Every day and especially today, we are honoring Veterans Day with gratitude for all who have served and sacrificed for our country. Today, we remember the bravery and dedication of our veterans and pay special tribute to Sioux City’s own historical landmark—the Sergeant Floyd Monument. Standing tall by the Missouri River, it reminds us of Sergeant Charles Floyd, one of America’s earliest heroes. Thank you to all veterans for your courage and commitment!

Please adopt these two girls 💔

FULL SPONSORSHIP OF ADOPTION FEES! Thank you Brooke! Interested adopters must complete our adoption application.

Why adopt a senior dog?
Instant knowledge! You’ll know right away their full grown size, personality and other requirements. They are couch potatoes, and who doesn’t love to cuddle their four legged baby during movie nights at home. Or better yet, TWO babies!
Eleven years old and roaming the streets alone, that’s how Ruby and Maxine ended up at a shelter. We know their names because they are chipped, though all other information is outdated and no one has reported them as missing. We also know that they are litter mates. These girls have never been without each other, and we would love to keep it that way! In the time they have been in rescue it has been discovered that they were loved by someone at some point. They snuggle on the couch, their recall is amazing, and they are happy participants in just about everything that people do. Bark Avenue Dog Grooming made sure these girls look, smell and feel amazing after a spa day! They are eager to bond and settle into a new home. They are just as loyal and loving as younger pups, and they would love the opportunity to prove it.

Ruby is a cuddle bug and will happily lay next to you on the couch to get scratched, and despite her old age she loves to chase a ball and will even bring it back to you! Though only a couple of small throws so she doesn’t hurt herself, but when she is done she simply takes the ball and finds a cozy spot to lay down with it by her side.

Maxine is an oh so happy girl! Her little butt wiggles when you talk to her and she comes waddling over with a smile! But, we haven’t seen her catch a ball yet. We think that’s because she knows that it’s her sisters thing lol!

But, where there is one there is the other, and they definitely lean on each other for support. Which is why we’ve made the decision to adopt them out together. Imagine going your entire life in what we can only hope was a happy home, only to then find yourself scared and on the streets at 11 years old. But at least they weren’t alone, like so many others. They had each other...

We want them to live the rest of their days comfortable, pain free and loved. We realize a fear of adopting a senior (or two) is that they might not live much longer, but we believe they have a few good years still left in them! And those few good years will be full of so much love and laughter for whoever does open up their heart and their home to these beautiful girls! Not everyone out there is looking to adopt a senior dog, let alone two at once. These girls are a package deal and we can’t bear to see them separated.

Both of the girls are spayed, microchipped, fresh teeth cleaning, 100% potty trained, up to date on vaccinations and eager to live out their golden years on a fluffy couch with plenty of treats and pets and snuggles. They are good with cats, children, other dogs, kennel trained and are ready for retirement.

Tomorrow is National Night Out‼️
Come out and say HI 🤓. I will be in Leeds.

Please post a comment if you know someone who has been looking for a very small home versus apartment living. Keeping in mind that the mini ranches and the bungalows of Morningside, Leeds, and the west side are all mostly 800 ft.² and below.
