Dogs for Adoption in Iowa Colony, TX: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

My perfect day starts with an epic game of fetch in the backyard. When we are not playing fetch, I love to start a game of "catch me if you can," so be prepared to keep up with my zoomies! After that, it's time to find some water. Whether it's a splash pad, kiddie pool, or even the backyard hose, I absolutely love splashing around and having fun in the water. Seriously -- I could play in the water all day. To wrap up the day, I'd love a long walk before settling in beside you for some well-earned cuddle time.

My Perfect Match

Energy Level: High! I need lots of daily exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment to keep me happy.

Home Preference: A home with a securely fenced yard is highly recommended so I can safely run, play, and burn off my energy.

People & Pets: Because I'm an enthusiastic young dog, I'd do best with active owners and older children who can enjoy my playful style. I have a strong instinct to chase cats, so I'll need a feline-free home. If you already have a dog, great, I'd love to meet them first to make sure we're a good playtime match!

Training: I'm already house-trained and crate-trained! I'm a smart boy who enjoys learning and would love to enroll in obedience class to polish up my manners.

If you're ready for a life filled with outdoor adventures, endless games of fetch, joyful water play, and lots of unconditional love, I'd love to meet you.

She is good with other dogs and would love a home where she can bond with her people, have a job of her own choosing, even if that job is simply keeping tabs on her property.

As with any dog, introductions to animals, routines and the property need to happen slowly and intentionally. New home. New animals. New relationships.

Knox seems to be house-trained, with just one accident on his first day, and he has already learned to use the doggie door. He was pretty wound up during his first few nights, but he’s beginning to settle into his new routine. With consistency, patience, and continued training, this smart boy should keep making progress.

Knox has occasionally shown some food or toy guarding, growling when he feels the need to protect something. While he has not bitten, this is something his future family will need to take seriously and work on through positive-reinforcement training and appropriate management.

Knox is looking for an active family ready for fun, games, and the commitment to help him learn his manners. He has plenty of energy to spare, a curious nose that never quits, and lots of playful personality packed into his 16-pound body. And when playtime is over? He’s happy to be a lap dog, too!

If you’re looking for a lively little sidekick who will keep you smiling and keep you on your toes, Knox Oath might just be your perfect match!

Despite everything he has been through, Woody hasn't let it dampen his spirits. He is a fun, friendly, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than being close to his people. He is a wonderful lap dog and especially enjoys being cuddled and rocked like a baby.

Woody is housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and does well in the car. He is playful and goofy, but also obedient, intelligent, eager to please, gentle, and even-tempered. He enjoys attention and affection and seems to have a naturally sweet disposition. We believe Woody could be a wonderful addition to a home with children, older adults, and other friendly dogs.

For now, Woody's job is simple: rest, heal, get healthy, and enjoy being loved. Once his body catches up with his happy spirit, we think this special boy is going to make someone an absolutely wonderful companion.

Woody has waited long enough for someone to choose him. Now he just needs a family who will give him the love and patience he deserves.

Life as a beloved pet is still a new adventure for Petey, and he's embracing it one day at a time. He has a big appetite and not just for food, but for love and attention, too. He adores being close to his people and is happiest curled up in a lap or soaking up affection. He's eager to please, even-tempered, and has been described by the veterinary staff as a "super sweet, happy boy."

Like many former strays, Petey hasn't quite forgotten that food can be scarce. He's an enthusiastic little trash scavenger, so keeping tempting snacks and garbage out of reach will help set him up for success. With consistency and patience, he's continuing to learn what it means to be a cherished family member.

Petey can be a little protective when first meeting new people, but once he realizes you're a friend, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through. He rides well in the car, gets along with other dogs, is great with adults, and is always ready to be your loyal sidekick.

Petey has overcome a difficult beginning and is now looking for the happy ending he deserves. If you're searching for a devoted companion with a heart as big as his smile, Petey is ready to wag his way right into your life.

Petey is proof that sometimes the sweetest souls just need someone to give them a second chance.

Hazel is house trained, does well in her crate, and is happy to settle in and relax. She is hard of hearing and mostly blind (but it doesn’t slow her down at all!) and requires daily OTC eye drops for her "dry eye," but these are an easy part of her routine.
Hazel was found roaming in the middle of a street, and we’re so glad she’s now safe and getting the chance to show everyone what a wonderful companion she can be. She would love a calm home where she can enjoy the simple things in life: a cozy spot, some cuddles, and a person to call her own.
If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet, easygoing companion who can be independent one minute and a total cuddle bug the next, Hazel may be your girl!

Hershey is SMART! She knows commands including sit, stay, come here, shake, “get your bone,” and “get your toy.” She loves to play, play-wrestle, run (and she is FAST!), and have a blast with her favorite stuffed toys. She is also housetrained. When Hershey first came to us, she was very nervous, and it appeared that she may have been dumped. But as soon as she realized she was safe, her personality quickly came shining through. And what a personality it is!

Because of what appears to be some trauma in her past, we do have concerns about Hershey living with other animals or being around children, so she would do best in a home where those things aren't part of the picture. We think she deserves a person who can give her the attention, structure, and love she clearly craves.

Hershey is such a beautiful, intelligent, fun, and playful girl. She has an amazing smile, a goofy side, and so much love to give. Her rough start doesn't define her—the happy, silly, loving dog she is today does. Hershey is ready to find her person and start the next chapter of her life
