Featured Dog

 Photo of Pongo

Pongo

Dalmation Mix
Size: Medium
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

Notes:  Pongo is easy-going, very gentle and loving. He loves hugs and enjoys leisurely walks. Due to a severe ear infection that went untreated, Pongo cannot hear. Don’t think for a minute that this gets in his way of living a normal dog’s life — he is very social and does just great getting around and such. Pongo’s other senses are very sharp due to his hearing loss and he’s very smart and a quick learner.

 Pongo responds well to vibrations and is has been well socialized. He does not startle easily and would be great with kids. He is learning some sign language and is very smart and attentive. He loves to shake hands and play with tennis balls. Please go to http://www.deafdogs.org/training/ for more information on working with deaf dogs. An added plus: he is potty trained!

 He is currently living in a foster home with two cats (and doing great) in Washington, Iowa. For more information, please contact Sheila at shedesigns@iowatelecom.net or 319-863-0604. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, and have been updated on all routine shots.

All of our dogs that are adopted come with a free class with Lisa Dohlman, Professional Dog Trainer and Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.  Call Lisa at 319-217-1190.


[Adoptable Cats List]

Featured Cat

 Mary

Mary

Domestic Medium Hair - orange & white
Size: Medium
Age: Young
Sex: Female

“There is 'Something About Mary' that is just great! We so think she deserves a loving home, we are reducing her adoption fee $20! Mary is both a talker and a lover. She’s affectionate and likes attention from people, and she doesn’t hesitate to let you know when she’s ready for more.

Mary was found at a local trailer court under some bushes, alone and pregnant. Most of her kittens have now found forever homes. Mary will share her space and her human family with other cats, but she wouldn’t mind being an only cat either.

All our cats have been spayed/neutered, tested for feline leukemia, vaccinated against feline distemper and feline parvo, and have been wormed. They have also been treated for fleas and ear mites and bathed. Microchipping and transfer of bragging rights will take place at the time of adoption.

After Pizza Hut, you'll see a True Value, and next is a Casey's. We are a gray building BEHIND the Casey's. So, if you've passed Casey's, you've gone too far.

If coming from the south on Hwy. 1, you will turn turn right onto the four-laned highway. Watch for a Pizza Hut on your left in about a block.
