden heart, a goofy grin, and a deep passion for belly rubs, road trips, and balls (especially the squeaky kind). In September 2023, I suffered a spinal stroke that left my back legs paralyzed. My family loved me so much, but they knew I needed more care than they could give, so in April 2024, they entrusted me to the amazing team at APL and that’s when my comeback story really began. Since then, I’ve made incredible, unexpected progress. With regular rehab, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and lots of encouragement, I’ve gone from scooting to walking with help, and sometimes even on my own! I can cruise around with and without my custom wheels like a champ, especially if there’s a ball to chase or an adventure to be had. Speaking of adventures, I’m always ready to go. I love car rides, public outings, strolls through the park, and pretty much anywhere my people are headed. I’ll happily roll up to a brewery, hop into a café, or join you for a sunny patio lunch. I’m not picky, as long as I’m included. I also happen to be the world’s most enthusiastic ball-chaser. I may have some mobility challenges, but if there’s a ball in play, you better believe I’m going after it. I’ve got a mean fetch game and the determination like no other. People are my other favorite thing. I’m incredibly social, gentle, and friendly with everyone I meet (kids, adults, other dogs...) I’m just happy to be part of the fun. I don’t chew things I shouldn’t, and I’m always ready to cuddle. I do need a little help with potty time a few times a day, but I’ve even started doing that more on my own lately. The APL crew will show you the ropes, and it’s easier than you might think. I'm looking for a family that sees beyond my different abilities and appreciates my incredible spirit. A household that's patient, loving, and ready to welcome me, despite my need for a bit more care. I promise to reward you with boundless love and joy and be your best companion by stealing your heart from the moment you meet me. If you're looking for a loyal, loving sidekick with a story of resilience, a wag that never quits, and a suitcase packed for life’s next big adventure — I’m your guy. So, what do you say? Want to roll through life with me? Tango is up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, microchipped and neutered. He will come with all his cool gadgets so you can easily take him along on adventures. Applications to meet Tango can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/dogs

Story

If you like ‘em chunky, charming, and confident, you’re about to meet your match. Moto Moto rolled into our care as a stray, and yes—he really does look like his movie namesake. Short, stout, and built like a tank made of mashed potatoes, this round guy is impossible not to smile at! We`re not sure on his breed, but maybe a low-rider bowling ball??The constant kennel life @ the shelter is not a vibe for Moto. It stresses him out and makes it hard for him to show off his true personality. But bring him into an office or a quiet room, and he transforms into a chilled-out sidekick who loves hanging nearby and supervising your Zoom calls. He’s an excellent work-from-home companion—just don’t expect him to type; his paws are… not built for it.Moto Moto is very much a “humans only” kind of guy. Other dogs? No thanks. Cats? Hard pass. Young kids? A little too exciting for him. He’s looking for a calm, committed home with adults or teens who get that he’s a one-and-only king.He does great with both men and women, he’s an all in kind of guy—loyal, goofy, and ready to waddle his way right into your heart. Although being in a kennel during his shelter stay is not his favorite, he does crate nicely when it`s time to clean for the day. If you’ve got a soft spot for a solid-bodied sweetheart with a big personality, & Moto sounds like he might be a match, swing by and meet him today! He may not run fast, but he’ll race to win you over! He`s all about the good life and hopes you are too: belly rubs, baths, and majestic leash walks where he shows off his glorious waddle.

Story

Bella is truly a lady’s lady. She has absolutely shined at baby showers, brunches, and girls’ gatherings, thriving in calm, feminine energy and gentle voices. If you have a soft approach and a big heart for misunderstood dogs, Bella will melt right into you. She can do well with men when introduced slowly and thoughtfully, but we see her happiest when a woman is her primary caregiver. She’s a gal’s gal through and through.She does wonderfully in her kennel, appreciates structure and calm, and is looking for a patient, peaceful home that will let her move at her own pace. Bella needs someone willing to give her time, consistency, and reassurance, because once she feels safe, her affection runs deep.Once Bella is home and comfortable, this active girl transforms into a love-loaded couch ornament. She lives for cuddles and will happily climb into your lap if given the chance. Because she’s a big girl who doesn’t realize her own strength when she’s excited, Bella would do best in a home without small children, not out of meanness, but pure enthusiasm for her people.Bella is ready for long walks, deep cuddles, and a love that starts a little shy but becomes endlessly rewarding. If you’re looking for a loyal companion whose sleepy snuggles might just steal your heart, Bella is waiting to meet you.
