Story

This is not an easy decision for our family. We will also be rehoming our other dog. Our dogs are each eight years old (Zappa turning eight on 9/26/2024). We have had Zappa since she was 7 weeks old. She is part Alaskan Malamute, Australian Cattledog, Beagle, amongst other breeds. She is a true mutt. Zappa has A LOT of energy. She needs to be with someone who can walk or exercise with her frequently. She is aging, so this may decrease with time, but up until this point she has had zero health issues and acts exceptionally young. She loves to hike and go for walks. She does have some leash reactivity but is friendly once interacting with other dogs and people. This improves with consistent walking and training activities, which we have no time for. Zappa gets into trouble if she doesn't receive enough exercise or attention. We can no longer care for her as the responsibilities relating to work and our children have our first priority and we are worried she will get hurt.

Daisy

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

Waukee, IA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Daisy used to be a breeding dog. We rescued her from a breeder and have provided a retirement for her. She is 8. She is sweet and cuddly but very shy. It will take her time to warm up. She is good with our 3 and 1 year olds but she is also timid and would probably prefer an environment with no children or older children that can respect her boundaries. Daisy had benign mammary tumors removed about a year and a half ago, most likely related to her being bred. She has had no recurrences and no other health issues. She loves to be outside and to be with people she trusts. She is fantastic on the leash and loves hiking and car rides. She is sincerely well-behaved. If her anxiety is triggered, she may have accidents in the house. This was chronic when we first adopted her but rarely ever occurs now. We suspect she has a history of being abused. She needs to be with a gentle soul who is living a lifestyle fit for a dog. She also needs to be groomed at least once every two months.

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Willis is great with teens and adults but very anxious around small children. He does chase cats but hasn't injured either of ours but they keep clear. Best with other big dogs. We think he'd be a great farm dog as he loves to be outside and keep watch of things. He loves growling and barking at neighbors. We rescued him through Hope as a puppy but they don't have foster available. We believe that he'd respond well to consistent training but we lack the resources. All shots UTD, clean health.
