 | Rescue Me ID: 18-04-06-00123Dokken (male)
This is Dokken. He is under a year old and it appears he has kind of been tossed around from home to home. He is absolutely terrified here at the shelter. Upon surrender we were told he is a Border Collie/Beagle mix. He gets along with other dogs, cats and kids. Unfortunately it appears he hasn't lived in one place long enough to get housebroken so his forever home will have to work on that. Upon arrival to us he has had no previous shots, has not yet been neutered. All of that will be brought current and done in the next few days so he can start looking for a new home. He isn't a very big guy - only about 30 lbs. Our adoption ...

Johnny is your typical husky! He is just a few months over a year old. He weighs 70+ pounds. He has one blue eye and one brown. He likes to run and play, but unfortunately has lived in a kennel his entire life. That is not a good and fair life for a dog. He knows basic commands. He has no problems taking a bath. He's good with little kids, but sometimes doesn't know how big he actually is and knocks them down! He needs a home with lots of room to run and somebody that understands a husky!

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-04-03-00242Manny (male)
You may remember this guy - it is Manny. He was out to foster for about three months last year and then found what we believed to be a home that would give him the time and space he needed to come the rest of the way out of his shell. He was doing well with the stability of his foster home and a regular routine. Unfortunately he got adopted in November and rather than wait for him to adjust (which everyone knew would not be quick) they decided to drug him starting the first of December. The drugging did nothing but amplify him being afraid of everything and then he went back to having accidents inside when he was drugged. He got more ... (Read More)fearful of things and appeared to be drugged enough to more or less be in a zombie state. His condition when he came back in was very upsetting for everyone. We immediately consulted with the vet and got him off the drugs. It took a little while for him to get past the shakes, inability to control his bodily functions, to stand without wobbling and then through all of the mess of everything making him sick at his stomach as he was working the drugs out of his system. He has lost quite a bit of weight but we are giving him plenty to eat to make up for it. He is now doing better and we believe he is very thankful to be back at the shelter. He is still very afraid of strangers - men more so than women - he loves to go on walks as long as you work him through the stages of everything being strange - once he learns the route he does great. He gets along great with other dogs. Not sure on cats but probably not a good idea. He is NOT aggressive. He needs to live in a structured environment where he can learn what to expect. We do not believe he could adjust to a home with young kids where there is a lot of commotion. He is a big boy and is probably a Lab/Great Dane mix. He is 2 1/2 years old.

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-04-03-00190Marley (male)
We really thought the third adoption for this beautiful boy was the charm - but no such luck. This is Marley. His reasoning for three returns after his adoption are always the same 'he is an escape artist'. He is almost 4 years old but still has a ton of energy in typical Boxer fashion. He does fine with other dogs - can not do cats and is fine with kids. Unfortunately this last return is a little different - when he escaped a neighbor tried to grab him and he nipped them. He obviously needs a fenced in yard BUT that doesn't seem to be enough - he needs to find someone who is VERY conscious about opening the door to where he can get ... (Read More)into an area with no containment. He isn't a bad dog - just lots of energy and LOVES to run. Little kids in the house won't work with him because of the running out the door when it gets opened. He can not live in Osage, Iowa because of his 'bite history'. We don't see a mean bone in his body but if he is focused on running and gets grabbed apparently he reacts. He is housebroken. He is neutered and all of his shots are current. If you think you have what it takes to get this boy plenty of exercise and keep him contained please go to our website and complete an adoption application. www.patriotsforpets.com (Less) Patriots for Pets Rescue and Shelter Inc. 805 N. 40th Street Cerro Gordo County Clear Lake, IA 50428 MAP IT!

Graci came to us because one of her owners became seriously ill and they were spending a lot of time at the hospital and doctor appointments.

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-03-25-00441Raven (female)
My name is Raven. I am a pistol and love to play, play and then play some more. I am at PFP looking for a home. I am young with a date of birth of 1/26/18 but I am one smart cookie. I am a typical puppy and I need my own family to teach me all the things that the bigger dogs know. They tell me I am a mix - but not sure I know what that is - I just know I am stinking adorable and have an awesome personality. They tell me I will be spayed this week - not sure what that is but it sounds fun. They have stuck me around here with a few shots - ouch - and they put this thing in me called a micro-chip explaining to me that if I am a bad girl ... (Read More)and run away that it will help me get home. I get along with other dogs but I am a little bossy - even with dogs bigger than me. I need an active home with maybe a dog a little older than me to do what they call around here as 'put me in my place'. They speak in strange terms around here some days. I understand food, treats, love and play - those I have down pat - the rest of it I have to learn - but sure am willing to try if you are. NOTE FROM PFP: If you are interested in adopting Raven her adoption fee is $250.00. She is spayed, current on puppy shots, wormed, current on flea/tick preventative and current on heartworm preventative as well as micro-chipped.

Murphy is a 14 year old Border Collie/Aussie mix with a sweet temperament and loving disposition. While Murphy would be considered a senior at this stage of the game, he has a playful and youthful heart. Murphy loves to be with people and follows his foster parents all over the house. Once he knows where you are going to hang out he will plop down and watch with a curious eye at whatever you are doing (unless there is food involved'|then he will be right by your side). Murphy is still getting used to dog beds so, at times he will just lay down next to one rather than actually ON the bed. He doesn't get up on furniture (although he ... (Read More)could if he wanted), likes to explore outside and go for walks, and gets along with both other dogs AND cats. He has a few favorite toys that he tosses around a little (he carries his favorite pink owl from place to place) and he prefers people who are home more often than not. Murphy has a few signs of age such as a slower trot, some hearing loss (so he needs a secure, fenced yard), more grunting when he gets up and down, and he has had some teeth and a few cysts removed. Otherwise, he is just a good boy that wants a safe and loving home to spend the rest of his days. Murphy is housetrained, crate trained, up-to-date on vetting, microchipped, neutered, and is currently being treated for Lyme disease. Murphy is ready to be in his forever home!

He is an escape artist so a good height fenced in back yard is highly recommended - and he also needs another dog as a playmate and companion. He is here with us as he could not be contained in the home he was in - he kept getting out and ending up in doggie jail. We believe a big part of his constantly escaping is because he was bored and we think a playmate will help that situation. He is neutered, current on his shots and micro-chipped. He just needs his very own ... (Read More)family. His adoption fee will be $125.00 - if you are interested in him, please go to our website at www.patriotsforpets.com and fill out an application.

Midnight is a 2 year old, 58 pound Black Lab mix. We aren't sure of her exact breed and she isn't telling. The mahogany on her head and legs tells us she could be part Rottweiler.

Midnight is a confident, social girl who enjoys meeting new people and experiencing new things. Midnight has many things mastered, house and crate training were a piece of cake.

If you would like to meet Midnight, please start the adoption process by completing the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org.

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-01-09-00352Finn (male)
Poor Finn - this boy has been through the ringer. He came to us after being a victim of being stabbed. He went out to foster and got all better and then came back for adoption to the shelter and didn't get adopted. He then went to another foster home. He was there for a couple of weeks. Then someone was interested in adopting him so we did a two week foster to adopt - after the two weeks they decided to adopt him - that lasted a few days and he got returned. So now, he is back at the shelter starting all over. He has some type of an allergy and is very itchy. We had him on medication and were trying a Venison based food to try and ... (Read More)give him some relief. When he got brought back he was out of his pills and out of his food. So we are starting all over again to get his itching under control. :) Apparently he won't go potty on a leash so he will require a fenced in yard - both of his foster homes that we had him in reported he is fully housebroken so we can only assume that his 'accidents' in the house after adoption were because of being on a leash to go potty. He is an 8 year old Shih Tzu who is just a cuddly as they come. He gets along great with other dogs and cats. He loves people. His allergy pills runs about $2.00 a day. He doesn't eat a ton so buying a higher end grain free food isn't much of a factor. There has to be someone who can love this boy and give him an amazing life for the remainder of his years.

Harley needed some help when she arrived in Iowa. She had a small limbal tumor in her left eye and had eye surgery to remove it. Harley also had a painful neck.

Her superior intellect combined with her intensity and passion for keeping busy means she needs an owner smarter than she is. Harley's forever home should have a fenced yard and no kids under 10. Kelpie's were bred to herd and she would quickly have small children herded up. Harley would be happiest to be an only dog but would also do well with a calm male dog.

We put him in with a more outgoing dog and that has helped tremendously. He requires a loving and PATIENT home. He is not a 'love you to death' type of puppy. You will have to earn that love through lots and lots of patience. He does great with other dogs and is getting more and more curious about all of the attention they get. He would probably be best in a home with another dog to help him finish coming out of his shell (a non-aggressive dog of course).

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-05-07-00152Ragnar (male)
This is Ragnar - he was originally with us last year and has been returned. We are not even sure where to start in describing him. We have a 8 page report from his adopters describing him. There are tons and tons of good stuff on him and what a wonderful dog he is - but he is described as having a Jekyll and Hyde personality. He will do great and then all of sudden turn on someone that he knows or was just loving up to. Unfortunately in a home with children, family and friends the changing of personalities did not work. Since we have seen none of the unwanted behavior here we aren't even positive what to look for in an adopter. He ... (Read More)is only two years old - has been to trainers who have not seen the issue so can't even begin to advise on additional things to try. The behavior exists and rears it's ugly head when least expected. About 80% of the time he appears good with other dogs and then all of a sudden that goes bad. He was originally shown as a Retriever mix but some of the behavior being described leads us to believe there is some Chow in there. For anyone interested in meeting Ragnar we will require they read the write up on him from the prior owner. Unfortunately with his bite history we will only get one final shot at finding him the right home. We hope one is out there. We 'think' a single man or woman who can demonstrate they are in charge, that has very little company and strangers through the home would be best. He will also need to be the only dog. He will also need a fenced in yard to avoid having trouble with neighbor dogs. (Less) Patriots for Pets Rescue and Shelter Inc. 805 N. 40th Street Cerro Gordo County Clear Lake, IA 50428 MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-04-07-00253Bindi (female)
Bindi is a 1.5 y/o 32# Cowboy Corgi who was picked up as a stray in NM. She was terrified in the shelter but has been very snuggly in her foster homes. She was adopted but was returned because owner could not handle to training needs; she hasn't done well with other dogs, but she could be ok with another dog who will respect her space and isn't the jealous type. Bindi is a sweet smart girl who knows how to use a doggie door and who bonds to her female human very strongly. She is afraid of strangers and large men but she's made lots of progress around strangers. Her previous foster was a man who she learned to love but it did take some ... (Read More)time. She needs an owner who can give her the confidence she needs to greet others. WDCR requires an application, home and reference check and a meet and greet with current pets and/or children in the home. If interested in Bindi or if you think that you'd be able to give Bindi the love and dedication she needs and deserves, please complete an application at https://form.jotform.us/72074690104148 (Less) WDCR Ames, IA MAP IT!

I love hugs. I like all people. I especially like to play with girl dogs. I haven't been tested with cats, but I may want to play with them too much so probably not good idea to get me with cats. I need a family that has a fenced yard or can take me for walks. I do well in a kennel. I was rescued AT THE LAST MOMENT from a 700-dog high-kill shelter. So I'm one lucky pup to be here in Iowa--But I need L O V E! I want to give you L O V E! Want to meet? Transport is available most anywhere there is a GREAT HOME for me!

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-01-19-00446Sammy (male)
Sammy is under 2 years old. He came to us in early January absolutely terrified of humans. He would bite when he was terrified. He has come a LONG LONG way since then. He will now come up to his gate and allow people to gently touch him. He goes in and out without having to be on a leash and forced to go outside. He is now curious about humans and has gotten very good with the regular volunteers here at PFP. He is housebroken. He will require a quiet home with someone who is VERY patient and will just wait for him to be curious enough to seek attention. We know that adoption will set him back a little bit but it is time to start ... (Read More)looking for his very own home. He isn't a real big boy - about 35 pounds. His breed is anyone's guess.

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Mutt in Iowa | |||||||||
Mutt Dogs can make good pets in Iowa if they match your IifestyIe. Mutts are some of the most loveable of all the types of dogs one can adopt. What distinguishes a mutt is that they are not born from any single breed, but rather, are a mix of two or more breeds. While a mutt might not be able to be shown at an AKC show, they tend to be healthier, more secure and live longer than most purebred dogs.
