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

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.

Grayson

American Bulldog

Male, 6 yrs 2 mos

Cedar Rapids, IA

Size

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

Details

Story

Grayson is a 6-year-old bulldog who came to us as a stray and later returned when his strength proved to be… impressive. Grayson came to us with serious ear infections that we believe have impacted his hearing. If you’ve ever lived with a bulldog, you already know that being politely ignored is basically part of the breed standard.. That said, Grayson does listen… especially when consistency, patience, and snacks are involved. His love language is food (heavy emphasis on the food), which makes him very motivated to work for treats. Because of his past and not always knowing where his next meal was coming from, we do recommend clear boundaries around mealtime and mindful feeding to help him feel secure.Grayson is mostly house-trained and will benefit from a refresher once he settles into a new routine. He enjoys going for walks, hanging out with his person, and will absolutely steal your seat on the couch the moment you stand up. TV time is his time. Personal space is optional.He’s a dog with quirks, character, and a big personality. If you appreciate a bulldog who marches to the beat of his own drum but still wants to be close, Grayson might just be your perfect couch companion.

Moto Moto

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 5 yrs 3 mos

Cedar Rapids, IA

Size

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

Details

Story

If you like ‘em chunky, charming, and confident, you’re about to meet your match. Short, stout, and built like a tank made of mashed potatoes, this round guy is impossible not to smile at!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. Moto is very much a “humans only” Whatever his background was it made him incredibly fearful of other dogs. 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 for all the butt scratches you have to offer. 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. 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. Did I mention butt scratches?
