Story
Meet Rico, he is 8 years old and 40 lbs. (he can lose some weight)… His owner has cancer and can longer care for him so he is looking for a new place to love him through the next chapter of his life.  Rico is a handsome Aussie/Terrier mix of sorts! If he was a food order he would be ordered as one medium floof nugget, with a side of smiles- tail waggin sized, with all the dippin sauces of happiness. This guy has grins that just won‘t quit, loves him some car rides, enjoys being bribed with treats for tricks, isn’t much of a kisser, and relishes all the attention he deserves to receive. Rico is easy to love, gets along great with dogs and and kids. He walks good on leash and is housebroken and crate trained. He is a true gentleman and is ready for that special person(s) to give him his well-deserved furever home. He is waiting to meet you! Neutered, heartworm tested, recent dental, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption!  He is hit and miss with cats so a calm cat that does not do much he would have less of an issue with.  An active cat that will hiss and get in his business is not a match.  To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $100 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs.  We do not ship dogs.   All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.November 5, 2025, 6:43 pm

Story
Fostered in Sioux City.   Name- my foster Mom is calling me Lucy and I seem to like it! Age- 3ish Breed- mini Aussie What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? A breeding facility Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? I love all the people I've met so far! My foster mom is my fave so far. Are you good with kids? Not kids tested yet, but I would probably overwhelm a little one. Bigger would be better. What age ranges? 10+ Are you good with other dogs? I have a much older foster sister, so she doesn't want to play with me. I think I'd love another dog to match my energy! Are you good with cats? I bark at the cat, but we haven't met face to face yet. Are you housebroken? Working hard on it! I'm smart so it shouldn't take long What is your current potty routine? Lots of potty breaks when FM is home. I haven't had any accidents in my kennel. Do you like car rides? I did fine in the car, but she wouldn't let me sit on her lap, what's that all about? Do you like walks? When it warms up a little we will see. I think as long as my person is with me I'll be happy! I have a lot of energy to burn off, so I bet I will love them! How are you on a leash? I did fine getting to and from the car! Do you like toys? What's that? Lol just pet me already! What is your favorite toy? Do you know any commands/tricks? I sit on command and am learning not to jump How are your house manners? I get so excited with people I jump on them, we are working on it! Describe your personality- I am super sweet and affectionate and will be your shadow if you'll have me! ♥️ I'm either going 90 mph or dozing on the couch. Describe your perfect home- I LOVE attention from people, so the more to give me pets, the better!

Story
Fostered in Sioux City Name Buddy (male) Age: 1ish years old Breed: Austrian shepherd What was your life like before NDCB/where did you come from: I came from a home with 40 other dogs. Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My foster dad. Are you good with kids? They make me a little nervous but with time I will warm up to them. (Kids are 5 and 3) Are you good with other dogs? Yes, I have a 8 year old American bulldog (female) and a 8 year old male terrier. I enjoy playing with both of them. Are you good with cats? Yes there is a 7 year old tabby cat named Rikky Bobby I don’t bother him. Do I like car rides? I have only been twice with my foster family. I’m a little nervous but could get use to riding in a car looking around. Do you like walks? We have not gone on any walks yet. How are you on a leash? Not much practice it with time and patience I will enjoy. Do you like toys? Yes I love playing with ropes. And I do enjoy sneaking away with my foster mom’s socks. Do you know any commands/tricks? I’m still pretty shy working on commands. How are your house manners? I still will pace back and forth but every day gets less and less. I don’t get on the counters or garbage. I sleep all night in my kennel. I am warming up to my foster parents at my own pace. I will need a fence so I can run around. I am super unique with my stunning baby blue eyes 💙💙
