Meet Max, a delightful four-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever mix from Arlington Heights, IL, whose shiny black coat with gold accents reflects the warmth of his playful spirit.

With his calm demeanor and cheerful outlook, Max has a way of making everyone feel at ease, from little ones to fellow four-legged friends! Max’s favorite activity is playing fetch, and he’ll happily chase after a ball as many times as his caregiver has the energy to throw it.

Thanks to his formal obedience training, Max is a star at following commands like “sit,” “heel,” “jump,” “down,” and “back.” Whether it’s learning new tricks or sticking to his well-practiced routine of morning and evening walks, Max approaches every task with enthusiasm and focus!

Lucky is a very wonderful dog with a sweet disposition. He loves to sit in my lap with his sister Charms. He is a playful senior dog. He and Charms have so much fun together playing, wrestling, and running outdoors. Lucky is very well-behaved and obedient. The only reason I am rehoming him is because I am moving to a senior residence that does not permit dogs.

Story
Billie is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and/or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match! Scroll through her pictures to see all her cute video content! Are you looking for a loyal, chill, fun, and loving companion? If you are, then we already have a lot in common. My name is Billie and I am a beautiful, wise, 7-year-old, German Shepard with a loyal, gentle and nurturing soul. What I dream most about, is being by my special person's side. I see us hanging out in a quiet home where we can be all chill and cozy by the TV, having fun with enrichment activities, and going for lots of walks. I also want to show off my talents, and continue to learn new tricks and skills with you. You can think of me as a bit of a social introvert. Being with people one-on-one is something I love best. I feel most comfortable in very small groups of people and I do prefer people to other animals. New dog friends and strangers can sometimes overwhelm me. The volunteers and staff at Heartland rave about how fast I catch onto things, my snuggling abilities, and gentleness while on walks. I keep my kennel clean since I always do my business outside during my walks. Honestly, the folks are so good to me at Heartland, and I love my routine. Even though I am very happy here, have made a ton of human friends, and have settled into a great routine, I sometimes overhear the wonderful peeps at the shelter talk about how much they want me to find my forever person that I can call my own. I know that's what they want for me, even though they are really going to miss me a lot. I also know they will be dedicated to working with me and you so that we can get to know each other and have the best relationship ever. More than anything, I want to live out my best life with my special person who will make a forever commitment to me. I prefer a quiet, adult home, with one, possibly two people to love, and would like to be your one and only pet. In return, I will love you with my entire being and will make you very proud of me. Plus, there are some added bonuses, my adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor and I have a $250 training scholarship! My friends at Heartland are dedicated to helping us get to know each other and will support us along the way. What more can we ask for? Please schedule to meet me real soon, I have so much love to give. Billie's adoption fee is sponsored! This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative

Story
Scroll through his pictures to see his videos! Hamilton is a 3 year old little cutie who comes to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control. We've never met a dog that looks like him! He is like a mini-pittie/chihuahua or something. Whatever he is, it is adorable AND sweet. Hamilton is a wonderful little guy. Hamilton *loves* toys more than anything, especially the types that squeak. You can always get his attention with a squeaker! Hamilton and his stuffies...we love how he picks up his Space Man stuffy to go on walks and carries it around ever so gently in his mouth. His foster mom has been working hard on his training, especially to trade his toy for treats or other toys. He's even learning to fetch - at first he didn't bring the toy back but he's now learning the game is even more fun when you do. We think it's funny that Hamilton is a little finicky with his food - he knows what he likes and won't settle for less! Wet food? Heck no. Parmesan sprinkled on his kibble? Yes please! He will stick his nose up at different treats, but we've found what he does like and pupperoni is the winner. Hamilton has spent time in a foster home and he's done so well! We asked his foster mom to write a bio for him, and here's what she has to say! "Hi. I am Hamilton, but I answer to Hammy. When my name is called, I get excited because usually it means something good is in store.... a walk, a treat, a game, a ride. At home I lay on the couch, or my bed, or out on the balcony, and sometimes I go in my crate if I want some privacy - that's usually where I clean myself. Once I get comfortable with my human, I also like to lay on their lap and even roll over, so they pet my belly. I like to get a little all over massage whenever possible. I am curious, so I stop and smell a lot, but I just need some reminders to walk, or as my human says, "watch me", and maybe a treat when I am walking good. I am not much of a barker, so I am really good in an apartment or condo. However - I do not like rain, or sprayed water, or sprinklers. I often avoid going out in the rain so sometimes i have to be coaxed out to do my business. I am a wonderful boy!" Hamilton's adoption fee is $250. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
