Meet Dale – Your New Best Friend! 🐾

Looking for a pint-sized pup with a big personality? Meet Dale, a 1-year-old Puggle (Pug/Beagle mix) who tips the scales at a perfect 17 pounds of pure charm!

Dale found his way into rescue the old-fashioned way—he wandered up to a kind family's home looking for love. They fell head over heels for his sweet face and happy-go-lucky spirit, but unfortunately, one of their resident dogs wasn’t ready to share the spotlight. Wanting the best for Dale, they turned to Fur Fun Rescue to help him find a forever home.

Dale is a cheerful, social butterfly who loves making new friends—whether you're a grown-up, a kid, or another friendly pup. He’s especially fond of dogs near his size who will play and romp with him. He would love a playful canine companion in his new home and a physically fenced yard where he can safely zoom around to his heart’s content.

And here’s something that makes Dale uniquely Dale—we’re pretty sure he was a parrot in a past life! This silly little guy loves to perch on your shoulder or wrap himself around your neck like a living, wagging neck pillow. He’s full of affection and always wants to be close to his people.

Dale is kennel trained, walks nicely on a leash, and is just an all-around good boy. He’s neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations—ready to pack up his toys and move right in.

Dale would thrive in almost any home—he's just looking for a family that will love him as much as he’ll love them.

💛 Ready to add a little sunshine to your life? Fill out an application to meet Dale at www.furfunrescue.org. He’s waiting with tail wags and shoulder snuggles!

Meet Ozzie – A Tiny Gentleman with a Huge Heart
At just 6 pounds, Ozzie may be small in size, but his heart is full of love, loyalty, and quiet strength. This 10-year-old Shih Tzu has been through a lot recently, but he’s facing life’s changes with the same gentle spirit that has always defined him.
Ozzie’s world was turned upside down when one of his beloved owners passed away and the other moved into a nursing home. Suddenly, this devoted little dog found himself without the people he’s always known—but not without hope. Now, he’s searching for a new lap to curl up in and a calm, loving home where he can spend his golden years.
Despite all he’s been through, Ozzie remains incredibly sweet, easygoing, and affectionate. His favorite place to be? Wherever you are. Whether it’s snuggled beside you on the couch, curled up in your lap, or quietly following you around the house, Ozzie simply wants to be near his person.
He does beautifully in a quiet home and gets along well with other gentle dogs. His hearing isn’t what it once was, but he still responds to kind voices and loves gentle touch and soft affection. His soulful eyes say it all—this little guy just wants to love and be loved.
Ozzie is in good health for his age, and he recently had a dental, leaving him with just three teeth—but don’t worry, it only adds to his charm (and his soft-food connoisseur status!). His needs are simple: a soft bed, a peaceful environment, regular grooming, and, most of all, a human to call his own.
If you're looking for a low-maintenance, sweet-hearted senior who will adore you unconditionally and bring warmth and calm to your home, Ozzie might just be your perfect match.
Ozzie is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm tested. He’s ready to start this new chapter with someone who will cherish him for the special little soul he is.

Meet Jaxon – a 2-year-old, 55 pound Husky mix, part-time goofball, full-time social director, and your future best friend.
With his piercing blue eyes and movie-star good looks, Jaxon might look serious… but don’t be fooled. He’s a total ham. Think of him as your very own Walmart greeter, but fuzzier and with more unsolicited kisses. He’s never met a stranger—kids, dogs, cats, your mailman, the vet… he loves them all.
Like any self-respecting Husky, Jaxon has energy for days and opinions he’s not afraid to share. He’d love a dog buddy to wrestle and zoom with, and a family that’s down for adventure. Sitting still is not his thing—unless he’s planning his next move (or snack request).
Jaxon’s favorite way to communicate? Booping. Want attention? Boop. Want a treat? Boop. Want the cat to play? Double boop. (To be clear, most cats do not appreciate this, but the one at his foster home surprisingly does and plays with him.)
A physically fenced yard (preferably 6 feet tall) is a must—this guy has springs in his legs and no concept of gravity. He’s not trying to escape... he’s just built like an Olympic high jumper.
If you're ready for laughs, snuggles, boops, and unconditional love, Jaxon is your guy. This beautiful, bright-eyed boy is ready to be the life of the party—and your heart.
Jaxon is housetrained, kennel trained, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped.
If you would like to meet Jaxon, please complete the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about Jaxon, you can contact [email protected] or call 319-929-6657.

After nearly a year in the shelter system and a heartbreaking spot on the euthanasia list, Ruff Tufferson was given a second chance—thanks to a group of compassionate women who knew he deserved so much more. Now safe and thriving in foster care, Ruff is ready for his forever home!
This 66-pound, 18-month-old Lab mix is the perfect mix of playful, loyal, and lovable. He’s a really good boy with a big heart and an even bigger appreciation for the comforts of home. Air conditioning, soft beds, and squeaky toys have quickly become his favorite things in the world!
Ruff loves playing with other dogs and would be so happy to have a canine sibling to romp around with. Whether it’s tug-of-war, a game of chase, or tossing toys in the air, Ruff brings joyful energy to every moment. Ruff requires a physically fenced yard so he can safely run and play.
He’s also house trained and kennel trained, making him a well-mannered addition to any home. He’s learning the ropes of family life and soaking up every bit of love, structure, and stability that comes his way.
Ruff’s past hasn’t been easy, but you’d never know it by his sweet spirit. He’s the kind of dog who will greet each day with a wagging tail and a big, goofy smile, just happy to be safe and loved.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a gentle soul and a playful heart, Ruff Tufferson is ready to bring joy, laughter, and love into your life.
Ruff is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm tested.

Meet Meadow – A Gentle Soul Looking for a Safe Place to Bloom
Meadow is a 4-year-old, 52-pound Lab mix with a heart as soft as her fluffy coat. Quiet and shy by nature, Meadow is searching for a calm, patient home where she can feel safe, loved, and accepted at her own pace.
Though her exact breed mix is a mystery, Meadow physically resembles a Doodle-type dog with a low-shedding coat. Her unique fur doesn’t grow much, making her relatively low maintenance in the grooming department.
Meadow is a sensitive girl who has clearly experienced a tough start in life. She can be wary of new people—especially men—but she’s making quiet, steady progress every day. With the gentle guidance of her foster mom and the support of her doggie companions, Meadow is slowly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place.
She loves other dogs and truly shines in the company of canine friends. In fact, having another calm, confident dog in the home is a must for Meadow, she takes great comfort in following their lead and gains confidence through their presence.
Meadow enjoys going for walks and always sticks close to her foster mom’s side. At night, she finds comfort sleeping at the foot of the bed, knowing her person is nearby. Her favorite moments are quiet ones; resting in the yard, strolling the neighborhood, or simply being near someone she trusts.
A physically fenced yard would be ideal for Meadow, giving her a safe space to run, sniff, and explore on her own terms. She's not a high-energy dog, but she does enjoy time outside and the freedom to move without pressure.
Meadow is not the kind of dog who will jump into your lap the moment you meet her, but if you’re someone who understands that the best relationships take time, she’ll reward you with loyalty, quiet affection, and the beautiful experience of watching a once-shy soul come to life.
If you have a peaceful home, a kind heart, and a friendly resident dog, Meadow might just be the perfect addition to your pack. She’s ready to keep growing, she just needs someone like you to help her bloom.
Meadow is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and heartworm tested.
If you would like to meet Meadow, please complete the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about Meadow you can contact [email protected] or call 319-929-6657.

Today, we celebrate Mama Chloe — a true survivor, nurturer, and now, a beloved adopted pup! 💖

Chloe’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was surrendered to a shelter while heavily pregnant and was scheduled for a spay/abort. With no time to spare her foster mom Leah Price stepped up, and Chloe was welcomed into a safe, loving home.

Three days later, she gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies. Chloe was a great mom and one by one, her puppies all found amazing families.

Now it’s her turn.

Today, Chloe left her foster home and walked into her forever home — where she’ll be cherished not as a mama dog, but simply as Chloe, a sweet, strong soul who deserves the world.

From near tragedy to total triumph — this is what rescue is all about.

July 4th and 5th are two of the most dreaded days of the year for every animal shelter and dog rescue.

Last year, we dealt with countless lost dogs — and at midnight, I still had one in my car with nowhere to take them. This year will be even worse. Every shelter and rescue we know is already at full capacity. There is literally no room left.

Please be a responsible dog owner.

Make sure your dog is wearing a collar with an ID tag that includes your current contact information.

Make sure your dogs microchip is registered and the contact details are up to date.

Don’t assume your dog will be okay with fireworks — even dogs who’ve been fine in the past can panic.

Fireworks don’t just go off after dark. Be alert during the day too.

If your dog is outside at all during the next two days, you should be outside with them or watching them closely — even if your yard is fenced.
Dogs in a panic will jump fences, push through screens, or break loose trying to escape the noise.

We're already overwhelmed and exhausted. Please don’t let your dog become another emergency. Help us help them — keep your dog safe.

Sometimes the path to forever has a detour… and that’s exactly what happened with sweet Clover. Just two weeks after her adoption, her first adopter lovingly returned her when an unexpected change in work hours happened. It was a tough decision made with Clover’s best interest at heart — and we’re grateful for that honesty.
But fate had something even better in store.
Today, we’re overjoyed to share that Clover has found her true forever — and she even has a new name to go with it: Kasha!
Kasha’s new life includes a cozy home, a loving family, and a brand new best friend: Carlos the Chihuahua, her tiny but mighty big brother. These two have already started forming the kind of bond that makes our hearts melt.
From returned to re-loved, Kasha’s story is proof that the right home is always worth the wait. Welcome home, sweet girl — your forever really is forever this time.

Our sweet Mijo — the 5th and final pup from Chloe’s litter — has officially been adopted! His new name is Argos, and he’s already on his way to a life filled with love, adventures, and plenty of snuggles.

This moment is bittersweet. His foster mom shed some tears as she said goodbye — not because she wasn’t overjoyed for him, but because loving and letting go is the hardest part of rescue. Miho was deeply cherished, and it’s clear how much he left his little paw print on her heart.

Chloe’s pups are all home now, and while our hearts are full, we’ll never forget the journey — from tiny newborns to happy, healthy, adopted pups.

Happy life, Argos. 💛
You were so very loved from the start.
