Courtesy post‼️ He is not at the pound.
Tucker is male not neutered, loves everyone and everything. But owner can't figure out his skin issues.He gets a steroid shot from gowrie clinic. His parents were both known for yeast or ear infections. He gets anxiety and chews on himself. But he is the best dog. He knows commands. He is kennel trained. He takes baths fine. He's 5 years old. Very old soul and lovey. Just needs more love and time then he gets and deserves.
If you’re interested in him please send us a DM and we will get you in contact with his owner.

Arnold here was never claimed by his humans. Arnold is now waiting for a shelter spot unless we can find him a home before 💙 Arnold is a loving boy he’s still got lots of energy but after he’s calmed down he is a big cuddle bug. He’s one to keep you laughing he’s got an amazing personality. Please consider checking out our surrounding shelters and adopting. When you adopt you save not only one fur babies life but you open a kennell for the next one! 🐾

Caroline 😍

Joanna has been hanging out with Caroline up in Algona at her new facility, The Dog House Boarding and Grooming, and she sent this selfie asking how in the world has she not been adopted yet. The short answer is - We have no idea!! She’s perfect!! We can only guess it might be because people see her and think maybe she’s “average” looking? Beyond that we have no clue. She is great with all animals and is a very loyal, happy and a snuggly fun lady!! She’s an easy girl too! We got her this summer from the Algona pound following a neglect removal, and she immediately became a fixture in our backyard play group. When we needed to open a kennel in an emergency to intake neglect cases and had offers to help from Lending A Paw In Need and then from Joanna we always chose her first. We like to tell facilities willing to help us that we will give you our absolute best, and we will keep our hardest cases ourselves because we don’t burn our bridges with our shelter partners!! Trusting relationships are absolutely vital to us, and we are the kinds of friends to other places that we wish to have in return! Sharing all of that with you is to let you know exactly how wonderful Caroline really is!! She’s the perfect one we send out to facilities who partner with us and then get messages back just like this with, “How has she been sitting there so long?! She’s everyone’s favorite here!!” We feel the same about her and hope this will get her forever home to recognize their future bestie since so many have passed right by her and chosen everyone else who has left while she’s been sitting and waiting so very patiently. Fill out an app and see if Caroline is right for your home!! We never do first come first serve on apps. We do which home will be the best fit for our animals since the animals always come first! Now, let’s get this lady in a home forever!!

Monday this boy was turned into The LEC with not much information. Unfortunately no one has stepped up to claim this boy. We have named him Arnold here at Pups & Paws Pound. If you have any information on this boy please reach out. He’s been nothing but a gem since he’s been here. We will find shelter placement or vet him and find his forever home!

Every pet has a special story behind how they came into our lives. Whether it was a chance encounter, a planned adoption, or a rescue mission, and since its national love your pet day, we’d love to hear how you met your furry friend! 🐾✨

Here is a little about Sunflower, one of our available pups that is up for adoption. Sunflower came to us in November and had a rough start at life, but don’t let that stop you from taking this sweet girl home! Sunflower has came out of her shell so much the last couple months and we are so proud of her! She’s such a fun and happy girl! Even does well for getting her nails clipped and brushed out!! She will take a little time to warm up to you, but once she does, she will be THE BIGGEST lover there is!

Please share ‼️
Unfortunately AC wasn’t given any details where this boy was found. He’s the sweetest and seems to be younger. They were told he was found on the side of the road. Please share as he’s missing his family. He’s safe with us at Pups & Paws Pound. 515-269-8871
