My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bocephus is a 2 year old male Black Labrador Retriever/Pit mix. Bocephus is still in his puppy mode and has plenty of energy for an active home, one with a fence he can get his zoomies out once in a while. He likes to go for walks, but has no idea he is pulling you around as he is super strong. Bocephus needs a home he can learn how to be a good boy, and take the time he needs to get to be the best boy he can be. He is super smart, soft and sweet, with a bit of direction he would be happy! Our adoption hours are Tuesday-Friday 3-6PM and 1-5PM on the weekends. We are located in Burlington, Iowa. All dog adoptions include a health exam, Rabies, DHPP and Distemper vaccinations, Heartworm check, Sterilization and post surgical pain medication.

More about this shelter

We are a animal shelter that is run off of donations, that does intake from the city/county in Des Moines County Iowa. Once the animal has not been claimed we put said animal out on our adoption floor and they are now looking for their new furever homes. Dogs and cats that have been left behind are usually pretty sad at first, so we give them the love and support they need. Each one is different in their needs, whether we have to play with them daily or spend more time letting them trust new people, each has their own ways of coming out and making themselves into the best companion you will meet! We do this to be the animals voice and learn what we can to make them successful in their new homes. All these pets need love, and we will give that to them!
