Wherever the fun is happening, you can bet Deacon will be ready to join in.<br/><br/>Deacon’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. He was originally brought to a shelter in Texas in December 2024 and spent over a year there, becoming their longest resident. As his time was running out, he got a second chance when he was transported to Iowa to find the loving forever home he truly deserves without the risk of time running out.<br/><br/>This boy loves to play, whether it’s with people or other dogs, especially those who can match his size and energy.

He loves car rides and enjoys the water, making him the perfect adventure buddy for someone who wants a dog to join in on life’s outings.<br/><br/>With people, Deacon can be a little shy at first, particularly around men, but give him a toy or a few treats, and you’ll quickly see his walls come down. Before long, he’ll be leaning his whole body into you, soaking up affection and asking for more ear scratches and butt rubs, his absolute favorites!<br/><br/>Deacon is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to a home. He would do best with children who are old enough to understand and respect his boundaries.<br/><br/>After spending most of his life as a stray and in a shelter, Deacon is ready to finally experience what it means to be apart of a family. He’s looking for a family who will embrace his playful nature, continue building his confidence, and give him the happy, secure life he’s been waiting for.<br/><br/>If you’re ready for a loyal companion, an adventure buddy, and a dog who will love you with his whole heart, Deacon is your guy!
