Story
Quimby is a 2 year old very loveable, but high energy dog!! He will need room to run and play. Its probably best if your yard is fenced in. He does do well on a lead, but likes the freedom of running. He does jump up when greeting someone. He can walk on a leash, but he does pull if he sees other animals or people. He does best in a harness, rather than a collar. Due to his size and tail (he can really whip you with it haha) I would recommend he does not go to a home with small children. He loves kids but I wouldn't want him to knock anyone over. He does not like cats, he will chase them. He has been around other dogs (an English Bulldog and an English Shepherd) and does well with them. Rehoming at no fault of the dog!! Owner has brain tumor

Story
Our handsome man Peele is still looking for his forever home! This sweet man and his brother were found as strays in April, though with some investigation we do suspect that they were dumped. They were in incredibly poor condition, so they needed some pretty intense TLC before we were comfortable putting them up for adoption. Peele is a great man, he doesn't mind other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats either! He keeps a clean kennel here at HSNWIA. Peele is a great boy, don't let him pass you by! Peele is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in Peele, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Meet Kittle!! This sweet boy came to us at no fault of his own, he's a 4 year old Australian Cattle dog blue heeler mix. He is such a sweetheart and is doing great with his training as well as learning to trust! Kittle would do best as an only dog in an adult only household and can take a little bit to warm up but once he does he's the sweetest man! We would love to fine him a home with experienced cattle dog owners! Kittle us up to date on vaccines and is neutered.

Here comes our beautiful momma Ash!! Ash came to us with one of her puppies at no fault of their own. Ash is a 2-3 year old cattle dog mix and just loves to play! This sweet girl loves to go on nice walks and loves to play fetch even more! As a cattle dog mix she does have quite a bit of energy and so she would do best in an active household. Ash has been doing good with training although she is still learning manners, she’s still the sweetest! Ash is up to date on vaccinations and spayed. If you are interested in Ash please put in an application on our website! humanesocietyofnwia.com
