Ollie had that kind of puppy charm that few could resist. We received many dozens of applications for this sweet boy, but in the end, he seems to have ended up right where he needed to be. Ollie’s new family lost their 14-year-old pup last November, and they hadn’t felt their hearts were ready to welcome anyone new until they saw him. They all fell instantly in love with his infectious smile and felt he might be able to make their family complete again.

Ollie is now Chewie, short for Colonel Chewbarka Jones, and his new mom says “He has acclimated so well and it feels like he's always been part of our family. He has been sleeping well and doing well with house training. He is loving going for walks, running in our back yard, his training treats, and giving us big hugs when we get home. The kids ADORE him and love playing with him and he has fast become their protector (my daughter wasn't feeling well and he stayed right by her side). Thank you for bringing this amazing boy into our lives!”

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THIS BOY SUCH A WONDERFUL SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE!!

Kylo is like a little ray of sunshine on this dark and dreary Saturday morning. This tiny boy is an 11-month-old Chihuahua pup with the energy of two (maybe even three) big dogs. He loves to run, he loves to play, and he loves YOU!! Kylo will run some of the fastest zoomie circles you’ve ever seen for as long as his little legs can carry him and then settle in next to someone for snuggles. Every time someone walks by his kennel, he does a little tap dance and practically bounces, asking to be picked up for some love. Although he’s being very brave as the tiniest of the tiny at the shelter, he would much rather his forever family come for him soon. For more information on this adorable boy or to fill out an adoption application, visit www.hsnei.org/adoptabledogs today!!

🐾 VETERINARIAN OPPORTUNITY - Northeast Iowa 🐾
Looking for a veterinarian who wants to do work that matters.
We're seeking a vet who's interested in shelter medicine and rural community impact. No corporate pressure, no sales quotas - just solid medical care for animals who need it.

What the job involves:
You'd be the medical lead for our shelter covering five counties. Think shelter medicine, spay/neuter work, and helping us build community wellness programs. Our Executive Director has veterinary experience herself, so you'd have someone who gets the medical side of things.

What we can offer:
$80,000-$120,000 depending on experience
Help with housing costs
24-36 hours per week (flexible on the exact schedule)
Professional development support
New graduates are welcome - we'll help you learn shelter medicine
There's potential for equine work if that interests you

About the area:
Northeast Iowa's Driftless Region is pretty unique - rolling hills instead of flat farmland, outdoor recreation opportunities, and small towns where you can actually afford to live. It's rural, but not isolated.
If you're interested:
Send your resume to [email protected]

Position starts August 15, 2025

MEET THE WHODUNIT LITTER!! Hetty Wainthropp, Lord Peter Whimsey, Amelia Peabody, Miss Marple, and John H. Watson are five little detective-themed pups on the trail of a family to call their own. These pups are not-quite-3-month-old Labrador Retriever mixes experiencing everything in life for the first time. The sad truth is that they were born inside a shelter and have only ever known cages, concrete floors, loud, barking dogs, and the tidbits of love and attention staff and volunteers could offer. However, these adorable pups are resilient and just as sweet and social as pups born inside a home. They are currently the perfect armful and love to snuggle. They are working on leash-walking, potty-training, and all the other things big dogs do, and giving it their best. For more information on this bunch or to fill out an adoption application, visit www.hsnei.org/adoptabledogs today!!

Riley is so picture-perfect her photo should be in the encyclopedia under “Dilute Calico Tabby.” This stunning girl has the best of both worlds with beautiful calico colors in the front and striking tabby stripes in the back. Riley is a 7-month-old gal full of kitten energy and sass. She loves to play on her own or with someone but prefers human companions to feline ones. Riley is a sweet, affectionate girl who enjoys pets, spending her days basking in the sun, and climbing up high to watch everything going on.

Newton says, “HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!” It’s a beautiful day, a brand new week is here, and this pup hopes it’s the week he meets his forever family. Newton is a five-month-old Shepherd mix who is just as sweet and happy as he looks. He has yet to meet someone who isn’t his new best friend, and everything he does, from romping around the Big Yard to showing off his perfect “sit,” is done with joyful exuberance. He’s a social, curious pup who is just learning about all the amazing things life has to offer, and he’s ready to get out there and experience them in his new home.

Little Arwen was recently found struggling along a major roadway in Decorah, seemingly unable to use her right front leg. With some rest, TLC, and a bit of informal kitten physical therapy like this, she’s getting stronger and using that leg more and more every day. Despite a rough start, Arwen is a tiny but mighty little girl who is ready to meet her forever family. She is a playful, adventurous little lap cat who is just as sweet as can be. Although the prognosis for her leg is unknown at this time, Arwen is available to go home through a medical foster-to-adopt. If you are interested in adding this adorable girl to your family, please start by filling out an adoption application at www.hsnei.org/adoptablecats!!
