Story
**Courtesy Post** Sammy is a beautiful boy with a lot of energy. He’s six and a half years of age and in the prime of his life. He loves to run and play in the yard and get after varmints. Even though he loves to snuggle and loves love, he is not a couch potato. His owner needs to be energetic as well. Walking, jogging, throwing the ball, playing tug of war, running errands, biking, playing with toys, etc. Also, his new owner hopefully will work from home at least part of the day and not be gone all the time. Sammy needs a securely fenced yard. He will be glad to get rid of all the varmints out there. Sammy requires a home with no kiddos, no cats and female dogs only. If you are interested please contact Sammy’s owner at evairene328@gmail.com and they will send you an adoption application. There is a small rehoming fee. His adopter needs to be able to drive to the Davenport, Iowa area to get him.

Story
**Courtesy Post** Spanky is a neutered 5 year old male. He has many fine attributes: Very good in the house. Walks like an obedience champ on a leash! Great around indoor and outdoor cats - shows no interest in them, will let them come up to him. LOVES TO PLAY ANYTHING!! Still figuring out the intricacies of playing with other dogs, but nothing bad. I can feed all the dogs together in a row with no problems. Rides in the truck and side by side like a gentleman. Has had a couple baths and did well. Nail trim was so so, but he really listens to a no from us. He goes out on a long leash to chores, goats, cows, cats, chickens. Rather happy just to be with a person. Sleeps in a bed with another smaller type dog. Doesn’t he sound perfect!!!!! Spanky will be a wonderful companion for an active family. He has to have a good fence and his adopter must have a good vet reference. Spanky requires a home with no kids under age 12. If you are interested please contact Spanky’s owner at k9crow@yahoo.com for more information. There is a small rehoming fee. His adopter needs to be able to drive to the Salem, Iowa area to get him.

Story
Lola is my name. I love all and want to be friends with everyone. I am mischievous and will get into trouble just for the attention. I am still very young and eager to explore new things. I want a loving family who will take me on adventures, then love on me while winding down. I don't like it when you focus on other dogs and sometimes I push them out of the way so I can be the center of attention! I have the sweetest face and my "love to be with you" attitude is the best kind to have! I am a medium sized girl and that makes me super PORTABLE! Take me with you to the beach, the mountains, the BATHROOM... I don't care where we go, as long as you take me with you!! I'm a energetic and driven girl with a strong prey drive, particularly chickens, birds, small animals and cats. I'll need a home without these types of pets to ensure everyone's safety. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
