S OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. My name is Coraline, and I'm not just another black dog! If you like action, entertainment and love, then I'm your girl!! I was born in Oklahoma around July 5, 2025, but then dumped in a shelter. I came to Iowa in early September, and I have to say, I love living inside with my people, and am enjoying all the comforts of a home, including my own comfy dog bed! But my foster momma says my new home probably shouldn't have shared walls (no apartment, townhouse or condo) 'cuz the neighbors probably won't enjoy my amazing "singing". And little kids? Well I think I would love them, but I'm told I have baby shark teeth, and I have to taste test everything, so probably no little kids for me right now, until I learn not everything goes in my mouth! I love ALL toys, but favorite toy is a giggle ball - or any ball or toy that makes noise. I really like wrestling with my foster fur siblings, and I think I'd like one in my new furever home that matches my puppy energy! I also think playing in water is fun, so if you want a water-loving girl, that's me! I am working really hard on kennel training. I don't love it....I really want to be with my people instead, but I'm getting better, and I sleep all night long in it and while my foster momma works. My new family will need patience with me, as I'm just a puppy and I need reassurance that my family will come back for me and love me unconditionally. I'm doing really good with potty training, and I let my foster mom know when I need to go outside. Speaking of outside, I love to play outside! So I'd love a new home with a fenced backyard! I love to run in the grass, and do a good splat when it's time to cool my belly down. Once I get some energy out, I enjoy ear massages, neck scratches, belly rubs and a lap to nap on. At 8 weeks old, I'm a whopping 13 lbs, so perfect lap size....for now! But I'm a growing girl, and will likely be a large dog once I'm all grown up! Do you have the perfect home for me? If you are interested in meeting Coraline, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
