Meet Paco — a nearly 5-year-old Pitbull with a heart as big as his smile.

Paco is every bit as sweet as he looks. He’s a happy-go-lucky boy, a true gentle giant who believes every person he meets is a new friend waiting to happen. His tail wags with his whole body, and his loving nature shines through in everything he does.

He was released to the shelter through no fault of his own — life simply didn’t allow his previous family the time he deserved. And Paco deserves the world. He’s loyal, affectionate, and always ready to brighten someone’s day with his goofy charm and soft, soulful presence.

Whether he’s leaning in for cuddles, trotting around with that joyful bounce, or simply sitting by your side soaking up attention, Paco radiates love. He’s the kind of dog who makes a home feel warmer just by being in it.

Paco would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself.

If you’re looking for a big-hearted companion who will adore you endlessly, Paco is ready to start his next chapter with someone who will give him the time, love, and stability he’s been waiting for.

Please call the Humane Society of North Iowa at 641-423-6241 for more information.

Adoption fee covers the following veterinarian services: spay/neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccinations, flea and dewormer treatment, feline leukemia/FIV test in cats, and heartworm test for dogs.

Adoption Fee: $250.00

Full Description:

Blooper definitely lives up to his name in the best way possible. This young pit bull/boxer mix came from a stray background, but you’d never guess it from how full of life and love he is. He’s got endless energy, a goofy personality, and a signature full-body wiggle that kicks in anytime he’s excited (which is often!).

He’s a huge lover with a constantly happy, smiley expression that makes it impossible not to grin right back at him. Silly, sweet, and overflowing with joy, Blooper is the kind of dog who turns every moment into a fun one.

Gilbert

 

Name: Gilbert
Primary Breed: Pitbull
Gender: Male
Entry Date: 03/28/26
Birth Date: 04/2025
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Full Description:

Gilbert is a gentle soul wrapped in a sturdy little pitbull body—a white-coated sweetheart with soft eyes that seem to ask, “Is it okay if I trust you?” Life hasn’t always been kind to him. He came in young, a stray, sticking close to his loyal pal Arnie, unsure of the world but hoping it might finally be safe.

Bashful by nature, Gilbert doesn’t rush into anything. He takes his time, watching, learning, quietly building courage one small step at a time. But behind that timid start is an incredibly loving heart. Once he knows you, he leans in softly, offering the kind of sweetness that feels earned and deeply real.

Gilbert is looking for someone patient and kind—someone who will show him that life doesn’t have to be scary. In return, he’ll teach you something too: how trust grows, how love can be gentle, and how even the shyest hearts can bloom when given the chance.

Please call the Mason City Stray Animal Shelter at 641-424-3617 for more information.

Cedar

Name: Cedar
Primary Breed: Lab Mix
Gender: Male
Entry Date: 04/06/26
Birth Date: 
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Full Description:

Cedar is a young Lab mix with a gentle heart and a quiet spirit. He was found as a stray alongside his friend Clover, who has already found her forever home—now it’s Cedar’s turn to find a family of his own.

Cedar is a very good boy, but he’s extremely shy and still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. New experiences can feel overwhelming for him, even simple things like doorways, so he’ll need a patient and understanding adopter who can help him build confidence at his own pace.

With time, kindness, and reassurance, Cedar has so much potential to blossom. He’s the kind of dog who may take a little while to come out of his shell, but once he does, the bond you’ll build will be incredibly special. If you’re willing to invest in a “diamond in the ruff,” Cedar just might be your perfect match.

Please call the Mason City Stray Animal Shelter at 641-424-3617 for more information.

Adoption fee covers the following veterinarian services: spay/neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccinations, flea and dewormer treatment, feline leukemia/FIV test in cats, heartworm test for dogs.

Kovu

Name: Kovu
Primary Breed: Husky
Gender: Male
Entry Date: 04/15/26
Birth Date: 06/15/2017
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Full Description:

Kovu is a handsome older Husky with a gentle soul and so much love to give. He came to us as a stray and, although he was microchipped, his previous owner chose not to take him back—something that truly breaks our hearts, because Kovu is such a good, deserving boy.

He has a sweet and loving nature and enjoys being around people, often “talking” in that classic Husky way to share his thoughts. Kovu can be a bit head shy, so he appreciates a calm, patient approach and someone who will respect his space while he builds trust.

Because of this sensitivity, Kovu would do best in a home without young children. With the right person, he will blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted dog who just needs a second chance, Kovu is ready to find his forever home.

Adoption fee covers the following veterinarian services: spay/neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccinations, flea and dewormer treatment, feline leukemia/FIV test in cats, heartworm test for dogs.
