We’ve had Serena since she was a puppy. She is now 7 years old. She is beautiful and so smart. She is exceptionally kind and very mild. Really athletic and loves to play! Kids will love her! She doesn’t bark hardly ever and is a wonderful companion. She is healthy and well behaved. We have never had any problems with her!We can’t take her to our next home, unfortunately. We love her and will miss her so much! We want to make sure she goes to a good home where she’ll get lots of love, exercise and attention. Anybody who gets to have her in their home and with their family will be very blessed. She is such a sweet addition!

Story
My ex rescued him from the shelter. We broke up and now I don’t have a place to keep him. Also I don’t have the time with work. He is very calm he’s not a chewer. Will bark but obedient when you tell him to stop. He’s very affectionate loves to play tug-of-war and loves to go on walks. He will do anything for a treat. Just really content being with his owner. He is kennel trained and leash trained. He’s a very loving dog you won’t regret adopting him.He’s never been around kids so I’m not sure how he does around kids. He is not dog friendly.

Story
Kai is a 4 month old adorable and happy puppy. He is a rottweiler (dad) and pitbull (mom) mix. He is potty trained and crate trained and sleeps through the night without needing to be let out. Kai is super social and loves dogs and people. Walks are his favorite time because he loves to discover new smells, people, and other pets. Kai has been raised around two kids (a 9 year old and a 3 year old). He knows his name and has mastered the commands of sit, come, down. He is working on place, wait, and off. He is also starting to love fetch in the house, but gets easily distracted outside. Kai is comfortable in the car and loves to visit the pet store and new parks.

Story
Hi, my name is Juno and I’m a big loving goofball. I love people and I love to play and take naps. I am not too sure what to think of babies and they kind of make me a little timid. I have a little brother who is crawling around the house and I get scared of him when he approaches me.I do well with other dogs after I meet them in a controlled environment. I am a very easy going and relaxed dog.I have a weird thing about shadows and I like to bark at them.I do well with bigger kids but as I said, I am uncomfortable in a home with small children.We are now located in the Des Moines, Iowa area.
