Details

Story
Sheba is a 5-year-old pit bull with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She absolutely adores her humans and loves to “talk” to them while playing with her favorite toys — but she’s also got a strong independent streak and enjoys her alone time, too. Sheba does well with male dogs, as for cats she seems curious, but not aggressive! Due to her tendency to be protective over her toys and belongings, she’s looking for an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy kids. Outside, Sheba is full of energy and joy — nothing makes her happier than getting the zoomies and running around in the yard! Thanks to a generous sponsorship by Prairie Plans Asset Management in Spencer, IA, Sheba’s adoption fee is fully covered — all she needs now is the right home. If you’re looking for a smart, fun, and loyal companion with a little sass and a lot of love to give, Sheba might be your perfect match. Contact peopleforpets.director@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Sheba!

Story
Meet Harold! Harold is a 5–6-year-old pit bull mix with a heart of gold and manners to match. This well-behaved gentleman knows all his basic commands and even shows off with fun tricks like “spin” and “speak.” Harold is wonderful with kids and would thrive in a family environment where he can share his sweet, goofy personality. He gets along well with female dogs, but he's not a fan of cats. With his calm demeanor and affectionate nature, Harold is truly an amazing boy looking for a loving forever home. Harold can be protective of food and treats, so that is important information for the potential adopter to know, and know how to manage.

Story
Meet Beans! If you're looking for a pup with just the right mix of pep, personality, and pure love — Beans is your guy! This 3–4-year-old pit bull mix is a bundle of joy wrapped in a shiny coat and powered by tail wags. Beans is full of energy and always ready for a good time, but don’t let that fool you — he’s also well-behaved and knows his basic obedience. Whether it's a game of fetch, a brisk walk, or just hanging out with his people, Beans is all in. He adores his humans and thrives on attention and affection (he might think he’s a lap dog — and who are we to argue?). He's great with other dogs, and while he hasn’t officially met a cat, he seems curious. Beans is also good with children, though he may be a little shy with them at first — but once he warms up, he’s all smiles and snuggles. If you're looking for a happy, loyal, and downright lovable companion, Beans is ready to bounce his way into your heart. Contact us at peopleforpets.director@gmail.com to meet Beans and bring home your new best friend!

Story
Meet Finn! This sweet man came to us as a stray at the start of December 24' so unfortunately we don't know too much about his history but we do know that he knows sit, shake and loves treats! Finn is very well house trained and he has quite a bit of energy in him despite his age! We have not tested him with cats or other dogs yet but we do believe he would be good with dogs who are a little bit calmer. We think he'd be a good fit for most households but would prefer setting up a meet. If you are interested in this handsome man please fill out an application and hopefully find another addition to your family!

Story
***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the adoption application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This sweet older gentleman is Steeler.  He found himself in a kill shelter with 2 other dogs that he had lived with after their owner had been incarcerated.   The shelter was asking for assistance in moving dogs out and everyone had been chosen except for Steeler.  Seeing this older guy in a shelter for so many months and then facing euthanasia because there's just not enough homes and too many dogs just hurt our hearts.  So Steeler had the journey into our foster care and now he is hoping for the journey to end with an adoption into a home of his very own.  He is a sweet gentle boy that would love to go on a walk, take a nap or watch a movie with you.  He can hang out with other dogs but he's also good just chillin on his own.  Steeler is a little too excited around the felines so a home with out cats is ideal.  He is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped.  His adoption fee is $150.00 and he would love nothing more than to hang out with you. September 12, 2025, 10:38 pm

Story
Meet King – A Special Soul with So Much Love to Give King has been through more than his fair share since arriving at our shelter. After a series of tests, we discovered that King has a rare congenital condition called atresia ani—a narrowing of the anus that makes it difficult and uncomfortable for him to defecate. Because of this, King requires a home where he can be taken outside every 3–4 hours and receive daily medication along with a special diet to help manage his condition and keep him comfortable. On top of his medical needs, King prefers to be the only pet in the home—he's not a fan of other dogs, cats, or young children. But don’t let that fool you—King is full of love, personality, and playful energy. He adores deflated soccer balls and loves to run around proudly carrying them in his mouth. When he’s done playing, he’s just as happy to curl up beside you for snuggles and soak in all the affection you have to offer. King would thrive in a quiet, stable home—maybe with a retired couple or someone who’s home most of the day and has the heart and patience to care for a truly special boy. He’s been overlooked for far too long, but we know the right person is out there. Could you be the one to give King the love and comfort he so deeply deserves
