Marshalltown, IA

Story
Banshee’s story began on someone’s front porch — where she showed up every morning for a week before a kind resident brought her to us, worried for her safety. Once in our care, we discovered that Banshee is deaf. She’s a young, beautiful girl who will need a patient and understanding home ready to meet her special needs. The shelter environment has been very stressful for her, and we’re doing everything we can to make her comfortable while she waits for the right family. Banshee will thrive with someone who can offer calm structure, compassion, and gentle guidance as she learns to navigate the world in her own unique way. Serious adoption inquiries only, please.

Rex is a sweet black Lab mix who came to our shelter as an unclaimed stray, and he’s quickly won us over with his charm.

Rex has done well when interacting with some of our more social dogs, so with the right introduction, he could be a great companion for another friendly pup. Rex is ready to find a loving home where he can play, learn, and shine as the wonderful dog he is!

He’ll thrive in a home that can offer patience, consistency, and the gentle guidance he needs to become the best dog he can be.

Stella

German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 4 yrs 5 mos
Marshalltown, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Stella! This bright, outgoing girl has so much love and talent to offer. She’s incredibly sweet, fully housetrained, and impressively smart — she knows more than basic commands and can even walk confidently on a treadmill! Stella loves enrichment activities and would make a fantastic working dog or adventure companion for someone who enjoys keeping a clever pup engaged. Stella gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having friends, though any home with an existing pet will need slow introductions and a few meet-and-greets to make sure everyone is a good match. Once Stella knows her people, she becomes deeply loyal and protective, so she’ll thrive best in an adult-only home with someone who understands and appreciates her guardian nature. Playful and energetic, she’s always ready for walks, training sessions, and mental challenges. With the right structure and guidance, Stella will blossom into an incredible partner who gives her whole heart to her person. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, microchip, and additional treatments. If you’re looking for a smart, devoted dog who’s eager to learn and bond deeply, Stella might be the perfect fit — come meet her and see what a special girl she is!

Story
Kirby is a 10-year-old Terrier who came to us after being surrendered, and he’s now ready to find a family who will give him the love and attention he deserves. Having spent most of his life living outside, Kirby is now looking for the comfort and security of a warm home with a loving owner. This sweet, loyal boy craves human companionship and would thrive in a calm, quiet home where he can relax and enjoy life indoors. Kirby is dog-selective, so he would do best as the only dog in the home. He’s not interested in sharing his space with other dogs, but he’ll gladly give you all his love and affection. Kirby’s adoption fee covers his neuter, vaccines, microchip, heartworm test, and other treatments, so he’s ready to begin his new life with you. If you’re looking for a calm, loyal companion who just wants a cozy spot on the couch and a human to love, Kirby might be the perfect match for you.
