My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Living at Heartland for an extended period comes with lots of benefits. During my time here I have learned many obedience skills. Spending time in my crate in the office is a real treat for me. My house manners are good. I do like sleeping in big peoples beds. I make myself at home quickly. I'm very proud that I donated blood to help save a fellow dog friend in need. I'm a powerful lady but very responsive to consistent leadership. If you are experienced with large dogs and want a partner on those evening runs, I'm the perfect choice. I also have a very big bark. Obedience training is a snap. You will enjoy challenging my mind as well as my body, I promise. I weigh 88 pounds. I'm still a puppy at heart, happy go lucky but quite intimidating in appearance. I want to be the only pet in the home. I like being the Queen. Because of my strength of body and mind, I would not be a good choice for first time dog owners.***I am microchipped.

More about this shelter

Heartland Pet Connection is a 5,000 square foot facility providing a safe haven for lost or surrendered pets and an opportunity for many families to find the perfect forever friend. Our mission is to serve as a voice for the humane treatment of all animals and better the connection of people to pets through education.

The Heartland Pet Connection is owned and operated by the Hastings Animal Shelter Association, Inc, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization founded in 2001. We are a non-profit organization, not managed by city or county government.

The concepts of changing the community's animal shelter was originally introduced to the community as The WAGS Project - Wonderful Animals - Great Space. It was born out of the compassion felt by many of Hastings area residents who wanted to improve the lives of hundreds of animals that passed through the dilapidated city animal shelter. The original WAGS Project was a grassroots effort that has expanded into a variety of avenues all carefully designed to serve the needs of people and animals in this community.
