Birth Date: 2010
Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Rescued on the 1300 clock of South Pennsylvania on a busy Saturday night, I was quickly taken to the shelter. Having now been here for several months, I have been lectured about the dangers of roaming around the streets and promise never to stray from my forever family again.
Docile and friendly, I am also gentle and respectful. More than willing to pass out sloppy kisses to anyone who will let me, I hope for a family to come in and fill out an application with my name on the top. Won’t that family please be yours?

Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: When I strayed onto the property of a complete stranger in the 300 block of 23rd St. SW, she saw to it that I made it to the safety of the shelter. Being the super sweet and high energy gal that I am; I’m happy about all things in life and try to show that by way of my expressions and mannerisms. One thing I am not happy about is being here at the shelter!! I spend my nights dreaming of chasing a tennis ball in my own back yard and cuddling up on the couch. Hint, hint! Won’t you please consider me today? Please call the Mason City Stray Animal Shelter at 641-424-3617 for more information. Photo courtesy of Arickx Photography.

Gender: Male
Entry Date: 10/25/2012
Birth Date: 2009
Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Brought to the shelter from the 1600 block of South Delaware, I was sporting only a choke collar. Unfortunately, a collar that lacks a rabies tag or city license; or any type of identifying tags doesn’t serve much purpose.
A high energy guy, a would do best with an active family who enjoys lots of exercise. Having been blessed with a kind and fun-loving temperament, shelter staff have described me as “one-of-a-kind”. As gentle as a lamb, I look forward to finding an active forever family. Won’t that family please be yours?

Entry Date: 10/31/2012
Birth Date: 12/2011
Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Hanging out around the Key Apartments, Animal Control quickly showed up to transport me to the shelter. Soon after my arrival, my original owner learned I was here. He chose to give me the opportunity to find a perfect forever home. But, he also shared with shelter staff a little about this goofy girl. I know how to sit, shake, and give kisses. I love getting rubber bones or new rope toys but my all-time favorite thing in the world is riding in a car! I love being able to sprawl out in the backseat and feel the wind in my ears. He also shared that, on a scale of 1-10 for house training, he would award me with an eight and said that I will sit by the door and whine to alert you of my needs. A high-energy gal, I am looking for a family who can handle my goody antics and is willing to play to my heart’s content. Won’t you please consider me today? Please call the Mason City Stray Animal Shelter at 641- 424-3617 for more information. Photo courtesy of Arickx Photography.

Primary Breed: Pitbull Terrier Mix

Entry Date: 11/13/2012
Birth Date: 8/2011
Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Plucked from potential danger in the 600 block of S. Jersey, I am trying to remain confident at finding a forever home. I have learned since coming to the shelter that pit bulls are one of the most misunderstood breed of dogs. We are often portrayed as vicious and mean. We are not! We are very good family dogs and protective of that family. I have proven, since my arrival, that I am a sweetheart and mindful of my manners. I have also shown that I do pretty well with the other dogs here and absolutely adore any second of attention I can get. Still, I dream of a forever family who will love and cherish me for the rest of my days. Won’t that family please be yours? Please call the Mason City Stray Animal Shelter at (641) 424-3617 for more information. Photo courtesy of Arickx Photography.

Name: Goldie
Primary Breed: Golden Retriever Mix
Gender: Female
Entry Date: 01-09-2013
Birth Date: *2006
Adoption Fee: $110.00
Full Description: Abandoned by my previous owner and left to perish, I have since been rescued by a team of some mighty fine people.
As a result of my past I have lost my tail, but that is the least of my worries. What concerns me most these days is that I won’t ever find a family who will cherish and adore me, always keeping my best interests in mind. I so want, and deserve, at least that.
Do not let my age fool you, I am full of energy and eager to live life to the fullest. After spending some time at the shelter, it has been determined that I cannot live with other dogs or cats. Due to my past, I suffer from some anxiety. I will require a lot of time, love, and patience. Although they have received many applications for me, they have yet to find just the right fit. If you think that you can provide Goldie with her forever home, please call the Humane Society of North Iowa at 641-423-6241 for more information. Photo courtesy of Arickx Photography.
Name: Landon
Primary Breed: Jack Russell Terrier

Entry Date: 01/11/2013
Birth Date: 4/1/2006
Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Released to the shelter when my previous owner had to move, I feel that I have been gifted with a brand new chance at life. Having lost my eyesight two years ago it does not bother me in the least. I enjoy listening to sounds around me and even some times adding my own. :). I do so love car rides and know how to sit for a scrumptious treat. I get along well with respectful children and am okay with small dogs and cats, once I am familiar with their scent. House trained, my favorite place is a warm lap, and once settled I like to take a siesta. I truly am all you could ask for, and more, so I strongly encourage you to please call the Humane Society of North Iowa at 641-423-6241 for more information about me.

Name: Aussie
Primary Breed: Australian Shepherd
Gender: Male
Entry Date: 2/19/13
Birth Date: 5/10/10
Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Released to the shelter because I was being kenneled too much, I am pleased to be here! You see, I am a social fella by heart and only want to meet new people. But therein lies the problem, I failed to let my previous owner know that I was going to visit the neighbors and instead would just run off.
Having been an outside dog my whole life I am looking forward to the comforts of indoor living. I am not a fan of sharing my house with other animals but I do indeed enjoy the company of people. I have never been exposed to younger children, I have been around teenagers. I love my stuffed toys, especially teddy bears and absolutely love car rides. If you have room in your home for me, I am ready to meet you today! Please call the Humane Society of North Iowa at 641-423-6241 for more information. Photo courtesy of Arickx Photography.

Adoption Fee: $135.00
Full Description: Picked up near NIACC, I was only trying to further my education. Now here at the shelter, I am getting a crash course in what could have happened had I not been picked up by Animal Control. All the dogs here are really nice and are explaining to me the dangers of the dangers of the wild. Described as being a big puppy, I am of course full of energy. A staff member here has said that I have only one gear: full throttle. Its true! I am always ready for a game of fetch or tug or to just go for a good long walk. Very treat oriented, I will indeed be easy to train. Won’t you please consider this goofy puppy today?

Adoption Fee:$110.00
Full Description: I have all of the typical traits of my breed. I’m playful, loving and protective of my owner. I have been around a variety of other animals and am playful with all. Having had a lot of “drama” in a previous home, I would love a quiet home with a consistent routine. With this being said, I need you to know that I am no couch potato! I still love my play times as much as I like a good cuddle. I tell you upfront, I am no purse puppy. I do not like to be held, but rather I like to stand on my own 4 feet. Yep, I am a Doxie and proud of it! I need a home with no children, as they provide too much stimulation and unpredictability for me and I may act out in excitement. As an only child, I can be the king of my castle which suits me just fine! Please call the Humane Society of North Iowa at 641-423-6241 for more information. Photo courtesy of Arickx Photography.
