Story
Sissy has returned to us after one of her adopters passed unexpectedly. She's wonderfully well-behaved on leash and has a settled personality once she is comfortable in her space. She does not get along with other dogs. She loves fetch just as much as she loves settling in for a cozy snuggle. She would love to find a home with an active couple who have lots of time at home with her!

Story
Meet Cottontail! He is about 11 months old. He has had his teeth cleaned and any retained baby teeth pulled. He is current on vaccines. Their stool has been tested as well. We perform full fecal tests for our rescue pets so that owners have the best knowledge going into a new home. They did test positive for giardia. They have now completed their first round of dewormer, but we still advise owners to be cautious as this parasite can be transferred to other pets and to people through oral ingestion of the infected feces. We recommend making sure the puppy stays clean and picking up their stool from the yard right away and washing hands well until a negative fecal test is performed. These babies came from a commercial breeder and are nervous of people until they get more comfortable and can see people aren’t so scary. They are scared, but very sweet. Most things will be new to them as they haven’t had much human interaction up until this point. We have found they look to other dogs to learn, so at this time we are only looking for homes with another dog present and they are also flight risks as of right now, so fenced in yards are required. An approved adoption application is required. The $425 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; vaccinations; fecal w/ giardia testing, monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention . Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption. Please note: while we welcome out of state applications, we do not ship our animals and require adopters to come to Holland to finalize any adoption.April 14, 2025, 1:16 pm

Story
Meet Razzle Dazzle! We believe this cutie is about 2 years old. He is about 70 pounds. He is such a sweet boy and is a staff favorite here at Mapleview and the rescue! Everyone loves to be greeted by him in the morning and say goodbye to him when they leave for the day.   Razzle loves all people! He has done well with other large dogs he has met. We have not yet introduced him to small dogs. He does need a cat free home. He likes to play and has a lot of energy! Razz needs some training with basic obedience and leash training (he has quite a prey drive) but he is eager to please and smart, so just needs someone with time to commit to him.   We have discovered that Razzle has some allergies which is not surprising with his beautiful white coat and his breed. He came to us with some very sore and torn up paw pads and wounds on his legs. He does better with apoquel, which is an expensive allergy medication. We are currently trying a hypoallergenic prescription diet with him to see how it manages his allergies as a more cost effective option longterm. But, he is worth it! He is such a good boy and deserves to be comfortable!   An approved adoption application is required. The $250 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; dental teeth cleaning (if needed prior to adoption); vaccinations; heartworm and tick disease testing; fecal w/ giardia testing, monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention . Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption.

Story
Meet Cooper; She is very sweet girl, who is looking for her fur-ever home. We believe she is around 3-4 years old and is a cattle dog mix. She came to us when her owner passed away and the other owner couldn’t care for her. Due to her breed or mix of breeds we are looking for a very specific home for her where she will be set up best for success! Cooper is pretty reactive towards people on leash and will nip at shins or ankles. She enjoys lots of exercise, biking right now seems to be her favorite. She’d probably do best as an only dog, as loves all the attention on her! She has had some interaction with other dogs on leash and she will correct them if their energy becomes to much for her.   Cooper also needs a kid free home.   We are requiring that her fur-ever home have heeler experience and be committed to getting her the training that she needs. Cooper will also need someone who is willing to do some training with her. **Cooper being a heeler mix does have high herding tendencies, and has a single “bite history” as she nipped someone in the calf.     An approved adoption application is required. The $200 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; dental teeth cleaning (if needed prior to adoption); vaccinations; and heartworm testing. Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption.

Story
Meet Thumper!  Thumper is currently in a foster home. His foster mom reports he is doing well with all the humans, including children, in the home. He does become anxious if he is left alone or if he isn't near their dog. He is doing well with potty training if he goes outside with their other dog.  He is about 11 months old. He has had his teeth cleaned and any retained baby teeth pulled. He is current on vaccines. Their stool has been tested as well. We perform full fecal tests for our rescue pets so that owners have the best knowledge going into a new home. They did test positive for giardia. They have now completed their first round of dewormer, but we still advise owners to be cautious as this parasite can be transferred to other pets and to people through oral ingestion of the infected feces.
