   Hi! My name is Dancer, and if you are looking for the cuddliest dog, look no further! I am a lap dog in a 60-pound body! Not much is known about the first two years of my life until I was found wandering the streets as a stray in Minneapolis. I was taken to the shelter, and due to shelter stress found myself on the euthanasia list. That's when Hope stepped in and I moved to Iowa in January! Since then, I have come a LONG way! I recently completed a 4-week board and train program, and I have the skills to prove it! I am crate trained and will sleep in a crate at night or when you leave the house, but I also love to cuddle next to you at night — or really any time you sit down on the couch. Co…

   Good with kidsGood with dogs

   Simba is an approximate 15-week-old, 25 lb., male, possible Black Mouth Cur/Lab mix puppy. He and his 3 siblings came from Oklahoma recently where they endured some instability the first several weeks of their life. Their owner did not take steps to secure the puppies on the property and after they began to wander out of the yard, they were dumped in different parts of town. Thankfully some kind people were eventually able to round up all 5 puppies in the litter, along with their momma, and get them into a secure, temporary foster home while they waited for transport to Hope Animal Rescue of Iowa. He is scheduled for his neuter surgery and rabies vaccination on Tuesday, November 3. Simba and…

   Meet Dan! He is an approximate 14-week-old, male, 19 lb., possible Shepherd mix. He has not yet completed his puppy vaccinations and is scheduled for his neuter on Wednesday, November 3rd. Dan is a sweet, goofy puppy. He’s likely to grow into a big, active boy, so he’s looking for a family that’s ready to put in the time and effort to help him become the very best dog he can be. Right now, Dan is busy learning how to be a dog. He’s working on crate training, potty training, and walking on a leash, but he’s still very much a baby, and his new family will need to pick up where his foster home leaves off. The good news? He’s a smart little guy who wants to please, and he’s eager to learn. Dan i…
