Story
Mickey, Mickey, you're so fine! This absolutely adorable little gentleman is in search of his forever family. Mickey is not only gorgeous with a soft and shiny coat, but he is attentive and loving. We predict that he will be a snap to train because of his consistent interest in being with "his person" and his habit of looking for guidance. He loves to romp and play and is food motivated, but he also seeks out lovin's. Micki and his littermates came to Iowa from an overwhelmed shelter in Texas when they were very small. Mickey's loving spirit helped him to not only survive but to thrive. He is now healthy and, like we said, gorgeous!

Story
Meet chill, sweet Willie! This guy came to Iowa from an overwhelmed shelter in Oklahoma, and you have the good fortune of meeting him after lots of housetraining and learning other manners! He is a loving guy who likes to cuddle and knows 'sit' and 'kennel'. His favorite activities outdoors are chasing balls and sunbathing. His adoption fees are SPONSORED, but we do require an application and a conversation to seal the deal. This great companion fella is chipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations, too! What a great package! Willie should only be with dog-savvy cats. He doesn't try to hurt them, but he may jump on them or overwhelm a cat. However, we have found that Willie really needs a companion dog who will play with him! We'd recommend a family with another dog for Willie.

Meet the sweetest little Rose of Texas! This adorable girl has arrived from an overwhelmed shelter in the Texas panhandle.

Hey, terrier lovers! Happy little dancer Maxi might be just the perfect pup for you! At just about 15 pounds, adorably fuzzy Maxi is a sweet, happy package of terrier spunk and fun. Although skittish at first, she warms up VERY quickly with a gentle approach. Maxi has overcome a tough start at an overwhelmed shelter, but now, her medium-short coat is soft and lovely. She is fully vetted and ready to become your very best pup friend!

Story
Check out this handsome guy! Wally was surrendered to us when his owners were unable to keep him and his 3 other pup friends who have found new homes now! He is a 1.5-year-old Spaniel/Pit mix. He still has a lot of puppy energy, but he is on the smaller side, just over 30 lbs.! Wally is looking for a home without kitties but could possibly be placed in a home with another dog with slow introductions. He would do best with a bit more submissive dog. Wally loves to play in water, fetch toys, and zoom around. He is fiercely loyal and loves his human. While he is ready for any and all adventures, he also loves to snuggle up with you and relax while getting some pets. He never misses a meal and prefers all of the treats! He is a chewer and enjoys Nylabone's and other tough dog toys...although, he will always succeed in destroying them. Wally definitely could benefit from more one on one training teaching some basic skills. He’s working on potty training and boundaries in his foster home! He’s a goody and friendly dog who’s sure to bring a lot of joy your way. He LOVES to go on walks and does excellent on a leash!

Story
Marshall is an 8-year-old gentleman with a heart full of love! Recently transferred from another shelter, he’s settling into his new life and showing just how sweet and friendly he is. Marshall enjoys spending time with people of all ages and has a calm, gentle nature that makes him an easy companion. While Marshall’s past wasn’t the easiest—spending his days crated and neglected—he’s now in a much better place, happy, healthy, and ready to find his forever family. He loves playing with toys and has a joyful, playful side sure to steal some hearts. Marshall would thrive in a home that can offer him love, attention, and stability. He does well with people but would need a proper meet-and-greet to ensure a good fit with another dog. Unfortunately, he cannot live with cats. Marshall’s adoption fee is $175 and includes his neuter, microchip, heartworm test and prevention, flea and tick prevention, and dewormer. If you're looking for a loving, loyal companion, Marshall is waiting to meet you! You can apply to adopt Marshall at agcshelter.org/adopt-1 and look for our online adoption questionnaire. Or, you can stop by to meet him Tuesday-Saturday from 1pm-4pm!
