GEORGIA STOCKING
Pet Bio: Georgia is a rescue dog, I got her from Scott County Shelter in fall 2012. She is very protective. She loves
her stuffed animals (raccoon, jaguar, giraffe, lion, tiger, squirrel and leopard). She loves car rides and going for a
walk. She sleeps on the couch and usually props her head on the pillow and loves her being covered up in a warm
blanket. She enjoys liversausage, cold cuts, cheese, potato chips, pupperoni treats. On holidays, we give her a
special plate of food as she is part of the family. She weights about 20 pounds, neither the shelter nor the vet can
determine her real age but speculate she is 10 years old.

Juliet
Pet Bio: Juliet is my 10 year old little princess. She is a Coton de Tulear which is a breed of dogs that originated in
Madagascar. She weighs about 9 pounds and loves to go on walks, rides in the car and run around the backyard.

Tramp
Pet Bio: Tramp is 14 years old. He is a miniature
long haired dachshund. Tramp came to live with
me when he was 3. This little guy is a fighter. He
became paralyzed back in 2017 and battled his
way back. He now has about 85% movement in
one back leg and about 50% in the other. His run
is more like a hop! Maybe I should rename him
Thumper. But he can really move when he wants.
He likes to act like a big boss but is really just a
little sweetie.
Staff Member Name: Jill Lafrenz
Kratos
Pet Bio: Kratos is 6 years old and spends most of his time
under the bed. He has some anxiety issues with people. He
thinks he's a "big dog" when barking at two large Huskies that
live behind us. Kratos is very scared of thunderstorms and
fireworks. He loves carrots and snow peas as snacks. He is
a small dog with a big dog attitude.

Tyrone
Pet Bio: Hi, my name is Tyrone, and I am a mini-poodle. I am going to be 15 years
old this Halloween. That means I can get my driver's permit. My family adopted me
when I was 9 years old. I can't see or hear very well, but I get around the house
okay, like a little Roomba vacuum cleaner - when I bump into something, I just turn
around and keep walking! I am about 15 pounds, and I like to sport a
salt-and-pepper mustache. I like to spend my time napping and looking for treats to
eat. My favorite food is chicken, but I enjoy any human food I can get.
Staff Member Name: Micky Owens
Gracie and Charlie
Pet Bio: Gracie is 17 and was a rescue dog. She was adopted when she was 4.
Gracie's favorite thing to do is go for walks so she can lay down in puddles and
in the winter she buries her face in the snow. Gracie also likes to lick everyone
and sit in your lap. Her favorite toy is my slippers especially when I am wearing
them.
Charlie is 13 years old. He has a stuffed reindeer that has to go to bed with him
every night. We once spent an hour looking for his reindeer called Humpy.
Everything is his favorite food and he loves to chase the squirrels and chipmunks
in the yard. His other favorite pastime is eating.

weighing in at about 11 pounds. He loves to cuddle

for people food, even though he doesn't get to
indulge too often. He joined our family June 2nd
and has been spoiled ever since!

a really good jumper and can go over pretty high hurdles! He also loves to wrestle with his dad and pretend he's a
lap dog even though he is 52 lbs! Ever since he's been allowed on the bed he loves to lick ears and keep his
humans warm OR come up and squeak his pink elephant toy in your ear to wake you up and get the day going! He
is also learning how to listen better so he can help with his cow brothers and sisters on the farm. As you can see
from his picture, he is such a happy boy!

Pet Bio: Found wandering around the I-80 Truckstop by animal control workers in 2013. I got him from the Scott
County Humane Society. After getting stitches under his armpit, he had the choice of "The cone of shame," or this

Peanut (a.k.a Bear)
Pet Bio: After our last cat passed away, my husband said "No
More Cats!" Then one evening while he was grilling super, a
super tiny little kitten came out from under our sun porch. My
husband fed this tiny little thing and kept feeding her. She was
wild and wouldn't let us touch her. My husband then left on a
business trip for 3 weeks and I continued to feed her and
eventually tame her. She now lives a life of luxury in our home
as "His Cat" which I refer to as "his midlife crisis". She's an
indoor/outdoor cat and I am just the doorman. There for awhile
she was getting really chubby, so we cut down the amount of
food we would give her, but she was still getting fat. Come to
find out that Peanut would go over to our neighbors and cry at
their back patio door until they would come out and give her an
entire can of tuna everyday! She's a big Faker! She really
needs a collar that says."Hi, my name is Peanut. Do not feed
me. I have a family, I'm just a big Faker!" All the neighbors
know her now. She can be a real brat when she wants, but we
love her just the same.Staff Member Name: Lori Palmgren
Luci Lu and Charlie Ann
Pet Bio: We rescued Luci Lu from a shelter who rescues dogs from all over the United States. She had a litter of
pups before we got her and they had all been adopted out also. She was very afraid and shook all the time. She
won the lottery when we got her. She loves to play with her ball and loves to chew on bones. She loves to go bye
bye in the car and we spoil her. She is part beagle and rat terrier. She has epilepsy so we have to give her medicine
three times a day. We take great care of her and we get lots of puppy kisses for doing it. She loves to wrestle with
our Bengal cat and take naps with my husband and I. We love her! Charlie Ann is our Bengal Cat. She is like a dog,
she likes to play fetch. You throw her toy mouse and she will go and get it and bring it back to you. She likes to
wake us up at 4:30 AM. She likes bananas and caramel. She is a character. The other cat is Sophie, aka old cat,
she lived to be 16. We had to have her put down today. We will miss her.Staff Member Name: Peggy Guetzko

squeak. He is a large fat cat
that likes to eat and play and
eat again and then pretend he
did not eat.Staff Member Name: Nancy DeCosta

LBS and am 5 years old, my birthday is April 15th. My favorite foods are whatever is on the floor, dog food and
whatever my humans feed me. I love catching food thrown at me such as fries, crusts of sandwiches, pizza crust
and whatever else my human Juniper doesn't want to eat. I love to play football with my human Huxley and when he
is all done with practice I get to go out back and play with his team. My favorite is when I get to tackle them, I tend to
win most of the time. I also am a big fan of hugs, if you are not petting or hugging me I will lay on you until you do!Staff Member Name: James Pigney

looks!Staff Member Name: Clint Balsar
Lacey Balsar
Pet Bio: Lacey was brought into our family
fold almost 10 years ago and is still called a
"puppy" by anyone who sees her on walks.
She was a scared little girl at the Scott
County Humane Society when we met her.
She would shake like crazy from the anxiety
of being in the kennel with all the larger
barking dogs, so they gave her play dates
with a few of the cats in the office. She still
acts more like a cat than a dog. She never
barks at other dogs (usually just ignores them
and walks on by). She also LOVES to
sunbathe in any sliver of light she can find.
Lacey is the perfect lap dog as long as you
have a blanket and don't accidentally sit on
her, as she is always curled up inside of one!Staff Member Name: Wendy Shaw
Alvin, Sully, and Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter aka "Peanut"- little girl dog. These

dressing up in their game day attire to watch "The
Best Collegiate" football team in the state
dominate in sports on a Saturday afternoon. Go
Clones!Staff Member Name: Jenny Davis
Rose and Marcus Garvey
Rose the cat is not a typical cat. She is aggressively friendly and loves to eat
broccoli. In addition, she is a world traveler who has lived in Iowa and South
Korea. She was not a fan of being in her carrier that long. The best thing
about Rose is that I am her favorite person. She also is known to make
sounds that sound like Yoda!
We adopted Marcus just a few days before my husband’s first deployment. He
was already named Marcus but we added the last name Garvey. So he was
my sole companion during that year. He is now a old man who thinks he has
never been feed food ever. People who hate cats love Marcus. A few of these
people have given him nicknames like George! He is also a world traveler and
has lived in Tennessee, Iowa, and South Korea. He loves fresh water and begs
for us to turn on the faucet. He has never met someone he doesn’t like.Staff Member Name: Tricia Bird
Lucy
Pet Bio: This is Lucy. She is 15 years old. Her hobbies include laying in the sun and begging for wet cat food.
During her free time she likes to intimidate the dog and glare at human family members until they retrieve the wet
cat food. She likes to sit on human laps but makes it clear that this will be a commitment of no less than one hour.
Failure to honor this commitment will result in harsh meowing and more glaring. Apologies will be accepted in the
form of wet cat food.Staff Member Name: Ann Frost
Trine
Pet Bio: Trine loves people and especially loves when people share their food with her.Staff Member Name: Holly English
Charlie
Pet Bio: Charlie is an American Staffordshire Terrier/American Bulldog/Bulldog mix. She is a little over two years old
and close to 90 lbs. She has spread some couch fluff around the living room a time or two, but that face usually gets
her out of trouble!!Staff Member Name: Dana Whittemore
Palmer
Pet Bio: Hey! I'm Palmer! I love sticking my head out the
window during car rides; sometimes I try to stick my whole
body out the window because I love the feel of the wind! I
like long walks, until I don't. Then I just lay down on my back
with my feet straight up in the air until I'm ready to move
again. I am just now learning how to catch a frisbee, I'm not
very good at catching it yet so instead of bringing the frisbee
back to my humans I make them catch me first. It's only fair.
Mostly though I love my humans, they're my best friends!Staff Member Name: Julie Bolick

it.Staff Member Name: Connie Hoeppner

Mighty”. His favorite “busy” activity is Zooming! He does not run— he Zooms! His favorite toy is my 17year old
Granddaughter, Emma and when he plays with her full grown standard Poodles he is Zeus the Mighty, and in
charge!! His favorite quiet activity is loving on and hugging his humans. When he senses sadness he will quietly
“talk” to you and soon you feel comforted and happy.Staff Member Name: Laura Vyncke

night. Ed is now 7 and Bentley is 6.Staff Member Name: Lisa Tanner
Daisy
My name is Daisy, often referred to as crazy Daisy or lazy Daisy. I am a 6 year old white, freckled Pointer mix. I
work full time in security, keeping watch of my owner’s property. I excel at extermination of all wildlife and an expert
in snake, shrew and chipmunk removal. My owners have installed a 7 foot “puppy prison fence” to help me with my
job. I’m not afraid to excavate under the garage or in the planting beds to keep my owners safe from trespassers.
When I’m not on duty, I enjoy lounging on any soft surface and running—I am fast! Walking is overrated. Favorite
foods include apples, peppers, popcorn and tortilla chips. My nemesis is the motorcycle next door and my favorite
person is Zoe my human sister.You can also read
