Story
Some of you may remember Kyle/Kye from his original post back in November where we were hoping to spring him from the shelter in which he had spent his entire life. Well, one of our wonderful fosters offered to take him in, and now, the only thing that would make him even happier is finding his furever home! Kye, brother to Knox, was born 3/31/2022 in an Iowa shelter to a German Shepherd Mix Mama (Daddy is unknown). He then spent his entire life there until last month when he joined our rescue. Against the odds Kye, also known as Kyle, is gentle, calm, sweet and loving. Here’s a bit more about Kye: 45 lbs but could stand to gain a few pounds Gentle Loving Soul Good with kids - Kye has been great with the 4 year old grandchild in his foster home and enjoys playing fetch with him!  Does well on a leash  Good with larger dogs and puppies Doing well on potty training but will continue to need a consistent routine Not a chewer but is still learning what toys are  Since Kye only knew shelter life until recently he will need a patient and understanding family. Transition into a new home and new family may take a bit of time for Kye but he promises to make it worthwhile!  Kye’s adoption fee is $200 which covers his neuter, microchip and up to date vaccinations.  If you’re interested in adoption and are pre-approved please private message us otherwise apply at newleashdogrescue.com ##1886609##

Story
Look at this dapper dude!! Everyone meet Phil. This handsome boy came from a partner shelter of ours in Iowa, where (sadly) he was the only pup left in the litter without adoption interest. So after having been born in the shelter [as the runt of the litter nonetheless] and living the first 9 months of his life there…Phil’s outlook on life was declining. He wasn’t eating, was letting out the saddest cries, and overall had such a depressed demeanor. One of our generous fosters agreed to bring him in and show him just how amazing home-life can be! And as you can tell by his smile, Phil couldn’t be more grateful!! Phil (male) was born on 3/2/23. He is listed as a german shepherd mix, but we aren’t totally sure what his breed makeup is! Being the runt, he isn’t all too large…weighing-in right around 45-50lbs. He is a SWEET boy who was meant to live a life full of snuggles! His favorite place is on his foster mom’s lap, cuddled in tight with his head on her arm or leg. He would love nothing more than to find a forever snuggle-buddy! Phil gets along great with kids and other dogs. He loves to play and wrestle with the younger dog in his foster home! His favorite toys are stuffed animals, but does enjoy toys of all types. He is potty trained and kennel-trained, but does get a bit sad when he’s initially crated.  Phil does tend to gravitate more towards females and children vs males,  but now that he has been in his foster home for a while---he loves both the males and females in the home. Overall, he is so incredibly sweet and just so easy to love. So if you think he sounds like the perfect fit for you, please apply + reach out via private message. Just ask for Phil!  APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!) **Phil’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. ##1941268##

Hello my name is Nova I am a female German Shepherd roughly 5 months old. I am very playful and full of energy. I am very playful and love to be with other dogs I can be very excited so I'd love to have a canine friend that likes to play as well. I have not been around cats before so I don't know how I would do living with them. I am great with kids of all ages and can be very cuddly when I want to relax, I am pretty good at walking on leash for my age as well. I can't wait to find my forever home and find a family who is ready to teach me and give lots of love. ***If you are interested in adopting please start by filling out an application available on our website and email it to us. https://www.couleehumane.com/adopt-an-animal

Story
Alora came to us as a stray and is approximately 5 years old. She is very sweet to people, has great manners, and enjoys hanging out. While Alora does not seem to be fond of other dogs here at the shelter, she may do well with slow meet-and-greets with dogs in her next home. She enjoys her time outside and cherishes the warm weather and fresh spring air. If you are the outdoorsy type of person this girl may be your new best friend!Alora was recently diagnosed with Perianal Furunculosis, treatment went well, but she could have flare-ups that will be need to be treated. “I come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy’s team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle me into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).”

Hi, my name is Picasso and I’m looking forward to finding my forever home! As you can probably tell I’ve had somewhat of a rough go at life, but that all changed when I was rescued while trying to stay dry and warm in a rainstorm 🌧️ Now I’m staying in a house with 5 other dogs and I’m learning how to be a dog myself🐶 My foster parents say I’m respectful, a quick learner, very handsome and an all around good boy👍 I’m pretty laid back, I haven’t quite figured out how to play yet. I’m an early riser, I love getting a jump on the day! At night I lay by my foster dad for a little while then I sleep the rest of the night away in my crate. I’m definitely food motivated! I do need a little extra care, I need medicated baths once every week or so and my ears need to be cleaned out typically once every other week. I have become very social with people and I know I could make a great companion to someone so if you’re looking for a really good boy don’t hesitate to fill out an application!

It’s in the dogs/puppies best interest to be placed into their furever homes in a timely fashion. All household members must attend the meet and greet. We’d like to introduce you to Tiffany. Since coming to our home she is truly blossoming into the dog she was meant to be. She truly enjoys all the freedom of sniffing all the smells outside, romping around with her foster sister and going for walks. Tiffany is working hard on knowing that outside is the place for bathroom business and has been successful thus far. Staying on a schedule and trying to show her humans signs that she needs to go outside has been working so far with only a couple of accidents. She keeps a clean kennel. Tiffany knows that is her safe place. She will go into it easily at night time and often will go lay in it for a nap or to take a break from her foster sister. Tiffany is having a great time playing with her equal sized foster sister, especially on our deck where they have some room to romp around. She’s learning that toys are for playing and chewing, not shoes and socks. Carpeted floors are a great place for napping. Humans give yummy treats and shower me with attention with a nose nudge. We don’t know her full history, but she’d been a resident of a shelter for a long time so it may take some time for her to adjust to new surroundings. Every day she continues to come out of her shell. With treat rewards, she has already learned to sit to get leashed up to go outside and taken off when coming in. She sits for treats after doing her business outside. We are early in the walking on leash game but she has impressed us with how quickly she caught on. Tiffany is still a little timid to sudden moves or loud voices, but she will come to you and love you quickly. She just wants to be a good girl and please her humans and be where they are, whether being right next to them or just in the same room. She can be a snuggler but also likes her space. She’s not an attention hog, actually pretty mellow, but when she wants some loving and gets it, she will be your best friend. Tiffany is ready for adventures and to learn everything there is know about being in a furever home.
