Story
Donahue came to the city pound as a stray and was never claimed. We can't figure out why! He is so affectionate and listens very well. Don takes treats nicely and loves to take walks. Having good leash manners he is a volunteer favorite. He will kennel when asked and sit for treats. Don is a large fella and is durable enough for long runs/walks and exploring but he is also content to follow you around the yard and relax on the couch next to his person. He is easy to handle and is treat and praise motivated so learning routines and new tricks should be easy. He has played well with dogs 35 pounds and larger (we don't have small dogs to test him with). With slow introductions and supervision he would probably do well with any size dog. We feel he would not do well with cats. He is too fixated on their movements and doesn't redirect easily. We feel Don would be good around children because is calm and super friendly. It's always a good idea for children to be respectful of any dogs' body, space and food. We are guessing him at 2-3 years old. Donahue is a great dog with lots of love to offer. If you adore large dogs and can give Don the life he deserves, please email mdowney@iowatelecom.net for an appointment to meet him.

This doe eyed sweetheart is named Chino and he is looking for his new family. Chino is a BIG fan of toys but he will request quite a few as the other ones always end up ripped or broken. He's not sure how that happens, though. He is fully potty trained and has done well on walks, even preferring to carry his toys for the entire duration. Chinos big head and loving personality has made him a staff favorite at the shelter so you won't want to miss out on this goof!

Story
Meet Cooper aka Toot Toot aka Toot Bagoot aka Tooter Cooper was basically born and raised in the shelter system so everything is new to him, he's still learning what stairs are and what the big moving screen that talks to him is. He also loves to look at the handsome dog in the mirror. Tooter has nothing but love to give. The best way to describe Toot toot is a bull in a China shop. Your personal space is his personal space. Your spot on the couch is his spot on the couch. Fancy decorations? Oh you mean those things in his way! Toot is completely potty trained and listens very well! He knows sit, and down and is good in a kennel. Cooper's FAVORITE thing is soft stuffed toys and will definitely make your home look like a winter wonderland with stuffing. He is still learning about those small stick things attached to human arms and that those are in fact part of the human and not part of the treat or toy, but Cooper is a smart boy! Toot has never met a stranger with 2 legs or 4 legs, but since Cooper is a puppy in an adult dogs body, people his size may not be the best choice for him. Cooper has a heart of gold and just wants to please people and give you all the kisses (and maybe nibble on your toes a little). We know the right home is out there for our boy but 3 years in a shelter is too long. Do you think you're up for a sweet hyper house piggy? Apply for the Bagoot today, he's waiting for you.

Story
Jake is a sweet guy looking for a forever home where he can finally settle down. Over the past 5 years of his life he has been bounced around from person to person looking for a home that will finally stick, and still he is searching. After being abandoned at a vet clinic Jake was brought to Furry Friends to find a home that will love him for who he is. He loves treats and will do just about anything for a yummy snack. He appreciates a person who can take things a bit slow with him so you can learn to trust before showing his true personality, fun, energetic, and so so sweet. His little snorts and funny quirks will bring smiles to your face each day.

Story
Meet Chance! This super adorable, happy guy came to the shelter after his previous family decided they could no longer care for him. When he sees one of the staff or volunteer coming towards him he starts to do excited tippy tappys on the ground and is so ready to spend time outside. He shows a lot of love and will always give you his biggest smile. His excitement is unmatchable, but he is also ready for a nice nap and cuddle with his people. He is a big lap dog and doesn't completely understand the idea of personal space. He has done well with cats in his foster home and has previously lived with other dogs as well. Fill out an application for our Chancers to meet him!
