My story

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

Our Dylan is back on the market after being adopted & returned due to a family member’s allergies. (Contrary to popular belief, poodles are not hypoallergenic- there is NO such thing as a hypoallergenic dog!)

Hi everybody my name is Dylan. I’m a 14 lb. Cockapoo that’s about 1 year old. I was recently returned back into foster care due to no fault of my own. Those darn allergies. I’m a very happy sweet boy who’s very food motivated. It does help when training. I will admit my leash skills are not the best. I love to get outside and GO!! This is where a little training may be good.

Pretty good about going outside to do my business, it is a good idea if I go outside first thing in the morning to relieve my little bladder. I need a little work on my socialization as I can be a bit on the shy side at first. As far as kids, I haven’t really been around them at all, but a slow introduction around new people including children is probably best. I am crate trained, but at night I currently snuggle up next to my foster mom in the big person bed.

I get along very well with other dogs. I’m a little guy so a small dog secured fence is probably best I do occasionally like to do my zoomies in the yard as well. With my longer hair I will probably need to be groomed on a regular basis.

I’d say I’m a mellow little munchkin who loves other dogs, toys and food. If you have the time and patience for a puppy, I certainly think I’d make a great addition to any family. I have been vet checked, neutered, micro chipped, heart worm tested negative, am up to date on routine shots including rabies and have been treated with flea & heart worm preventative. So I am ready to go to my forever loving home.

My adoption fee is $495.

You do need to submit an adoption application before a meeting can be scheduled to meet me in person. The application serves as a basis for conversation.

If you believe this wonderful little guy is for you, then go to heathersfosterdogs.org to complete and submit your application. Using the menu at the top of the page, click on “Adoption Application.” Submit your completed application & you will be contacted.

***Please note that we are a foster based group located in the southern suburbs of Chicago. Under normal circumstances, we serve only the greater Chicago metropolitan area.***

Who We Look For

In short, Heather’s Foster Dogs is looking for responsible, dedicated, and loving pet owners for our foster animals. This means a couple of things:

-You feel that pets are an important part of the family. They do not spend their days and nights living outside in the yard, chained to a doghouse or locked up in a kennel. Pets belong safe and warm in your home.
-You understand that regular veterinary visits with a licensed veterinarian are important to maintaining the health and well being of your pet. This means regular exams, administering medication when prescribed, and keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations.
-You believe in POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training only and will seek the help of an experienced professional trainer if necessary or recommended.
-You understand that adding a pet to your family is a commitment that should last for the ENTIRE LIFE OF THAT PET.

To adopt a dog from Heather’s Foster Dogs, you must…

-Be at least 21 years of age
-Have a valid form of identification (a driver’s license or
state ID)
-Verify that you are allowed to have a dog of the breed
and size where you currently live
-Understand that a fenced yard may be required for a
dog you are interested in
-Understand that training may be required for the dog
you are interested in
-Understand that HFD reserves the right to check
veterinarian and personal references
-Bring along all household members including any
resident dogs or children to meet the dog you hope to
adopt

TO ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS: Heather’s Foster Dogs is dedicated to eliminating shelter overcrowding once and for all. We understand the only way to really achieve this goal is by cutting down on the number of unwanted animals born every year. As such, HFD tirelessly promotes spay/neuter for all companion animals, and in fact requires this as part of our adoption agreement. If you currently own an animal that is intact (meaning it is NOT spayed/neutered), and there is no medical reason as to why your pet has not been spayed/neutered, HFD cannot in good faith approve you to adopt one of our foster animals.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Heather’s Foster Dogs does NOT ship animals. No matter where you live, no matter how far, you will be expected to meet with HFD in person for your adoption interview and pet pick up.

HFD reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant if we feel they are not the best fit for the animal they’ve applied to adopt.

And please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Email Heather’s Foster Dogs at heathersfosterdogsinfo@gmail.com and we will be happy to speak with you further.
