Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Meet Tesla

Tesla is more like a shy little lightning bug learning how to glow than a spark of electricity.

At approximately 3 months old and 13 lbs, we are *guessing* she will end up a medium sized dog. Maybe some Border Collie or Australian Shepherd in the mix? Your guess is as good as ours!

This sweet girl is still figuring out the world one tiny brave step at a time. New people and sudden movements can make her nervous, and when scared she may nip, so a home with older kids who understand puppy boundaries would be best for her.

Tesla loves other dogs and would happily follow a confident canine friend around all day. She has not been around the resident cat in her foster home, so her feelings about feline roommates are still unknown.

She’s not house trained yet, but she *is* mastering important puppy skills like awkward zoomies, dramatic flops, and looking adorable while avoiding eye contact.

Tesla is the kind of puppy who won’t be the life of the party right away — she’ll be the one quietly sitting in the corner until one day she decides you’re her person. And once that happens, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her soft little spark.

Her adoption fee is $475 and includes future spay, microchip, age appropriate vaccinations, and a month of pet insurance

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
