Story
Meet Stella! This bright, outgoing girl has so much love and talent to offer. She’s incredibly sweet, fully housetrained, and impressively smart — she knows more than basic commands and can even walk confidently on a treadmill! Stella loves enrichment activities and would make a fantastic working dog or adventure companion for someone who enjoys keeping a clever pup engaged. Stella gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having friends, though any home with an existing pet will need slow introductions and a few meet-and-greets to make sure everyone is a good match. Once Stella knows her people, she becomes deeply loyal and protective, so she’ll thrive best in an adult-only home with someone who understands and appreciates her guardian nature. Playful and energetic, she’s always ready for walks, training sessions, and mental challenges. With the right structure and guidance, Stella will blossom into an incredible partner who gives her whole heart to her person. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, microchip, and additional treatments. If you’re looking for a smart, devoted dog who’s eager to learn and bond deeply, Stella might be the perfect fit — come meet her and see what a special girl she is!

Shiba was a rescue found on the streets back in 2016, this puts her estimated age around 10 years old. She gets along well with our pomeranian, and our oldest husky mix but not our Shiba Inu therefore we are looking for a new home for her where she will get the attention and exercise she needs. She has never had any medical issues and is extremely fit, she knows basic commands and is very well behaved on walks. Message me to set up a time to meet Shiba and see if she will be the right fit for you!

Story
She is just stunning! VooDoo is a 6-year-old shepherd mix*. She is a smart cookie and loves to learn new things. She is great on a leash and would make a great running or walking partner. VooDoo is friendly and loves everyone she meets. She is dog friendly. If you have one in your home, we require a meet and greet to be sure the fit is right. We think she would want to chase a cat so we recommend a home without felines. VooDoo is an energetic girl and we want her to have a fully fenced yard to run nd play in safely. We are just getting to know this beautiful girl so we will add information as we learn more. You can meet VooDoo on Saturdays from 10-2 at Dogs Forever, 809 Rockford Rd SW in Cedar Rapids IA. Please fill out an application using the link provided below prior to your visit so we can learn more about you and your home. https://dogsforever.org/adopting-from-dogs-forever/adoption-foster-form/ *BREED DISCLOSURE: The breed indicated is an educated guess and is not guaranteed.

Story
Meet Zeus! Located in the Des Moines Area **GSDRI is not involved with this dog at all, other than a courtesy listing. Please contact Lori** We are needing to rehome our male GSD. He is almost 4 yrs old; I rescued him from a farmer wanting him as an indoor dog only. He is obedience trained by the best, Holly Leas, All Breed Dog Obedience Training-Neal D Leas in Des Moines Iowa. He understands German and English commands. He has become a bit mouthy around children under 10, so I would recommend a home with older children. He has not been around cats, but he does have a high prey drive so I would not recommend him around cats or smaller pets. He loves the outdoors, snow and water, and most definitely walks. He sleeps in his kennel, although it is not locked, he still prefers it. He is a Velcro dog, and needs an alpha owner, as Zeus tries to be the alpha. Zeus is up to date on vaccinations, and he has been neutered I believe he would do good with another dog; he currently lives with a female dog. He has been around other dogs and kenneled with both male and female dogs. Please reach out if you would like to meet Zeus. To find the best fit his trainer and owner will meet up with you. **Please contact Lori @ #(515) 443-3031 or email: ljanmyers@gmail.com**
