Today, Bella went back to Anamosa to see Dr. Kayla for her recheck. In just one week, she’s gained 4 pounds and now weighs 38 pounds—such wonderful progress!

Her vision has shown a slight improvement, though she still isn’t able to see anything below her line of sight. Bloodwork results were a mix of steady and hopeful news: her Red Blood Cells, Hematocrit, and Hemoglobin haven’t improved since last week, but her Reticulocyte count jumped from 9.1 to 137.3. This is great news—it means Bella’s body is finally working hard to regenerate new red blood cells and begin recovery.

For now, Bella will remain on prednisone and will return for another recheck in two weeks.

At her foster home, Bella continues to settle in beautifully. The other dogs are helping her learn how to be playful again—especially Muchi, the 110-pound Rottweiler and true gentle giant, who’s been patiently trying to teach her how to play ball. ❤️

On June 12th we posted about Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control hoping to bring to light the issues there and cause some change. Our shelter is inadequate for the population it serves and is not being maintained.
Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control was inspected by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship on August 15th and failed inspection. The Shelter was reinspected again on August 19th and failed.
Inspector Stephanie Black said it best “IT APPEARS THE CITY OF CEDAR RAPIDS HAS ABANDONED THEIR REPONSIBILITY TO MAINTIAN A STRUCTURE THAT WAS COMPLETE IN 2013"
Inspections are a matter of public record. You can look at any of our licenses and inspections on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website.

When Reggie the French Bulldog first came to us, he was in heartbreaking condition. He only weighed 13 pounds, every bone in his body was sticking out. He needed some care and regular groceries. Fast forward two months, and this little fighter now tips the scale at a healthy 21 pounds and is living his best life.

This weekend, Reggie found his forever family! While we only got a photo with him and his new mom, Reggie gained so much more, a dad, a couple of Goldendoodles, and even another Frenchie to be his partner in fun.

From skin and bones to a life full of love, Reggie’s story is what rescue is all about. We couldn’t be happier for this sweet boy and his wonderful new family.

🎉🐶 Six-Pack of Puppies, Coming Right Up! 🐶🎉

Meet our latest litter of mystery mixes! Mom looks like a large Beagle… and Dad (or maybe Dads 👀) left us absolutely no clues. What we do know? These 10-week-old puppies are adorable, hilarious, and guaranteed to keep life interesting.

Here’s the lineup:
🐾 Janice – The explorer. If there’s something new to discover, she’s on it. Also enjoys redecorating the baby pool with her toy collection.
🐾 Barry – The instigator. If mischief is happening, chances are Barry started it… and is very proud of himself.
🐾 Chip – The attention sponge. His hobbies include soaking up all your pets and staring at you lovingly until you give him more.
🐾 Tag – The tiny timid guy. He’s the smallest of the bunch, but once he warms up, he’s a total sweetheart.
🐾 Richard – The shadow. Loves to cuddle and will follow you everywhere (yes, even to the bathroom).
🐾 David – The chill dude. Belly rubs are life, and nothing fazes this guy.

All six are spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and have received the first two of three required distemper/parvo vaccines. Adopters will be responsible for their third distemper/parvo vaccine at 14 weeks and their rabies vaccine at 16 weeks.
They’re now accepting applications for Forever Homes with fenced yards, patience, love, and a sense of humor to survive the baby shark stage. If you would like to meet them please fill out the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about them you can contact [email protected] or call 319-929-6657. Adopters must be in a 2 hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA.
Indoor homes only.
Adoption fee $400.

🐾🎉 Five Little Labs Looking for Love! 🎉🐾
What’s better than one Black Lab puppy? How about FIVE of them! 💕 This adorable litter of 10-week-old Lab mixes is officially ready to meet the world—and their forever families.
Meet the squad:
✨ Willa – the tiniest at just 6 pounds, but don’t be fooled—she’s full of sass and sweetness.
✨ Winnie – 8 pounds of pure puppy charm, equal parts cuddler and toy-destroyer.
✨ Wyld – 9 pounds of zoomies, living life on the “Wyld side.”
✨ Winston – 11 pounds of curiosity, mischief, and snuggle power.
✨ Walter – 14 pounds of lovable chunk, the biggest eater with the biggest heart.

Each one has their own personality, but they all agree on three things: toys are amazing, belly rubs are non-negotiable, and humans are the best thing ever.
These pups are looking for families who will guide them through puppyhood with patience, love, and a fenced yard to run and play in. If you’re ready for laughter, love, and a little bit of chaos, one of these cuties might just be your perfect match.
The pups are spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and have received the first two of three required distemper/parvo vaccines. Adopters will be responsible for their third distemper/parvo vaccine at 14 weeks and their rabies vaccine at 16 weeks.
If you would like to meet them, please complete the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org. If you have questions about the them you can contact [email protected] or call 319-929-6657.
Adopters must be within a two-hour radius of Cedar Rapids, IA.

We begged. We pleaded. We even tried blocking it with baby gates… but the Puppy Portal from the Bethany Pound has struck again, and it has zero respect for our laundry pile or sanity.

Today it spit out three more adorable troublemakers:

🐺 Kita – 6-month-old Husky mix who is 87% sass, 13% plotting a sled dog uprising.
🧸 Rue – 8-9 week old mystery fluff, weighing just 6 pounds but capable of hypnotizing humans into giving her snacks.
🐾 Cece – 9-week-old, 7-pound Blue Heeler pup who’s probably already herded her foster family into the kitchen twice.

All three were found running solo and are now tucked in at their foster homes, dreaming of world domination (and treats).

They’re not ready for adoption just yet… which is fine, because we’re still busy trying to figure out how to seal that Puppy Portal before next week.

🐾 Bella’s Health Update 🐾

Our sweet Bella continues to make progress! She now weighs 34 pounds, that’s a 2-pound gain in just 10 days. We were able to stop her sub-q fluids on Sunday, and she’s happily eating her four meals a day.

This morning, Bella went back to the Anamosa Vet Clinic to see Dr. Kayla. True to form, she wiggled right into Dr. Kayla’s lap for snuggles. Bella had an exam and bloodwork. Her pancreatitis has resolved and there are still no signs of infection.

Bella’s red blood cells, hematocrit, and hemoglobin have dropped significantly. She’s very anemic, and her body isn’t trying very hard to recover. We believe something auto-immune may have caused her crash, so she’ll stay on an immunosuppressive dose of prednisone for now.

Now that her pancreatitis is gone, we can boost her calorie intake with high-calorie puppy food to give her body more fuel for recovery.

Bella’s vision remains a mystery—she can see some things, mostly in the upper half of her visual field, but not in the lower half. That means she can spot movement above her, but she doesn’t see food in her bowl or water in her dish.

Through it all, Bella is showing us her gentle, loving spirit and the will to keep moving forward.

Our sweet Hopper has found his forever! Not only does he have a brand new name—Beau—but he also scored the perfect new life complete with a built-in best friend, fellow Beagle buddy Arlo.

These two are already thick as thieves, and we have no doubt they’ll spend their days sniffing out adventures, sharing sunny nap spots, and perfecting their synchronized Beagle baying.

Happy tails, Beau—you’ve got the life every Beagle dreams of!

Stitch went to his new home a couple of days ago. Stitch is on the left and his new sister, Frannie, is on the right. We have gotten videos of the two bouncy Frenchies playing together. They are absolutely adorable together and their adopters could not have been happier to add Stitch to their family.
