FEATURED DOG

Learn more about Roger & Poe!
Meet Roger and Poe! These two loving doodles are ready to bring laughter and lots of cuddles into your life! They came into rescue due to their owner’s busy lifestyle​ and are in a foster home in Central Iowa. They are bonded so will be adopted together.
 
Poe is a 2-year-old Pyrenees Doodle who is very tall and weighs 68 pounds. She has a sweet personality, loves snuggles, and big stretches. She’ll happily plop right on your lap to get love.
 
Roger is a 1.5-year-old black Golden​doodle weighing 54 pounds. He’s a sensitive sweetheart with a goofy side. He adores car rides (and might try to “eat” a few cars that pass by).
