He is a very loyal and lovable dog. He is GREAT with kids and will guard them admirably. He is not good with other dogs initially and will take time getting used to the other dog. He tends to ignore cats if they do not bother him.

Story
My name is Penny and I’m looking for my forever home. My must haves are: a patient forever family who will help me continue to learn to trust humans, and a securely fenced yard, since I am not yet comfortable walking on leash. A resident dog or two is recommended. I’m 6 years old and I came to SIRA from a commercial breeding facility where I was a breeder mama. When the breeder didn’t want me anymore, SIRA rescued me and brought me to my foster home here in Davenport, IA. I was so scared when I first arrived here – it’s so different than everything I knew. It has taken me some time to learn that humans here are kind to me. I’m still very cautious, but I am learning that attention from humans can be nice. My foster mom sometimes brings me over to the couch to sit on her lap. That feels nice and cozy and I will happily stay there. But when humans are moving around, I move away or just stay in my safe spot. I’m also figuring out that the humans here have yummy things to eat! It’s taken me a while, but I’m brave enough now to take treats from my foster mom’s hand. There are other dogs here in my foster home and I like them. We like to play together, especially around bedtime when I start to get the zoomies. I am a healthy girl – spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and I weigh around 18 lbs. My perfect forever family will be experienced with dogs like me who are shy and skittish. I’d love to have another nice dog friend or two to play with. They really help me feel safe and learn all about being a treasured family member. I haven't had the chance to meet any cats or small kids, so I don't know what I'd think of them. If you live in the Midwest and are interested in a sweet, shy, Pretty Penny to be by your side, the first step is to visit www.savingshibas.com/adopt to start the application process. Applying helps SIRA learn more about you so they can make sure we’ll be a good match. Once approved, they’ll introduce you to my foster mom so we can meet.

Drama

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young
Rock Island, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Drama is a sweet, energetic girl who loves to play, go for walks, and cuddle up once she’s gotten her energy out. She loves to lick as well. She’s smart, obedient, treat-motivated, and loves toys that challenge her. She’s crate-trained and does well with kids but likes to jump at times. but She does need brushed up on obedience training. She would thrive in a home where she can get daily exercise, attention, and structure. She is male dog selective, and NO female dogs. She would be happiest with someone who understands strong, intelligent breeds like hers. Drama has been deeply loved and cared for. This decision has been incredibly hard — but it’s being made so she can thrive in a home where she has the space and attention she deserves. We’re looking for someone who’s patient, dog-savvy, and ready to give her the love and stability she needs. Again, I would like to stress no female dogs at all. This has contributed to us rehoming her, as we have a female dog in the home.

Story
Maze is sweet and energetic. We found her on the streets a couple years back and exhausted our efforts trying to find her owners. At the time the shelters were at capacity and being animal lovers we couldn’t just let her roam the streets. We took her in and have been caring for her since. We are wanting to find her a home with someone who has more time for her. We do have other dogs that she gets along with and 1 that she doesn’t get along with. We also have 2 cats that she’s pretty curious about but has never tried to harm them. She has a bit of separation anxiety that has come on more recently, probably by our own doing unknowingly. She does not tend to go to the bathroom in the house as long as she is given ample time outside. Our family currently just has a lot going on and it has become difficult to match her energy. I believe she would do better with someone or a family that can better accommodate her level of energy. We did get her spayed and she is current on her rabies shot.

Story
Guinness is the sweetest dog. He’s very gentle and loving, but he requires a ton of attention. Attention that unfortunately we can’t give him at our current stage of life. Without attention he becomes anxious and pees inside. He will throw other fits out of anxiety such as moving his food bowl all around the house, digging the floor, peeing and pooping around the house. With a ton of attention, these behaviors are less. We got Guinness from a pet store when he was six months old and have been his only owners. He will be 13 at the end of September. He is still very healthy, but does seem to have some hearing loss. We don’t really want to re-home him, but we know it’s not fair to him to keep him with us since he’s not getting the attention he needs and deserves. He needs a home where he is preferably the only pet and can be given a lot of attention.
