Theo's owner, my nephew, passed away unexpectedly. My family and I want Theo to go to a good, loving home. He is 2 years old, energetic, and a very loving goofball. He loves to run and play. He has a lot of young energy. He also loves a good cuddle. Theo is a sweet, lovable goof ball. He carries his ball around everywhere he goes. He has been living with 2 cats, has not been around dogs or children in the last year. Theo needs a home with lots of love and enough energy to keep up with him. Patience and experience with larger dogs would be best. He needs consistency and training. He learns quickly, and is eager to please his humans. Please give this sweet loving boy a chance!

Story
Meet Lucy, a beautiful all-black pit bull with a heart of gold! At first, she may seem shy and scared, but once she gets to know you, she becomes the sweetest companion. Lucy has formed special bonds with two staff members at the shelter, who adore her, but sadly, they can't take her home. This goofy girl loves to climb into your lap and snuggle up and has already learned many tricks, thanks to her treat motivation. Though her past is a mystery, it’s clear she’s faced challenges that have left her lacking confidence. When Lucy first arrived, she was terrified and hesitant to approach anyone. Thankfully, she’s gradually coming out of her shell and starting to trust again.Lucy needs a loving home where she can gain the confidence she deserves, away from the hustle and bustle of shelter life. A calm and stable environment is essential for her to thrive. Due to her timid nature, she’d do best in a home without small children. With a little patience and love, she’ll show you how affectionate and loyal she can be. If you’re ready to be her forever friend, Lucy is waiting for you!***All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm tested before adoption.******We can not guarantee that a dog will be good with children, dogs, or cats.

Hiya, I'm Yoshi! I might be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'll show you just how playful and loving I can be. I'm still getting used to everything and learning about the big wide world, but with a little patience, I'll warm up and show you my gentle nature. I may not be quite as outgoing as some, but I have a lot of love to share and am excited to find a special place to call home!***All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and heartworm tested prior to adoption.

Marsay

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 12 yrs 3 mos
Johnston, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Marsay is a 12 year old 60 lb pit mix looking for an active retirement home. Marsay is incredibly affectionate and still has the energy of a young pup! He loves to cuddle but also loves going for walks with his foster mom. He is house/crate trained. He does fine with most dogs one-on-one and after a proper intro; we haven't seen him with cats yet and require a meet with any resident pets before adoption. He does tend to guard resources (particularly food and high value toys/bones) so we are suggesting older kids in the home and a dedicated adopter willing to put some one-on-one training time in with him. He loves to meet new people and be part of the action! If interested in meeting Marsay, please apply at www.foreverhomedogs.org!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.
