Story
Meet Leonard 💙 Leonard is one of seven puppies born around December 27th to our 37 pound Australian Shepherd mix mama, Frankie. He currently weighs about 9 pounds and is expected to grow into a wonderful medium sized adult. Every litter has a pulse. Leonard is the steady heartbeat. While his siblings are busy inventing new wrestling moves or launching surprise pounces, Leonard is often stretched out nearby, perfectly content, taking it all in with calm curiosity. He enjoys playtime, but he does not feel the need to headline every event. He participates, then gracefully exits before things get too rowdy. Leonard has an easygoing nature that makes him wonderfully adaptable. He is happy to romp with his littermates, happy to toddle off on a little exploration, and especially happy to curl up for a nap when the excitement winds down. If puppies had personalities like music, Leonard would be a mellow acoustic playlist on a sunny afternoon. He is doing well with housetraining, but like all young puppies, he will need close supervision and frequent trips outside as he continues to learn. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he will keep building good habits. Leonard would prefer a physically fenced yard where he can safely explore and enjoy some relaxed puppy zooms. He will thrive in a home that appreciates his calm, steady temperament and is ready to guide him through puppyhood with patience and structure. Leonard is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and has received two of the three required distemper/parvo vaccinations. His adopters will be responsible for his third distemper/parvo booster and his rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age. If you are looking for a puppy with a gentle spirit and a laidback outlook on life, Leonard may be your perfect match. To meet Leonard, please fill out an adoption application at furfunrescue.org. Questions? Email Rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657. Adopters must live within a two hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only. Adoption fee: $300.

Story
Meet Jellybean! Jellybean is a 6 month old, Australian Shepherd mix. She weighs 33 pounds. We expect she’ll mature to around 40-45 pounds, a just-right, easy-to-live-with size. Jellybean is not the bold, busy, center-of-the-party type. She is the thoughtful observer. The puppy who takes a minute to read the room before stepping in . She can be shy in new situations and is more comfortable with women at first, but when she feels safe, her gentle affection starts to shine. Unlike many Australian Shepherd mixes, Jellybean is refreshingly low-key. She doesn’t need constant activity, complicated jobs, or marathon exercise sessions. A calm environment, a predictable routine, and gentle encouragement go much further with her than high-energy adventures. She is both crate trained and potty trained, and she thrives with consistency. Jellybean finds comfort in knowing what to expect. Jellybean would truly benefit from another confident dog in the home. Having a canine companion helps her build confidence and feel more at ease. She loves having a buddy to follow and learn from. She is also starting to really enjoy going on walks and getting out to explore the world a bit. With each outing, her confidence grows, and it’s wonderful to see her curiosity start to bloom. A physically fenced yard is required, not because she’s a wild runner, but because having a secure space to explore safely will help her build confidence at her own pace. Jellybean is not flashy. She is not demanding. She is simply a sweet, sensitive puppy looking for a patient home where she can feel secure and loved. With the right family and a dog friend by her side, she will grow into a deeply loyal and devoted companion. Jellybean is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. If you’d like to meet Jellybean, please fill out an adoption application at www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about Jellybean you can email rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657. Adopters must live within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only. Adoption Fee: $300

Story
Meet Howard 💙 Howard is one of seven puppies born around December 27th to our 37 pound Australian Shepherd mix mama, Frankie. He currently weighs about 9 pounds and is expected to grow into a spirited medium sized adult. If this litter had a daredevil, it would be Howard. He’s the puppy who is first to investigate a new toy, leap into a pile of leaves, or charge ahead on a little adventure. Nothing slows him down—Howard’s curiosity and energy are boundless, and he approaches every day like it’s a new playground waiting to be explored. Howard loves playing with his littermates and will happily lead the charge into puppy romps. He’s confident, outgoing, and thrives on interaction, whether it’s with his siblings, humans, or new experiences. A family who can match his energy and enthusiasm will have a lifelong adventuring partner in Howard. He is doing well with housetraining, but like all young puppies, he will need close supervision and frequent trips outside as he continues to learn. Consistent training and positive reinforcement will help Howard channel his high-spirited curiosity into good habits. Howard would prefer a physically fenced yard where he can safely zoom, explore, and satisfy his adventurous nature. He will thrive in a home ready to provide plenty of playtime, structure, and fun-filled adventures. Howard is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and has received two of the three required distemper/parvo vaccinations. His adopters will be responsible for his third distemper/parvo booster and his rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age. If you’re looking for a puppy who will turn every day into an adventure, Howard is ready to lead the way. To meet Howard, please fill out an adoption application at furfunrescue.org. Questions? Email Rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657. Adopters must live within a two hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA. Indoor homes only. Adoption fee: $300.

Story
Meet Missy, a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd who just might be the prettiest Aussie you’ll ever see. With her stunning tricolor coat and incredibly soft fur, she’s a total head-turner—but her sweet personality is what truly makes her shine. If you looked up “velcro dog” in the dictionary, you’d probably find a picture of Missy. This girl simply wants to be wherever you are. Her favorite place in the world is right by your side—or even better, curled up in your lap. Missy absolutely craves physical closeness and affection, and she’ll happily spend her days giving kisses, snuggling, and being your constant companion. Missy gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys a good wrestle or game of chase in the yard when the mood strikes. She also entertains herself with a bone and loves to sprint around outside when the zoomies hit. She’s equally comfortable relaxing indoors, especially if it means being close to her people. This lovely girl does well with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great fit for many types of families. She is fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and very well-behaved overall—though she may occasionally jump a little when she gets excited to see you. Missy would thrive in a home that wants a loyal, affectionate dog who will truly be part of the family. If you’re looking for a companion who is beautiful inside and out and ready to be your shadow wherever you go, Missy might be your perfect match.
