Story

Meet Zola!!Zola is a 5-year-old Chinese Shar Pei Mix who is medium sized but short in stature. She weighs in at around 46 pounds at full growth and has a ton of personality!Hobbies: Zola is a fun, adventurous girl that enjoys playing in the water and chasing after a ball!Personality: Zola is a fun girl with a lot of energy and a definite sweet side! She loves her people with everything she has and loves to show it with the best snuggles to give! Give her your lap and she will give you her heart!Zola would love to be the center of attention and would need to be the only furbaby in the home. Unfortunately, she did have a bad experience with another dog, which left her unsure of others, so we do require her future home to have a fully fenced in yard that is 6ft privacy. This means that apartments and townhomes would not work well for her, but she does appreciate the support in finding her future forever home! A fenced in yard will give her the opportunity to run and play in the safety of her own home. With proper introductions, older children may be better suited for her as young children may still be too overwhelming for her.If you would like to be the person or family that gives Zola a forever home and a lap to snuggle on, please fill out an adoption application online or call to schedule an appointment to meet with her! Please note that some information may change as we get to know her better.

Story

Hi there! My name is Delores,!I am a 9-year-old, medium-sized lab mix that was trying my best to survive living in the forest before AHeinz57 came and rescued me. Living in the forest was not easy for me, so my hard start to life has made me slow to trust people and leery of other dogs, but I have learned a lot since I arrived.The volunteers have described me as shy, sweet, and cautious, but when I see people I know, my tail wags with excitement! I have learned to take treats gently from hands, but I am still hesitant to be petted. I even allowed some of the volunteers to brush me and change my collar, which were big steps that were not so easy for me! I even love fluffy beds and keep my kennel clean. One thing is for sure is that the shelter life is so much better than the forest, but I would still love to be in a home to call my own!Since being here at the shelter, I not only do well with my buddy Howard and have grown closer enough to play with him in the yard, but I have also learned to play nicely with other dogs and may even do well with another dog in the home. Although I have not lived in a home with another dog, it may be a little difficult at first to find the right routine, but as long as I have proper and slow introductions to them, we can learn to get along. I would do best in an adult home since kids are too noisy and loud for me, as I can get scared easily. It will take multiple meetings with me and even then, I might not be the most social, but I promise to love you forgiving me a chance. I do require a fully fenced in yard as it will help keep me safe and secure from wandering away. With the fence being a requirement, an apartment or townhome would not work well for me, but I appreciate the thought of wishing me luck in finding the perfect home for me! Now that the majority of my pack have since been adopted, I hear the volunteers talk about how all of them are doing well in their homes, and how they wish the same for me and my buddy Howard. I would love the opportunity for a quiet, patient, and consistent home that will let me grow at my own pace but will also show me the perks of house living! All of us forest dogs have our little quirks, but that is what makes us special. If you are interested in scheduling a time to meet with me or would like to know more information about me, please fill out an adoption application.Until then, I will be waiting for you and the chance to have a home to call my own.

Story

Hi, I`m Summer Thayer! I was found abandoned in a shed with my puppies fending for ourselves. Because there wasn`t a way for us to get out and get food, I taught myself how to parkour and am now known as an escape artist. I may be smaller sized lab mix, but I can get some air! I make fast friends with everyone I meet, and would love for a home that will let me be a spoiled princess. I would need to be the only pet in the home as I am not a big fan of other dogs or cats. My energy could be a lot for little kids and could scare them, but older children may feel comfortable with my energy. Due to my dislike of other dogs, and my jumping abilities, I will need a 6-foot privacy fence in my forever home.I am very smart and love to learn for some good treats or some wonderful pets. I keep my kennel clean and walk well on a leash. One of my favorite hobbies is tearing up a stuffy and sitting with my favorite volunteers. I really would just love a home where I could be near my people.If you are interested in getting to know more or would like to schedule a time to meet me, please fill out an application on the website or use the `Contact Us` tab to talk to one of my friends!Information on me might change as the staff and volunteers get to know me more :)xoxo, Summer!

Story

Meet Reno!Tired of flying solo, this fun-loving boy is looking for someone to show him the good life.Deets: Terrier Pitty Mixalicious!Measurements: Big handsome head, slim waist & long waggly tail. Little known fact about Reno: He was an Olympic high jumper in a past life.M.O.: Breaking hearts and taking namesBio: Reno came in as a stray from West Des Moines and was never claimed. Reno has a friendly personality and is full of energy. We do believe he has hidden springs on his feet and likes to leap up to say hi, so we are working on “4 on the floor” with him. Ideal match: We are still getting to know Reno, but we do know that he is a friendly boy who loves to be active and would love a home that gives him a lot of exercise and structure. Proper intros to all family members (hooman and other doggos) is always required for all of our dogs to make sure it’s a great match. He has not met any children since he came into our care, we would be happy to host a meet and greet. We do not know what he thinks about cats, but we would cat test if someone has met this guy and wants to adopt him.If you would like to be the one to partner up with this handsome guy, please fill out an application on our website or come on in and meet him!Information on Reno may change as we get to know him better.

Ameera

Border Collie

Female, 10 yrs 5 mos

DeSoto, IA

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet Ameera!Ameera is a 10-year-old Border Collie that currently weighs about 52 pounds fully grown! Ameera can be shy during her meets, so she will need multiple greetings to feel comfortable enough to trust. But once she has the opportunity to get to know you, and become a part of your family, she would love to cuddle with her favorite humans. Ameera does well with dogs, cats, and even pigs, but will still need to have proper introductions to any resident animals living in the home to make sure that it is a great match. Ameera would do best in a home without resident or visiting children, as she can get overwhelmed by fast movements and loud noises. Because Ameera still has a hard time trusting people that are new to her, lots of frequent visitors can be really scary for her and would not be the best fit. Due to this reason, Ameera would require a 6ft tall, fully fenced in yard. This will not only to help her get the exercise she needs without having unneeded stress, but to also make her feel protected in her home. Ameera is also a very smart and well-mannered dog, and she sure knows quite the skills! She has learned commands such as `sit`, `down`, and `off`, she is crate trained for bed and is even housebroken! Ameera is a dog that loves to be on furniture and would love to take naps on couches, so a home that is okay with furniture surfing would definitely be the home for her! While there are things she can be confident in, there are still some things that Ameera considers to be too overwhelming for her, that most other dogs love. Those things are car rides, going on walks somewhere where she is not familiar, and especially meeting people inside of her space/home. Even though Ameera may have lots of people who love her and take great care of her at the shelter, living in a shelter is stressful for dogs like Ameera and she would love to be in a permanent home that is willing to provide her with the patience and the consistency she needs to be successful.If you would be interested in knowing more information about Ameera or potentially scheduling a time to meet with her, please fill out an adoption application on our website. Please know that some information may change overtime, as we get to know her better.
