Shay's Story

Girl with a Kind Heart, Great Manners, and a Spunky ’Tude Seeks Forever Family<br/><br/>Looking for a sweet little spark with lifelong-best-friend potential? I could be your perfect match! I’m Shay an approximate 14-week-old, female, possible Shepherd mix puppy weighing about 17 lbs. Shay has not completed her puppy vaccinations, due to her age, and is scheduled for her spay on Wednesday, November 4.<br/><br/>I may need a minute to warm up, but once I know you, my affectionate, silly side comes out — with a little spitfire mixed in. Before long, I’ll be your adventure partner, snuggle buddy, and devoted little shadow. Going for a walk? I’m learning! Playing with toys? Count me in. Settling onto the couch for a movie? You’re in luck – I’m a professional couch potato. My love language: attention, snuggles, and quality time. My favorite things: treats, stuffed animals, and anything with a squeaker! Relationship strengths: gentle with cats, friendly with dogs, and happiest spending time with my people. Humble brag: I’m clever and quick to learn commands—especially when treats are involved! I’m making great progress with potty training, crate training, and leash walking, and my foster family says I have lovely manners. My ideal date: a little playtime, a few treats, then falling asleep beside you in a position that defies gravity. I’ve got a lovely mix of mellow sweetness and playful puppy spark. I could be happy with furry siblings or as your one-and-only pup. My perfect match will give me a little patience at the beginning, help me keep learning, and welcome me into everyday family life. Let’s meet. I’ll bring the ears. You bring the treats.<br/><br/>Siblings: Shay (F) Dan (M)<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting Shay, please complete an online application at https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines.
