Story
Chino aka the doe eyed sweetheart who wears his ears like a hat, is looking for his new family! Chino is a BIG fan of toys and he will make it a personal requirement to always have more at his request. Sometimes a few toys might end up ripped or broken but if you ask Chino, he's not sure how that happens. He is fully potty trained and has done well on walks, even preferring to carry his toys for the entire duration. Chinos big head and loving personality has made him a staff favorite at the shelter so we can all say confidently that you won't want to miss out on this goof! Fill out an application to meet Chino!

Max is the kind of dog that LOVES to make you smile! This goofy boy loves to be the center of attention and wouldn't mind it if you were stuck on the couch all day with him. This big love bug prefers to be only one capturing your eye so he is looking for a home with no other animals/kids so he can be spoiled the way he deserves! If you want a big man with lots of love (and cuddles) to share, put in an application to meet Max!

West Des Moines, IA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
His name is Papa Smurf, but he's got more of a Shrek-in-a-cow-costume vibe. Big ears, bigger heart, and possibly no idea you’re calling his name (he might be deaf, or he might just have selective hearing — we'll never know). He's a black-and-white patchwork of cuddles, clumsy zoomies, and all the sloppiest kisses you could possibly imagine! This big man is looking for someone who loves long walks (at his pace), belly rubs on demand, and doesn’t mind a little drool every now and then, he loves to play but he might do best as the only dog in the home. if you’ve got treats and patience stop by the shelter and meet Papa Smurf!

MEET FORREST Forrest holds a special place in our hearts! Crawling his paralized self to safety only for the public to turn around and treat him like he was a problem. He was never the problem! He knew that if he got himself to safety the right people were going to find him and boy did he get lucky! Forrest was picked up by a rescuer and brought to the vet for attention. He now has a wheel chair and can cruise all over the place! He is living the best life in his foster home and is SO ready to find a home to call his own where he will be loved and treated how a sweet, kind and happy pup like him should be treated!

Story
Meet Ford, a remarkable Bulldog whose presence is as powerful and steadfast as a mighty river. Just like the characteristics of his breed, Ford embodies kindness and courage, showcasing a unique blend of friendliness and dignity. Now you may not see it by looking into his gorgeous brown eyes, but Ford has suffered in his short life.... he came to the rescue from the streets with a HORRIFIC hernia on his back end, near his rectum. He required two surgeries to correct the hernia and allow him to have a normal life again. He came through with SHINING colors ;) With his well-muscled frame and low-slung stature, Ford is the epitome of a true bruiser, but it's his iconic "sourmug" face that represents his unwavering courage and tenacity. Despite his robust appearance, Ford is a docile and loyal companion, adapting seamlessly to any environment, be it the bustling city or the serene countryside. With Ford by your side, you'll experience the unwavering devotion and unmistakable presence of a Bulldog, a breed that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to welcome this incredible Bulldog into your life, as Ford's unique spirit will bring joy, love, and an unmistakable charm that only he can deliver. Some basic information about Ford; he is male, a Bulldog mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Ford is not great with other dogs (or cats or other critters) and would be best in a home with either only adults or older children and as a single dog. But his heart will fill your home with all the love you need!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Jet’s story hasn’t been an easy one. After being adopted, this sweet boy was sadly dumped by his previous adopters and has since found his way back to us. Despite everything he’s been through, Jet’s gentle spirit still shines through. He may be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, you’ll be greeted with his handsome smile that could light up any room! Jet is very sweet guy who loves affection—he’ll never turn down pets, cuddles, or a nice walk. His favorite cuddle position is upside down in your lap! He’s kennel trained, fully potty trained, and rides wonderfully in the car. Jet is looking for a loving, committed family who will give him the security he deserves and never give up on him again. Could that be you?
