Story
Hi there - I am hoping to find a loving family that is interested in growing their pack. I’ve had Luna since she was a puppy - adopted from a litter of surrendered farm dogs, a mix of blue heeler and Australian Sheppard. She is bright, energetic, affectionate, and loving - with a lazy streak that misses most working dog breeds. She has been housebroken for years, and plays well with others - including dogs and people. Despite some personal space issues (as in: she prefers not to give it), she’s incredibly well behaved, and has never met a human she didn’t love. Unfortunately, my family has developed an allergy to dogs which forces us to keep Luna penned in the den, away from the rest of the house. While the den is comfortably outfitted, she would love to spend her senior years in a home that can let her join in family movie night and give lots of hugs and snuggles. If you might have room in your heart and home for Luna - please let me know. I would love to arrange a meeting!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Birthdate - September 30, 2019. Very loving pet. Loves people. Needs new home due to my age, 82 years and I fell and broke my hip in 2025. I can no longer walk her in the wintertime. Fenced back yard would be a plus. She eats presciption food due to UTI last year with surgery for bladder stones. She has breakthrough seizures in her sleep occassionally and takes 2 kinds of prescription meds to keep them at bay. She understands many words and can adapt to new routines as experienced last year when I broke my hip. I need to find a loving home which can provide her needs and love her back for the joy she brings. She does not shed but requires grooming 2-4 times per year as you might prefer it. I will provide dog crate for when she is left alone, leash, dog beds, some toys and remainder of current meds and food.

Story
Jackson is young handsome boy looking for a person to throw his ball! Would that be you?  Here are some fun facts about Jack(son)!  -Jackson knows sit, down and roll over. He is super smart and very eager to learn more. -Jackson loves toys- balls, Kong’s, squeaky toys, you name it!! He can entertain himself for hours!  -Jackson is a fun and goofy boy. You will be guaranteed to laugh with him!  -Jackson also enjoys car rides, laying in the sun and giving slobbery kisses!  In the shelter, Jackson was in play group with other dogs. He will need a dog companion to be patient and someone that will show him the ropes! He should be in the house with older children, as he is a big strong boy and no kitties. He is looking for an owner who wants to put as much love into him as he has to give. Can you give Jackson a chance?  Adoption applications can be found at  www.ihadro.org   March 14, 2026, 12:03 am
