Story
My wife and I adopted Deuce from a humane society in Iowa state. His name was Joshua because I wanted a junior but on the way home, he took a number two on my wife twice. So I immediately changed his name to Deuce. His birthday, is February 25th 2023. He has been a great dog. But over the past 8 months, he has became very distant and skittish. I have no clue what is wrong with him. Deuce has never been abused, he is loved dearly. He snuggles with his family and his fur brothers both cat and dog. Deuce seems like he has high anxiety, hes always on alert thinking he hears or sees things that the other dogs don't respond to. I think he would be happier in a home with minimal foot traffic, less people, pets, and stranger's coming in and out. He just needs a quiet home with a big yard and a couple who love to snuggle and go on walks.

Story
Hi, Im Lucy! Im a really good dog that has graduated from 8 weeks of puppy essential training! Other commands I know are: heel, sit, off, down, place, wait, go (when she needs to leave a space),stay, &kennel. My owners say Im VERY smart & like to learn new tricks. Im even bell trained when I need to use the bathroom. I have some really great qualities but I do have anxiety & find myself a little too nervous to be around children who do not understand boundaries. I’m looking for a calmer home with no children for my own wellbeing & relaxation, not due to aggression towards kiddos. Other than my human family, I live with 2 cats & do well with leaving them alone. I’m also really good at taking my anxiety pills with peanut butter. I can get scared & bark at those passing by my home, but I do listen when Im told to be quiet. I could use more socialization with other dogs, I find dogs bigger than me a little scary. Though I have big feelings, I am a really great dog! Id love to meet you!!

Story
This is Easy girl. Shes just a little over 6 year old Mini Aussie/Heeler mix we've had since she was a puppy. This has been a tough decision lately but my husband and I have decided it would be best for the house hold if we tried to find her a better home. Shes the most active in the house and would love a big property to run around and roam or a more active owner. She has some bored destructive behaviors because of her breed. Shes very sweet and loves people. Listens very well. I have her off leash whenever its possible. We're behind on shots but she's a healthy dog, maybe a little fat but that could easily get turned around with a little more exercise

Mutt

Sioux Falls, SD
Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Bruce was found as a stray when he was 6 months old. Rehoming has been near impossible. Hes been with me for years now and I was never really in a good place to keep him. He is very sweet and full of love. He prefers women. When he was found, the vet said both his hind legs had been broken and healed on their own. He is extremely loving. He just wants to cuddle and love. He likes adventures and does well on a leash, but doesnt have the best recall. He was found right after I became a mom. Ultimately he needs more that I cannot provide. He also has a female he's been with who needs rehoming as well. Hes not aggressive towards people. He likes other dogs, but tries to be big boss and dominant. He does not do well with other animals as he has a high prey drive. But hes done well with farm animals like chickens and pigs. Hes a power house, just a little gimpy. Hes brave. Funny. Sweet. A wonderful boy.

Story
Siggy is 10 years old. Shes very sensitive and sweet. She prefers a mellow household without children, but will tolerate them. Shes up in age and has had some medical challenges recently. She fell down the stairs and suspected slipped disc is what the vet told me. Shes very quiet and rarely barks. Shes good with other animals, shes never hurt anything between mice, gopher, cats, and chickens. Shes curious, but she's also somewhat afraid of cats. However, other dogs seem to be too invasive for her. She's very kept to herself aside from her male companion who has been with her for 7 years who is also listed. She likes playing with people. However does not seem to like her lower back and butt touched by just anyone. She uses her face to talk and is very expressive. She has alright recall and often goes off leash. Shes very friendly to new people. Children do seem to have a bit more energy than she can handle, and she will get moody.
