Dodge's Story

Dodge is a 5-year-old Husky with striking blue eyes and a whole lot of heart. He's been at HSNEI since early December 2025, and while he soaks up love from staff and volunteers every day, shelter life just isn't his style. This smart boy is ready for more adventure and a place to call home.<br/><br/>Dodge has the cutest habit of carrying his big stuffies everywhere he goes, even bringing them along on walks and bathroom breaks. He also gets out for weekly hikes with a volunteer, and his favorite so far has been exploring the Dug Road Trail and Community Prairie in Decorah. If you happen to spot him out and about in his "Adopt Me" bandana, don't be shy, he'd love a hello!<br/><br/>He truly lights up when visitors and volunteer groups stop by to spend time with him, but what he really wants is a family of his own. If you're looking for an intelligent, affectionate companion with a playful streak, Dodge is ready to be your adventure buddy.

Humane Society of Northeast Iowa's Adoption Policy

Adoption policies and procedures HSNEI is a non-profit organization that rescues and shelters homeless cats and dogs until they can be adopted into their “forever” homes. Adopting an animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal. HSNEI advocates for spaying/neutering of all companion animals, and for the humane treatment and care of all animals. Adoption fees range from $30.00-$50.00 for cats and $100.00-$225.00 for dogs depending on the age and gender of the animal. These adoption fees only partially cover the veterinary expenses and housing costs for the animals. To enable you to take home an unaltered animal, we offer the Foster to Adopt program (explained below). After submitting an application there is a processing period in order to complete all pre-adoption checks before an adopter may take an animal home. Receipt of all applications will be acknowledged within 24-48 hours when submitted online. Applications are held valid for one year after acceptance. Potential adoptive families will be allowed to meet foster animals only after an adoption application has been completed and approved. The entire adoptive family is strongly encouraged to meet the animal before adoption in the case of canine adoptions. Please note that HSNEI will not hold any animal for any potential adopter. Our mission is to place cats and dogs into a home as soon as possible. It is unfair to the animals to keep them in the shelter longer than they have to. An individual must be 21 years old to apply to adopt an animal from HSNEI, with exceptions at the discretion of staff. Foster to Adopt Program HSNEI is pleased to offer the Foster to Adopt program. Adopters are allowed to take an animal home the same day as the Meet and Greet, if they have an approved application. The animal will not be available to anyone else while you are fostering. There is no charge for the adoption fee at this time. Adopters may take the cat or dog home to make sure it's good fit for them and their family. Generally we allow two weeks but more time can be allowed with communication with shelter staff. For more information please email andrew@hsnei.org Foster to Adopt animals have had their rabies shot but may not be fully vaccinated. Adopters must understand the animals have to be returned to HSNEI or a prior approved veterinarian to finish the vaccinations. This is also the case for the alteration surgery - HSNEI must have proof of spay or neuter for the adoption to be finalized. HSNEI makes all reasonable efforts to identify any medical or behavioral issues related to the animals in our care but cannot guarantee the health and/or temperament of any animal. If you have questions please email andrew@hsnei.org or call 563-382-0500.
