Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DeJean is an incredibly sweet puppy that came to Safe Haven on a transport from an over-crowded shelter in Texas.  He was one of 10 puppies that were found in a dumpster near Amarillo, Texas at the end of January right around Super Bowl Sunday, so several of the pups received 'football' themed names!  This guy just happens to be named after our very own Cooper DeJean that used to volunteer at Safe Haven when he played for the Hawkeyes!  He had an absolutely amazing Super Bowl in his rookie season with the Eagles - so it only made sense that one of the puppies was named in his honor! While two of the 10 puppies found homes through the shelter in Texas, the other eight were at risk of euthanasia and a desperate plea was sent out for other shelters in Iowa to help.  Luckily several agreed to take on the remaining puppies, with Safe Haven taking in four.  DeJean is guessed to be a 3 to 4 month old Lab mix, and will likely mature into nice medium to large sized dog.  A volunteer did donate and submit a DNA test on one of the other puppies in the litter - and the results should be back by the end of April and will be shared with everyone on social media! DeJean will be neutered on Wednesday, April 16th and should be ready to head to his forever home on Friday, April 18th.   The ideal adoptive family will be committed to taking a puppy obedience class right away to get started on the right foot - they will need a family that can commit to continue proper socialization and also all the work that goes into house-training a puppy, which requires a lot of patience and persistence with working on a schedule. Puppies need to be taken outside frequently - as often as every 4 hours in the beginning. So an ideal home for these puppies will be one where they won't have long periods of time during the day spent alone during the first few months, so they can have the best chance of successful housetraining and have years of wonderful love and devotion to focus on! Interested in adopting this pet?

Story
- Has done some work on potty training in his foster home - Has done well with another dog in his foster home All adoptable dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and DA2PPV as appropriate for their age)The ARL's shelter software requires that we choose a primary breed for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most dogs we are only guessing at primary breed. We get to know each dog as an individual and do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not breed label. Primary Color: Black Weight: 20.5 Age: 0yrs 3mths 0wks

Story
Maizy is ready to leave her past behind and find the loving home she deserves. This sweet 3-year-old, 45-pound bundle of love is joyful through and through—if we had to describe her in one word, that would be it. Her tail wags like a helicopter when she's happy (which is often!), and her gentle, trusting heart shines in everything she does. Despite a tough start—Maizy came into rescue severely underweight after being removed from an abusive home—she has blossomed into a healthy, well-adjusted pup with no food aggression. She patiently sits and waits for her meals, confident now that food is a sure thing and love is too. Maizy is house trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and confident cats. She’s crate trained but has done great being left loose in her foster home and prefers cuddling up with her people at night. Smart, eager to learn, and always up for a new adventure, Maizy thrives on praise and affection (especially when you tell her she’s a good girl). She would love a home with a securely fenced yard where she can run, play, and enjoy her new life to the fullest. Humans may have let her down in the past, but Maizy’s heart is wide open. She’s ready to love and be loved. Maizy is housetrained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm tested. If you would like to meet Maizy, please complete the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about Maizy, you can contact rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657. Indoor homes only. Adopters within two hours of Cedar Rapids, IA only, please. Adoption fee $300.
