Description:
Donna Lou Who came from Oklahoma in January 2025. She was abandoned at a truck stop where she became pregnant and gave birth. She was rescued when the puppies were about 4 weeks old. She and her puppies made her way to Hope Animal Rescue of Iowa and within a week she was diagnosed with Parvo. Thankfully, the puppies did not break with Parvo and have since been adopted. Donna was very sick for about 3 months and fortunately she pulled through with near 24-hour care for weeks in her foster home. Donna is an approximate 2.5-year-old, 30 lb., possible Cattle Dog/Heeler mix. When she first came into our care, she was afraid of humans and would avoid them be fleeing. Who could blame this girl? She is still shy and very submissive when first meeting new people, but she is so very sweet. She has come a long way the past 9 months and comes up to her foster family for pets. She is house trained, good with other dogs, has met a cat and done well, and is good with kids. She does need a fenced yard because she loves to chase birds and is used to having lots of space to run. Donna does well on a leash, but she has not gone for walks in the city since her foster family lives on an acreage. Donna is looking for a quiet home that can provide a gentle touch and time for her to continue getting used to being a family dog.
