Story
Chandler is a curious little busy body. He loves checking out new things and is always on the go or playing! He is extremely funny and entertaining but also has a sweet, cuddly side.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.

Meet Riley! He's a 2 year old chihuahua/terrier mix. He weighs 13 pounds. He gets along with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. He is, however, very timid. He is going to take work. He came from a hoarding situation and does not trust people. He's gotten better since he's been with us but is still shy. He's not a biter, just a runner. He will be a great dog for the right person. His adoption fee is $175.00. Please call us at 641-828-7387 for more information or to make an appointment to meet him. October 25, 2024, 6:25 pm
