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.

Story
Carmen 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 her cute videos! Carmen is what we call a Kentucky Brown Dog! She is a medium sized mixed breed that came to us from Kentucky in June 2024. Carmen was adopted into a wonderful family with kids, where she lived for almost 4 months until there was a fire in their home and they made the difficult decision to return Carmen back to us to rehome. Carmen is living in a foster home with one of our wonderful staff members, who has a pack of dogs that she loves. She loves every dog, really. She's a social butterfly with the other dogs, attended doggy daycare in her previous home, and has done well with small dogs, too. She loves to do zoomies around the dogs and jump on them and play. Carmen loves her people, but she is timid and finds some people scarier than others. Carmen does seem a bit more afraid of larger men and will bark at them at first, and takes time before she trusts them. Her foster dad is her all-time favorite person, so we know she can bond with men if they give her time. Although she loved the children she lived with previously, we do think an adult only home will be best for her. She will need slow, steady introductions to new people. Predictability and routine go a really long way. Carmen's foster says, "Carmen is so sweet!! Great with all my big dogs, will play with them and then when it's time to relax, she find a nice hard toy to chew on! She likes to follow you if you get up to go anywhere and sleeps next to you! Only had an accident the first night, gets up when wants to go out and she can hold it the whole night! Does get scared kind of easily, probably just because of what she's been through at such a young age. She runs away from the vacuum. She does do a perfect sit, and needs continued training, as she does have some puppy behaviors still. She's a great dog to have around, waiting for her furever home!!" Carmen's adoption fee is $250. She is spayed and is up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Mayor 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! Mayor came from Kentucky with his three siblings and landed in a wonderful foster home! Mayor is the perfect name for him because he is the leader of his siblings! He is Mr. Confident and will walk right up to make sure he gets some attention from everyone. He enjoys running around and playing with his siblings. He is still young so he will benefit greatly from puppy socialization classes and an adopter should anticipate working on housebreaking, teething, etc. Mayor has attended several corporate and adoption events and soaks up the attention! He is so loving; he is not a wild child. Mayor is well-socialized, and smart-- what more could you ask for in a pup?! Mayor's adoption fee is $400. This animal is neutered and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age. They will need a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age.

Story
Harvest is a young, energetic pup who is looking for someone to explore life with! She came to us from our shelter partner in rural Nebraska, where they have almost 200 dogs. The folks at her old shelter thought she would get noticed better with us, so we brought her here and made her a Heartland dog. It doesn't seem like anyone has taken the time to teach her anything, but Harvest is motivated and loves to learn. She's learning her basic commands quickly. Anything for a good treat. She also loves her toys and running around the yard! Harvest has canine friends but she does have a strong personality and may not be every dogs "cup of tea." Bigger dogs are probably best with her. Harvest is in boarding as we still do not have our physical shelter, and is looking for a foster home!

Story
Odin 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 his pictures to see his cute video content! If you look up "handsome" in the dictionary, you'll see Odin's picture. He is a long-legged, athletic dog with a stunning silver coat. At only 3 years old, Odin has already lived many different lives. When we first met him, he was at the Skokie Police Department, where he ended up after living with an owner who was homeless. An officer at the police department decided to foster him, and he spent 2 months with her training and preparing for an adoptive home, and he was eventually adopted. We were sad when Odin's adopter's living situation change, and Odin found himself homeless once again. His previous foster stepped up and he's back in her foster home, where he is doing great! Odin lives with large and small dogs. He lived with a cat happily in his previous home as well. His foster mom says he is housebroken and crate-trained, and stays in his crate while she works 9 hour days. Odin is a very energetic dog who sometimes needs reminders on how to contain his excitement. He can be so happy to see you, he does try to jump up, but he settles down with reminders. He LOVES to play ball, it's one of his favorite things. He will chase the ball and always bring it back to you, then drop it right at your feet for you to throw it away. His foster mom has taught him the "drop" command and many others, she has done a lot of obedience training with him, which he loves to do. Here is what his foster mom has to say about him: " Odin will warm your heart with his soulful eyes. He LOVES to play fetch and needs to be bribed to let the ball go when he is done. He loves stuff toys but nothing lasts longer than a minute so nylabones, bull horns and marrow bones are a must. He enjoys walks and short jogs. He is obedience trained and loves to cuddle. He can be a blanket hog. He can be a bit of dog for some. He deserves a lot of love and tons of patience for car rides." We love Odin and know he deserves a stable, loving, forever home, and we hope you will consider making him yours! Odin's adoption fee is $250. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
