The many sides of Mario are on full display in this post.

Mario is still waiting for his forever family but in the meantime, he is getting out to enjoy the Des Moines area meeting new people and dogs. At 6 months old, he is still a puppy but has all the basics down. He is about 30 lbs. right now and not expected to be bigger than 50 lbs. After he has socialized and played with his bestest Beagle friend in the backyard, Mario goes bottoms up for a nap!

His adoption fee is $300.

Cilantro is a 16 week old male puppy that has been patiently waiting for his forever home. While in his foster home, he has been getting his education from his awesome foster dad and is well on his way to getting into the advanced lessons. He is doing great with house training and socializes with other dogs and people everyday. He is kennel trained, leash trained, and such a good boy!

Check him out as he shows you what he knows already.

To know him is to love him...Hank is waiting for a family to meet him and make him a part of their family this summer.

The gorgeous gray/blue boy is fun loving and so very sweet. Hank is approximately 15 weeks old and 15 lbs. He loves meeting new people and dogs, has a great start on basic commands like sit, down, and shake, and is doing very well with house training. He will likely be a medium sized dog.

6/24 we have an approved app meeting her 🤞🏻

Our golden eyes beautiful girl does not understand why no-one has chosen her.😢

Once a shy observer, Cloudy has really come into her own! Once comfortable she greets you with leg rubs and happy purrs, showing just how much she loves gentle attention. While she still has an independent streak and enjoys her quiet moments, she’s also playful and curious—especially when toys or hair ties are involved. Cloudy would thrive in a calm, loving home that appreciates her sweet, mellow charm and lets her shine at her own pace.
She is in a foster home with other cats and a animal respectful kid.

Adoption fee is $0.00 because it has been sponsored and which includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines/cares, and microchip. Born approx May 2025

If you would like to meet, please complete an online application that can be found at: https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/198/hope-cat--application

Are you looking for a smaller, fun loving, active yet snuggling pup? Mario is your guy!

Mario is a 6 month old, mixed breed puppy that is house trained, knows his basic commands, and only around 30 lbs. He does well with other dogs, in fact he loves other dogs. He has met many children and done great with all of them. Mario has been working with a trainer and his foster family to socialize around town and learn about the world outside his foster home.

If you are looking for a puppy but don't want to start from scratch, Mario is your boy!

Unfortunately, Sully will not be able to attend the event. We have found that he needs a bit more time to decompress.
