Story

Meet koba! Koba just turned 3 years old (03/21/2023). He is German shepherd, husky, Great Pyrenees, and Rhodesian ridgeback. He is a great doggy and loves to be outside. He is fully trained and knows various commands such as sit, shake, speak, spin, guard, heel, etc. He is an eager to learn breed and is very food motivated, so you could teach him to do anything. He doesn’t get along with cats or other small pets. He is naturally very protective of his family and has never been with anyone but me and my son…we got him when he was 12 weeks. I will be picky where he goes. I want him to go somewhere PERFECT for him and will be charging a fee. He does get along with other BIG dogs as that is what he is used to. He is high energy and loves to go on runs, walks, and road trips. He went with me and my son to various states and did amazing in the car. Please pm if truly interested, again there WILL BE A FEE to ensure you’re a serious, loving, safe, and capable person/ home to take care of him

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

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.

Maple

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 9 mos

DeSoto, IA

Size

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

Details

Story

Meet the Marvelous Miss Maple!Maple is a 6-month-old German Shepherd mix who arrived from Oklahoma with Apple just hours before a deadly cold snap. The shelter they came from is an open facility without full walls, and with the only staff member on leave, conditions were about to become extremely dangerous. These girls were rescued just in time.Maple is a sweet, loving puppy who is friendly with other dogs and enjoys their company. Like many young dogs who’ve spent much of their short lives in shelters, she hasn’t really had the chance to just be a carefree puppy yet. She’s ready to learn what home life is all about — toys, routines, and lots of affection.She’s expected to stay on the smaller side for a shepherd mix and should grow into a nice, manageable medium sized dog. Maple would truly benefit from having an older, confident dog in the home to help show her the ropes and build her skills. Another dog in the home is required for her. She could also be adopted together with Apple if you’re ready for double the fun!Maple is a cute, hopeful little pup ready for her fresh start. Come meet her!

Grace

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 3 yrs 1 mo

DeSoto, IA

Size

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

Details

Story

Grace was a stray outside of Waukee that ran the countryside for a good week or so before being caught. She is a very nervous girl, that would do best in a calm home that does not have a lot of commotion. She is a total cuddle bug and prefers to be at your side or on your lap. She will walk on a leash but is very nervous in the outside world when on a leash. Grace needs a home that is patient and will allow her to go at her own pace in order to feel comfortable. She has quickly become a favorite with many of our volunteers and will not turn down attention and cuddles.
