Story
Zeb joined rescue about two weeks ago. He'd love to tell you about himself! I am very timid and shy when I first meet new people. Once I get to know you.  I am a sweet loving goofball.  I like to fetch inside my my safe home.  When I go outside for walks, the outside world is a big mostly scary to me place.  I don’t think I was exposed to many things as a young man.  When I am comfortable with you inside, I still have just a hint of puppy left in me.  I might jump/or put your fingers in my mouth when I’m excited.  I do not care to be in a crate.  Although I will go in them with little hesitation.  I seem to be house broke.  I don’t have a way of bathroom communication yet.  I just get let out on a fairly regular schedule. I can make it inside without an accident for 8-9 hours.  I do prefer to sleep in a room with people.  I am content on the floor but would probably love to sleep in a person's bed.  I am a known fence jumper.  (4ft) when outside for walks I seem to be timid/scared of car doors, people, and idling cars.  I am getting better when on walks and it does not take as much encouragement for me to keep walking.  I seem to come to my name when I’m not scared. I’m working on sit currently.  My foster family has two cats, and I don’t give them mind.  I don’t have a mean bone in my body.  My reaction is to flee.  I’m also working on car rides. For the most part I’m a quiet dog.  I will bark if someone is entering my home or I see someone outside.  I don’t stand and snoop at the window like my foster sister.  I can also get pretty excited around mealtime.  I seem to share treats and meals fine with the other four legged’s in my foster home.   Zeb is being fostered in Des Moines, Iowa. If you are interested in giving him a permanent home, please complete our adoption application. *Please be sure to read the adoption information page on our website before applying for a dog. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 7, 2026, 1:19 pm

Story
Arrow is a sweet, affectionate boy who settles in quickly and loves being near his people. He’s what we’d call a “velcro dog” once he knows you—happy to follow you around, curl up on the couch, and soak up attention (bonus: he’s a fan of relaxing TV nights). He has a nice balance of energy. He enjoys walks and occasional zoomies, but they’re short-lived and he’s mindful of his surroundings. Most of the time, he’s perfectly content lounging and snuggling.   Training & Behavior Arrow is eager to please and very food-motivated, which makes training a great opportunity to continue building on what he already knows. He currently knows “sit” and has a solid foundation to grow from. Recall: Arrow has good recall overall, especially with praise and rewards. Like any dog, it’s not 100% foolproof, so a secure area or long line is recommended. Leash skills: Walks well on leash but may pull if he catches an interesting scent. He’s responsive and can be redirected easily. House training: When home, Arrow clearly signals when he needs to go out by going to the door and pawing. Crate/alone time: He has had accidents when left alone, likely related to some separation anxiety. This is something his future family should be prepared to continue working on.   Important: Fencing Arrow has shown that he can climb a chain link fence, especially if he’s trying to get to his people. He is not trying to run off—he wants to be with you—but this means a standard chain link fence is not considered secure for him. A privacy fence or supervised outdoor time is strongly recommended.   In the Home Arrow has done well being loose in the home while people are around. He may help himself to “goodies” if they’re left within reach, so a little management goes a long way.   Other Pets & Kids Dogs: He’s done well meeting other dogs and shows great social awareness. He respects boundaries and backs off appropriately when another dog asks for space. Kids: He hasn’t been directly tested with small children yet, but his calmer demeanor suggests he may do well. As always, proper introductions and supervision are key.   Personality Arrow is a loving, easygoing companion who wants to be part of your day-to-day life. He’s affectionate, observant, and adjusts well to the energy around him—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood or a quiet night on the couch.   Arrow is being fostered near Red Oak, Iowa.

Story
Meet the Lucky Litter—a group of adorable, happy-go-lucky pups who are getting ready to find their forever homes! These little charmers are being raised in loving foster homes where they’re busy learning all the important puppy basics—like playing nicely, exploring the world, and discovering just how great humans can be. Like all puppies, they are full of curiosity, personality, and just the right amount of mischief. They’re learning about toys, routines, and how to be the best companions, and each one is already starting to show their own unique quirks and favorites. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or snack time, these pups are all in. They will be ready for adoption mid May once they’ve been spayed/neutered, and their foster families are working hard to make sure they’re set up for success. Their future families should be ready for all things puppy—training, patience, laughter, and lots of love. Freckles is a spunky, outdoorsy little adventurer with a serious passion for yard work—especially if it involves leaf piles, dandelion puffs, or “helping” with lawn care. Dethatching? She’s basically a professional at this point. Freckles would be happiest with a fenced yard to safely romp in as she grows; apartment life would not suit her. She’s playful, curious, and just a little mischievous in the most endearing way. Freckles fully believes that all toys are community property—especially her brother’s—and has no problem claiming them as her own. With her fun-loving spirit and confident personality, Freckles will bring laughter, energy, and just the right amount of chaos to her forever home. If you’re looking to add a little luck (and a lot of joy) to your life, one of these pups might be your perfect match. Freckles is a female English Pointer/All-American Rescue mix (our best guess of breed) who was was born approximately 2-6-26. She is spayed, age-appropriate vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, given flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Adoption fee is $575 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care. ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website. Our Adoption Team will respond via email from DollysLegacyAdoptions@gmail.com once you have completed an application. If a pet is still listed, it is not yet adopted as we update daily.

If you’re looking to add a little luck (and a lot of joy) to your life, one of these pups might be your perfect match. Now let’s talk about Patrick—this laid-back little guy is the perfect mix of playful and chill. He’s currently learning fetch and is pretty sure it’s the best game ever invented. When he’s not playing, Patrick is all about the cuddles and enjoys his downtime just as much as his adventures. He’s also a bit of a trendsetter—usually the first to discover new toys and proudly parade around with his prize… until one of his siblings tries to claim it, at which point he’s more than happy to steal it right back. Fair is fair. Patrick is a sweet, easy-going pup who will thrive in a home that appreciates both his playful side and his love of relaxing close to his people. Patrick is a male English Pointer/All-American Rescue mix (our best guess of breed) who was was born approximately 2-6-26. He is neutered, age-appropriate vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, given flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Adoption fee is $575 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs.
