Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Sweet Katherine is a fun little dog who enjoys going for walks, lounging in her yard, and going on adventures. She likes going to area breweries and pet friendly restaurants. She likes hikes in the woods and staying dry by the lake!
We usually crate Katherine when we leave the house, as she can be a barker. However, if left un-crated she will bark for a bit and then settle down. She likes being with her people and hanging out with them. She is a bit clingy, but this will eventually get better as she continues her obedience training and stay command.
If you believe that dogs need a leader, they need guidance, they need someone to tell them what to do and when, then Katherine might be a good match. She is not a first time dog. She is not a dog for kids. Katherine is a dog that is insecure and needs someone who can offer the leadership she needs. She's sweet, loving, funny, and worried. When she is in a home that expects her to behave, requires she follow directions, and doesn't ask her to guard the house, she does great!

All are tested for heartworms and, if they test positive, have either been treated or provided alternative slow-kill treatment. Dogs are provided monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Dogs are also provided additional medical care, as needed. This care may include amputations, wound repair, treatment for skin disorders, dental care, treatment for infection and other medical needs.

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
If you find a dog or cat in which you are interested, please email us for an adoption application! This is how our adoption process begins! Our organization is made up of volunteers who work full time jobs when not doing rescue. We generally have access to our email throughout the day, but not the phone, so please email for quickest response! Because we are at work, we cannot always answer you right away. Please give us time!
You can also fill out an application to be pre-approved to adopt, if you don't see a particular breed and/or dog of interest on our site. Once approved, HEART will hold your application for three months and contact you when a dog or cat enters our program that we believe might be a good match for your family.
It takes about a week to ten days to process an application, depending on the time available to our volunteers and how quickly references call back. If we must ask for information not included in the application, or we discover information not addressed in the application, the process does get bogged down and may take longer.
Our adoption fees vary depending on the type of animal of interest. Generally, cats are between $95 and $115. Dogs tend to be between $150 and $225.

More about this rescue
We are a nonprofit, all volunteer, limited admission rescue organization funded by private donations. We are committed to responsiblly re-homing homeless and unwanted dogs and cats.
We are a limited admissions rescue. We can only take in as many animals as our foster homes can safely and responsibly care for. We do not euthanize animals to make room for more. We simply stop taking in new animals until we have room. Each homeless companion animal will remain in our care until he or she finds a new home.
