Calhoun County Canine Shelter

Calhoun County Canine Shelter We are a small county run shelter that houses lost and stray dogs in Calhoun County, IA. We could also use some foster homes!

e are fortunate to work with the local prison to have the dogs trained in basic obedience, housebreaking, and socialization. This has done wonders for our adoption rate and success of those adoptions.

Is anyone missing this chocolate lab? It's south of Fonda on chateau avenue. It's not really letting anyone close to it so we really need to find an owner quickly.

Thinking about adopting a Cane Corso? Congratulations — you’re about to bring home a bodyguard, cuddle buddy, and personal shadow all rolled into one giant, slobbery package! Clyde has been through alot of is ready for a home for good!

Cane Corsos may look like stoic, muscle-bound superheroes (and, okay, they kind of are), but under that impressive exterior is a heart as soft as their velvet ears. These gentle giants are incredibly loyal, fiercely devoted to their humans, and hilariously unaware of their own size — expect them to climb into your lap like a 120-pound Chihuahua.

One of the best perks? You’ll never be lonely again. Going to the bathroom? They’re coming with you. Taking out the trash? Better believe they’re supervising. And don't even think about binge-watching a show without their head resting dramatically on your knee. They don’t just love you — they *adore* you.

Need motivation to get outside? A Cane Corso will happily accompany you on daily walks, proudly patrolling the neighborhood like it’s their personal kingdom. They're smart, too, and love to learn new commands — especially if treats are involved. Training becomes less of a chore and more of a bonding adventure (with some goofy mistakes along the way).

Yes, they drool. Yes, they snore. And yes, their farts could clear a room. But in return, you get a best friend who will protect your home, make you laugh every day, and love you with every ounce of their massive, lovable self.

Adopting a Cane Corso isn’t just gaining a pet — it’s joining a two-person pack where loyalty, laughter, and large dog antics are guaranteed. Just make sure your couch is big enough for two.

Today is a thank you day. Many of you know my personal life and the shelter have been very overwhelming lately. But in community fashion, coworkers and friends have stepped up! Thank you Liz for giving Mike respite from the crazy ❤️ thanks to OhMyDog rescue for taking Posie! Her winning wiggle won them over when here to pickup Snoopy. And thank you RAGOM for taking the big golden mixes into their program. That's 4 dogs that made it to those better able to help them at this time! And thank you Jamie for always being willing to help with stuff that isn't in your job description lol
It truly takes a village!! ❤️🐕
