MISSING IN PETERSEN IOWA AREA…

Stein is still missing - please share!! Reward is being offered. Peterson, IA C-16/460th and M-27/20th Ave

At this point, I truly believe someone may have picked up Stein. There hasn't been a confirmed sighting in a week. There are no vultures flying above and nothing indicating he's deceased somewhere on the property.

There IS A REWARD for information that brings Stein home. I'm not posting the amount publicly because missing pet posts unfortunately attract scammers and dishonest people.

If you picked him up, saw someone with him, or know ANYTHING please message me. No questions asked. We just want Stein home. 712-334-0021 and 402-237-2588

🐾 PET OF THE WEEK: OWEN🐾

This week’s pet of the week is sponsored by Custom Windows Plus LLC!

Our sweet, sweet Owen. Where do we begin?!

Owen came to us after his owner passed away, and as much as we love having his company here at the shelter we would REALLY love to find him a home to settle into.

You’d never guess with his active personality and youthful face, but this handsome guy is 10 years old! And at 10 lbs Owen is the perfect pint sized companion. He gets along well with gentle children, friendly and calmer dogs his size, and of course cats. Though cats beware: he WILL steal your food, despite what his digestive tract tells him (bad poops are fun for no one)!

A simple cozy life with a few walks, some reading time, and a treat now and then is all this little guy is after. We just know his perfect person is out there!

He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, had a recent dental cleaning, and is microchipped. His adoption fee is $275.00

FOUND …..
As cooler weather approaches make sure to knock on the hood of your car before starting it and apparently look down when opening your house door! This little one wandered straight in and got comfy at a residence in Orchard Lane!

Anyone missing this petite little squatter???

🐾 PET OF THE WEEK: ARIA🐾

This week’s pet of the week is sponsored by Custom Windows Plus LLC!

Hello there! I’m Aria, and I’m learning to live the luxury life—well, in my imagination for now!

At 3 years of age, I haven’t always known kindness and my past wasn’t filled with the nicest people… but everything changed when a wonderful human picked me up and showed me love for the first time. That’s when I knew my life was about to get so much better—and it has.

I may be blind and deaf, but I experience the world in my own beautiful way. My nose is my guide, and I love lifting it high to smell all the scents the wind brings. I always know when you’re near, and that’s when my tail can’t stop wagging!

I enjoy gentle pets, tasty treats, soft grass, and the feeling of the breeze on my fur. I explore life with joy and heart, and even though I’ve been through a lot, I remain full of love and hope.
I do well with other dogs and having a kind confident dog to be my buddy and help me navigate my world would be ideal but I’d also thrive as your one-and-only as long as you could help me adjust to my environment. Just being near someone kind is enough for me.

A few things to know: I enjoy using my voice when I'm super happy and excited (even if I can’t hear it), so I’d do best in a house rather than an apartment. And because I don’t walk well on a leash—I prefer to sniff and wander on my own terms—a fenced-in yard would be ideal.

I'm great at kenneling and I do prefer the enclosed style as versus the black wire kind and a big dog bed, a blankie and a kong filled with peanut butter and I'm in nap taking heaven!

I do like to play with other dogs if they want to play with me! So someone that enjoys that would be a super fun thing in my life but I do really love humans so a home where it's just me and people who adore me is fine too. Oh and kitties, they are fine by me! But only if they don't whap me! Sometimes I bump into them cuz ya know I can't see them!

I know it sounds like I need a “perfect” setup, but I promise, I’m worth it. Give me love, safety, and patience—and I’ll give you all the heart in the world. If you come and meet me, I know you will LOVE ME! I'm spayed, vaccinated and microchipped so that I'm all ready to go home with just the right people. My adoption fee is $275.00 and I'm worth every penny!
