Story

Introducing Tyler!! Tyler is a sweet 10-year-old Goldendoodle who needed a new home after his person passed away. He is a low-key, loving boy, who wants nothing more than to have attention. He has gotten along with all the dogs and people he has met so he would be fine as an only dog or happy with a sibling. Cats are unknown. Kids should be okay if they are calm and respectful of him. He loves his leisurely walks, but in general, is pretty low-energy. He does not require a fence, but a solid plan to keep him safe when outside will be required. Tyler does have a growth on his bottom jaw. This does not affect his eating or drinking…. it does not seem to bother him at all. The vet has described it as a cancer that doesn’t grow quickly and should not limit his life. The cancer will not spread to other areas of the body. We do have a surgeon willing to take it off if an adopter determined they wanted it removed which would be an expense covered by the rescue. If your home is where this sweet boy could lay his head, please reach out and we can tell you more about him! To adopt: https://grroiowa.org/adoption-information/

Story

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!
