Sadie

Goldendoodle

Female, 6 yrs

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

Story

10/31/25-Available for Adoption: From Foster: Sadie is a 6-year-old female, 30# Mini Goldendoodle, who was surrendered to GRRoIOWA by a breeder. These former breeder dogs spend their lives living in kennels just having litters of puppies until they are around 6 years old. Usually, the breeder dogs come into rescue very scared of everything because they have never lived in a house or have never socialized with people. Sadie was afraid of the car ride to my house and was afraid of everything related to a house, but didn’t seem afraid of people. It took quite a while before she would go through the doorway on her own, but she let me touch her from the first day she was here. Sadie watches my dogs, but doesn’t play with them. She needs another dog in the home that she can learn from, but one that won’t challenge her when eating or chewing on toys, because she will just give in. Former breeder dogs really like a routine, so they know what is going to happen. She sits at the treat cupboard when she knows it is time for her dental chew. When I say we are going for a ride, my dogs run to the car. Sadie followed them, but didn’t know what was going to happen. She hasn’t mastered jumping into the car yet because it is high up off the ground, but she has learned to jump out when we get home. Sadie is a low-energy dog. When she first got here, she was afraid of going outside in the wide-open space, so she would run along the fence all around the yard, 2 or 3 times until she was tired. Now she willingly goes out and investigates all around the yard, but she doesn’t like being outside in the rain or wind. I found out that she can go for 12 hours without going potty, so most nights she doesn’t go out with my dogs before I go to bed. I am still working with her on walking on a leash. The first time it was attached to her, she did the alligator role; now she just won’t move. If I put a harness on her, she freezes in place. Sadie will need a home where she can feel secure. She wants to be by her people or know where they are. She does chew inappropriate things, so things will need to be picked up. She decided she likes the taste of cardboard. She chewed on the box that I had some toys in and ate the cardboard. She is always chewing on chew toys. Sadie is a very sweet dog that will always look like a puppy. If you think Sadie might be a good addition to your home, submit an application today! Forever Home Requirements: *Another calm, confident dog in the home *Cats Unknown *Kids over the age of 8 *Fence optional-need plan to keep her safe Sadie is being fostered in the Twin City, MN vincinity. https://grroiowa.org/adoption-information/

Mama

Cane Corso

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Okay, picture this: a 10-year-old dog with the energy of a toddler after juice, the coordination of a baby deer on roller skates, and the heart of a Hallmark movie grandma. That’s Mama✨✨ Mama is a certified ray of sunshine with some extra-special needs... and let’s be real, they only make her more lovable. Her walk is more “wobble-waddle” than “strut,” and she sometimes needs a little help navigating the world. But don’t you dare tell her she’s not the queen of it... she expects cuddles, snacks, and compliments in that exact order. Despite her slightly sideways gait (which, honestly, should be trademarked for cuteness), bottomless pit of a stomach, and smaller vision field, Mama is one of the happiest creatures on this planet. She’s part dog, part teddy bear, part unintentional comedian. Despite whatever challenges she’s faced in the past, what Mama really wants is a home with someone who sees past her quirks and sees her magic. She lives her life with resilience, grace, and the kind of gentle spirit that makes everyone believe in second chances. Special needs? Yes. Special heart? Absolutely. Apply to meet Mama... she might just be your soulmate in disguise.❤🐾 All dogs and puppies come spayed and neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

HEPPA

Border Collie

Female, 1 yr 2 mos

Ames, IA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

My name is Heppa and I am a black & white border collie/mix. I am a spayed female and I am 1 year old. I am here because my owner had too many dogs on their property. I was a mom to five puppies. I was surrendered with all my puppies. I`m so sad, because everyone adopted my puppies and left me behind. A few people even considered adopting me, but once they met my babies, they chose them over me. Now that my babies have been adopted, I`m READY to go to my forever home!I am potty trained (yay) and I can handle being left in a crate when my owner needs to leave me. I am a medium energy dog and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. I have learned `sit` and do well with basic hand gestures (pointing down to tell me to get down from something, patting your knee to get me to come over) but I would still benefit from simple obedience training to help us bond and for us to learn how to communicate with each other. I do not do well with children, they are scary to me! I can be good with other dogs with a proper introduction, and I cannot live with cats - I think they are something to chase!
