Story
Very loyal dog who is great with kids and other dogs. She may need time to adjust to another dog in the house due to having high anxiety. It takes a couple days for her to truly get comfortable with someone she’s unfamiliar with but once Willow is comfortable with you she’s loving and protective. Sadly my son has severe allergies and is unable to live in the same house as her without having breathing issues. There will be no adoption fee. Willow loves to go on hikes and does not run off without a leash. Someone with an active lifestyle would fit her life very well.

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

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet our handsome man Peele! Peele and his brother were found as strays not long ago, we highly suspect that they were dumped based on other information we received about them and their situation. They came in in such poor condition that we knew we had to bring them in to the vet before their stray hold was up. They ended up having flea bite dermatitis and some pretty infected and irritated skin, not a horrible issue, but very uncomfortable. On top of that, the skin on the rest of their bodies was very inflamed and tender to the touch. These poor boys needed some TLC, but now they are happy and healing and ready to find their forever homes! Peele is good with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. He is doing great with potty training and is also taking well to basic obedience! He 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.

Story
Meet our handsome man Key! Key and his brother were found as strays this past Spring. We highly suspect that they were dumped based on outside information we received about them and their situation. They came to us in such poor condition, we knew we had to bring them in to the vet before their stray hold was up. It turns out they had flea bite dermatitis and some pretty infected and irritated skin, not a horrible issue, but very uncomfortable. On top of that, the skin on the rest of their bodies was very inflamed and tender to the touch. These poor boys needed some TLC, but now they are happy, healed, and ready to find their forever homes! Key is good with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. He is doing great with potty training and is also taking well to basic obedience! He is a great boy, don't let him pass you by! Key is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in Key, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.
