Story
Living at Heartland for an extended period comes with lots of benefits. During my time here I have learned many obedience skills. Spending time in my crate in the office is a real treat for me. My house manners are good. I do like sleeping in big peoples beds. I make myself at home quickly. I’m very proud that I donated blood to help save a fellow dog friend in need. I’m a powerful lady but very responsive to consistent leadership. If you are experienced with large dogs and want a partner on those evening runs, I’m the perfect choice. I also have a very big bark. Obedience training is a snap. You will enjoy challenging my mind as well as my body, I promise. I weigh 88 pounds. I’m still a puppy at heart, happy go lucky but quite intimidating in appearance. I want to be the only pet in the home. I like being the Queen. Because of my strength of body and mind, I would not be a good choice for first time dog owners.***I am microchipped.

Story
My breed combination of Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Labrador make me a great athlete. I weigh about 46 pounds. I will need regular exercise and training, Chesapeakes are smart but strong willed. I respond well to positive training and know sit and down. I am working on my other basic skills with my staff. Consistency in my training will help me build confidence in the folks around me. I enjoy playing ball and happily toss it back to have it thrown again. If you are looking for an active friend to enjoy every part of your life, then stop in. I can`t wait to meet you. We will certainly have many adventures together.***I am micro chipped.

Story
Meet Trudy! I am full of life and energy. Pointers are known for their wonderful use of their nose to find birds and prey. I love to use my nose so games of hiding food or scented objects would be great fun. I am learning some basic skills to start obedience training and already know how to sit. Having an experienced owner that understands my breed would best. Stop in soon to meet me. I am micro chipped just like all my HPC friends.

Story
Meet Mavrick! Shepherds are great watchers of their flock. It could be a family of their very own, a home or anything they decide is their responsibility to watch over. They are very smart. That makes them great fun to train. Working their mind and body is the key to bonding with this breed. I am crate trained. People are my passion. Chain link fences are no challenge for me. Building a deep personal relationship is much more likely to keep me home. Come and meet this charming fellow. You won’t be disappointed!*** All HPC adoptions include microchipping!

Story
Meet Zando! I like to have attention once I’ve built trust. This can be a normal trait of a German Shepherd. We are known for our high intelligence and deep loyalty to our family. Throw in a high energy level with a can do attitude and the sky is the limit. I would do best in a home with older children and an experienced owner that understands my need to build trust first. I am a young fella that is looking for a best pal with patience as I continue to grow and learn. I am micro chipped.
