Story
Pip is full of energy 25lb mini Aussie! She’s loving, funny sometimes rebellious if not given enough attention. She just turned 1 years old. She is due for shots here soon. She loves to have chew toys and bones, she knows how to do commands , sit, stay, lay, kennel, jump and no. She’s kinda cooped up with all this energy - it isn’t ideal for her. My sons have jobs they are now working , along with me working and all 3 of us busy with lives , she’s hardly outside or even out of her kennel and it’s just not fair for her! She gets a little feisty around other female dogs I will say- but I’m not sure if it’s her wanting to play or claiming dominance. I haven’t explored further with that one. We need someone to love her like we do but with the time we don’t .

Story
Flint is a big-hearted hound mix who’s all about love and giving hugs! Like his siblings, Sasha and Flapjack, Flint came from a home full of dogs and has kept that social, playful spirit. He especially enjoys romping around in the runs with his brother, Flapjack, and they love to wrestle. In playgroups, he was a little scared of other dogs at first, but he did end up opening up. A meet-and-greet with all humans and furry friends is required to make sure it’s a perfect match. He would do best with a confident dog, so he can see that the world isn`t so scary. He has not had the opportunity to meet with a cat, but he ignores small dogs, so he might be okay with a cat sibling. While not quite as vocal as his brother, Flint still has plenty to say and will happily chat with you in his own way. Due to this, he would do best in a home without shared walls. He’s playful and energetic, but what he really loves is when someone sits down and gives him some good, old-fashioned pets. He`ll even pet you back! He definitely loves attention and won`t say no to a good cuddle and a brush. Flint would do best in a home where he gets both playtime and plenty of affection. He would do best in a home without small children, as he does have a habit of being a little handsy. We believe that Flint was kept outside for most of his past life, so he will need some assistance with his house manners, basic skills, and some durable chew toys. Stuffies are no match for him! Like most hounds, Flint loves to follow his nose for new scents and will pull on the leash if he smells something good. We are working on his leash skills, but he will need to continue his training once in his new home. He does well being in a kennel and is beginning to learn a few basic commands, but like most hounds, he is a bit stubborn and will do almost anything for a snack.If you would like to know more information about him, feel free to use the `Contact Us` page, call to ask more, or fill out an adoption application on our website. Information about Flint may change as we get to know him better.

Story
This beautiful hound mix is a total lovebug who adores attention and wants nothing more than to be near her people. Sasha finished her job as a devoted mama to a litter of puppies, and they have all found their forever homes. She is hoping it is her turn!She came to AHeinz57 with her two brothers (Flint and Flapjack) after living with many other dogs. Before coming to us, we believe that Sasha spent most of her time outside, so she isn`t quite familiar with being in a home environment. In her previous foster home, we learned her hound nose did lead her into getting into things she shouldn`t, so she did have to be kenneled during the night. While she was not fan of walking into the kennel, once she was inside of one, she would calm and sleep. Like most hounds do, she loves to hear herself sing at random times so a home without shared walls would be best. She has done well in playgroups and loved to play with her foster siblings, however, a meet-and-greet with all humans and furry friends is required to make sure everyone gets along just right! However, she does think that cats and other livestock type animals are just fun toys, so a home without cats and livestock would be best. Sasha doesn`t seem to mind smaller dogs. She is still working on her leash skills, but she is improving! She has had the opportunity to meet with a few families with younger children at events and seems to understand that she should be gentle with little ones. However, you may need to keep an eye on her - she likes to give hugs :)Sasha is just a young girl that is looking for a family that can be patient with her as she learns the ropes of living in a loving home and learning new basic skills. If you would like to meet with her, ask to schedule a time or fill out an application online if you are interested in giving this girl her forever home! Information on Sasha may change as we get to know her better.

Story
Penny is a sweet, smart, high energy girl who absolutely loves people! She is the kind of pup who wants to be right in the middle of whatever you are doing and is always ready for her next adventure.One of Pennys best qualities is how quickly she settles into her kennel. She does very well with kennel training, settles down nicely, and even sleeps through the entire night without any accidents! She is also potty trained and doing great with her routine, making her transition into her forever home that much easier.Penny is incredibly smart and would thrive with a family who enjoys keeping her busy, whether that is walks, playtime, training, or enrichment activities. She has plenty of typical puppy energy, so an active home would be a great fit for her.Like many young puppies, Penny is still learning her manners and can be very mouthy when she gets excited or wants to play. Her mouthing is playful, typical puppy behavior and is not aggression. She loves to play and interact with people, including children, and does well with kids. She will just need a family who understands that puppies explore the world with their mouths and is willing to continue helping her learn appropriate ways to play.Penny is eager to learn, very food motivated, and already showing how smart she is. With continued training, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement, she is going to make an amazing companion!If you are looking for a fun, affectionate, intelligent pup with a big personality and lots of love to give, Penny might just be your girl!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
Reuben came to us through Des Moines Animal Rescue League. My wife fell in love with him and he bonded with her. He is a gentle dog, though he can also be playful. We have four dogs and four cats and he gets along with all of them. We raised chickens for almost a year. We used him to herd the chickens back into the coop. He was very good at it. The chickens would see him come into the yard and would go into the coop on their own. He was very proud of his work. My wife is having health issues that require more of my time. She has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, which is a neurological disorder. As a result I need to streamline my life to take care of her needs. So it is with great reluctance we are seeking to rehome Reuben. He loves the outdoors. We need to take him outside frequently during the day. He should be in a home that has a fenced in yard. He would make a good farm dog, as he thoroughly enjoys the outdoors.
