Story
This handsome hunk is Pluto. He could certainly win America's strongest dog competition. But don't let that fool you, he does have some leash manners. Pluto's motto is "anything you can do I can do too". As a deaf dog Pluto doesn't let it stand in the way of living life to the fullest. Pluto needs someone who will commit to proper training so that he can be his best self. We highly encourage you to research training deaf dogs before you fill out an application. While it may not necessarily be harder, it is certainly different. At this time, we are still trying to determine if he would be good with other dogs. Because he is still working on himself, tiny humans wouldn't be recommended. Pluto is estimated to be about 3 years old. **PLEASE NOTE: We only do meet and greets with dogs by appointment. To meet any dog, you will need to apply and be approved first! **To start the adoption process, please complete our online adoption application at our website http://www.henrycountyhumanesociety.org. We will contact you once your application is approved and set up a time to come and meet Pluto. Filling out an application and meeting Pluto doesn't mean you are required to adopt if you feel it is not a good fit for you.

Story
Beautiful Maya came back to us after being adopted as a puppy. Her adopters were sad to see her go, but we promised them that we'd find Maya the perfect home. Maya is a very fearful gal who will require multiple meet and greets with her adopters to truly feel comfortable. We believe she'd do best in a quiet home without kids under 14. Once Maya warms up to someone, she is a gentle lady who loves cuddles. She loves fetch and bacon-flavored treats. She has some resource guarding tendencies that would be further discussed with any potential adopter.

Story
Meet Ky, an adoptable male dog with a lot of love to give. He's friendly, smart, and playful, and he's learning to trust after being found as a stray. While he's a bit cautious with new experiences and unknown dogs, he's a sweet pup who loves affection once he feels comfortable. Ky is an adult dog who is eager to find a forever home where he can receive love, care, and lots of tasty treats. He's a great listener who is always up for an adventure and is just waiting for someone to give him a chance. If you believe you could be that someone, please consider adopting Ky. He's an all-around good boy who is just hoping for a fresh start and a family to call his own. Who knows, maybe you're just the person he's been waiting for! Ky is estimated to be 2-3 years old. To view our dogs, an appointment is needed as we are short staffed, and our shelter is operating at max capacity. **To start the adoption process, please complete our online adoption application at our website http://www.henrycountyhumanesociety.org.

Story
Bru is a special boy who needs a special home. It can take him a while to warm up, but once he warms up to his people, he is a wiggly, playful boy with lots of love to give! Bru LOVES playing fetch and playing in the pool. Bru is potty-trained and very, very sweet. Bru can be somewhat shy with strangers, and he can be easily frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Because of this we are hopeful that his future home will be a quiet one without children under the age of fourteen. Bru does have a history of resource guarding which will be discussed further at the time of adoption. Due to his history of resource guarding, he may do best as only pet.

Story
Titan is 1 year and 9 months old. (115 lbs) We have had him since he was 12 weeks old. He is truly a gentle giant. He does wonderful with our 4 kids, and doesnt mind the cat. Most of his day is spent sleeping in the living room or following me around the house. He is a velcro dog and loves HIS person deeply. He is well behaved, we continue to train him with an e-collar to teach him boundaries etc (stay out of the kitchen). He is crate trained, although we have forgotten to put him up at night a few times and he does well, and has come looking for me to let me know he has to go out to potty. During the day, he uses his bell at the back door to let us know he wants to go out. He is the sweetest, most attentive dog I've had. Unfortunately my husband and I disagree on his size and big dog traits like drool and just his size in general. We are a big family as is, and it's impossible for us to travel with him, unless we take two vehicles. He will come with crate, kuranda bed, etc.

Story
My name is Anne and I’m looking for my forever home! I’m still a puppy – I’ll turn 1 in mid-September. I currently weigh 18 pounds. I came to my foster home here in Dorchester, IA, from a commercial breeding facility where I was born. I’m still getting used to being a pampered pet. I’m skittish around loud noises and unexpected movements, but my curiosity is starting to show. I may be shy at first, but once I get to know you, I’ll greet you with tail wags and wiggles and lots of love! I follow my foster mom around the house. There are kids here, and I’m still scared of them. Their fast movements and squealy noises spook me. I get along with other dogs, as long as we’re introduced slowly. I love to play chase and I’ve got lots of puppy energy! Sometimes I play rough, so if my forever family has a resident dog, they should be tolerant of my puppy antics. There are cats in my foster home and I don’t bother them. Like a lot of puppies, I love to chew and rip up things – like grass or toys (I’m an expert de-stuffer) or even furniture if foster mom isn’t keeping an eye on me. I’m a good girl in my kennel when foster mom is sleeping or when she leaves the house. I’m getting the hang of potty training. I don’t make messes in my kennel if foster mom takes me out on schedule when we wake up. I can walk on a leash, but I prefer to do my business in the fenced yard here. I’m not a fan of baths. Nope. My perfect forever home will have patient humans and a resident dog or two to help train and guide me as I grow up. No small kids, please! My forever family should be careful to guard against escapes, especially around open doors or gates or fences, since I inherited the Shiba “escape artist” gene. I’m a healthy girl – spayed and vaccinated. I have a mild heart murmur (grade 1-2) which doesn’t cause me any problems. If you live in the Midwest and are looking for an active, affectionate, pretty girl like me, visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to apply to become an approved SIRA adopter. The application process helps SIRA make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, SIRA will introduce you to my foster mom, so we can meet!
