Story

This handsome boy is a medium-sized sweetheart with long legs, floppy ears, smooth fur, and the prettiest eyes you ever did see. At first, Alvin can be a little reserved, but once he feels comfortable, his gentle and happy personality begins to shine. Alvin is an independent guy who enjoys taking life at his own pace. He may not be the first one to rush up and demand attention, but that makes his quiet companionship all the more special. He is looking for someone who will give him the time and patience he needs to settle in and show you who he really is. This boy already knows sit, walks nicely on a leash, takes treats politely, and enjoys a good bone. He gets along with other dogs and would do well with children ages 7 and up who understand how to give a dog space when needed. Shelter life has been a little stressful for Alvin, so he is ready to trade the kennel for a comfortable home where he can relax, build confidence, and enjoy the simple things in life. His calm, gentle nature makes him a wonderful candidate for a first-time dog owner. If you’re looking for a sweet companion with beautiful eyes, a soft personality, and just the right amount of independence, Alvin may be the boy you’ve been waiting for. Come meet him and give this deserving guy the chance to show you how special he is!

Story

Are you looking for that classic Black Lab personality? If so, Deacon is everything you’ve been looking for! At 3.5 years old, this handsome Black Lab mix has a sleek, shiny coat, a strong and healthy build, and an enthusiasm for life. Wherever the fun is happening, you can bet Deacon will be ready to join in. Deacon’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. He was originally brought to a shelter in Texas in December 2024 and spent over a year there, becoming their longest resident. As his time was running out, he got a second chance when he was transported tp Iowa to find the loving forever home he truly deserves with out the risk of time running out. This boy loves to play, whether it’s with people or other dogs, especially those who can match his size and energy. He may need a controlled introduction to new canine friends, but once he realizes they’re ready to have fun, his playful spirit shines instantly. Deacon is also a smart boy who knows sit and down. He enjoys learning, especially when there’s a little fun involved, and he’s always ready to show off his skills. He loves car rides and enjoys the water, making him the perfect adventure buddy for someone who wants a dog to join in on life’s outings. With people, Deacon can be a little shy at first, particularly around men, but give him a toy or a few treats, and you’ll quickly see his walls come down. Before long, he’ll be leaning his whole body into you, soaking up affection and asking for more ear scratches and butt rubs, his absolute favorites! Deacon is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to a home. He would do best with children who are old enough to understand and respect his boundaries. After spending most of his life as a stray and in a shelter, Deacon is ready to finally experience what it means to be apart of a family. He’s looking for a family who will embrace his playful nature, continue building his confidence, and give him the happy, secure life he’s been waiting for. If you’re ready for a loyal companion, an adventure buddy, and a dog who will love you with his whole heart, Deacon is your guy!

Charlie

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 7 yrs

Monticello, IA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Charlie is a gentle, sweet girl who is ready for a much quieter and happier chapter of her life. She came to Animal Welfare Friends after being seized from her home when her owners were arrested. We cannot change what Charlie has been through, but we can make sure the next part of her story is a good one. Charlie is calm, affectionate, loyal, and easygoing. She is the kind of girl who is perfectly happy curling up on the couch or climbing into your lap for some quiet time. She knows sit and shake, takes treats nicely, and walks well on a leash. She also gets along with other dogs. Shelter life has been stressful for Charlie, and she can become anxious and overwhelmed in this environment. Once she is in a calm, quiet home, we believe she will have a much better opportunity to relax and let her sweet personality shine. She keeps her kennel clean and would do best in a quiet home with children ages 7 and up. Charlie does not need a busy lifestyle or a family looking for a dog who is constantly on the go. She is looking for something much simpler: a comfortable couch, a peaceful home, a little patience, and someone who will give her the time she needs to feel safe. If you are looking for a calm, affectionate companion who would happily spend her days by your side, Charlie may be the girl for you.

Redd

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 7 mos

Monticello, IA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Redd is a happy, goofy boy who has been given a second chance, and we are so grateful he was surrendered instead of euthanized. After an incident involving a neighbor's dog, Redd's previous owners were given the choice to euthanize him or surrender him to AWF. They chose surrender, giving Redd the opportunity to find a home that understands him and is willing to help him succeed. And what a lucky choice that was, because Redd is such a fun dog! He is affectionate, loyal, intelligent, and always ready for his next adventure. He knows how to sit, takes treats nicely, walks on a leash, and even catches treats like a pro. When it comes to playtime, he's all in. He loves balls, stuffies, and staying active with his people. He's also got a wonderfully goofy side that is guaranteed to keep you laughing. In fact, Redd will even jump on a trampoline with the kids! Redd has done well with children of all ages and is a wonderful example of just how much personality can be packed into one dog. He is crate trained, house trained, keeps his kennel clean, and has a great foundation of skills. He can get jumpy when he's excited and occasionally forgets his manners, so continued training and positive reinforcement will help him learn appropriate ways to channel his enthusiasm. When it comes to other dogs, Redd is selective. He gets along well with female dogs but can be selective about his male canine companions. He has also been stressed by the shelter environment, so thoughtful introductions and proper management will be important. His new family should be prepared to advocate for him and understand that he doesn't need to be friends with every dog he meets. Redd would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard, daily exercise, structure, and people who enjoy an active, playful companion. He has so much personality and so much to offer, and we are incredibly happy that he was given the opportunity to show us what a wonderful dog he can be. Redd's story could have ended very differently, but instead, he gets to keep chasing balls, playing with kids, jumping on trampolines, and making people laugh. Now he just needs a family who will give him the chance to do all of that for the rest of his life.
