My guess is you want to do something like this (Note untested code):

Future<DBObject> load(DBObject object, String id) {
   var query = "select ... where id='$id'"; // Note: check for SQL injection.
   return pool.query(query)
    .then((result) => result.toList())
    .then((list) => list.forEach((row) => object.import(row)))
    .then((_) => object);
}

Have you read this article about using Futures?

The key point is if a method is asynchronous, and the calling code needs to wait for it to complete, then it must return a Future object (or a Stream in some cases). There is no way in Dart to get a function to "block" waiting for an asynchronous result. Feel free to ask some more questions in the comments.
