Story
Meet Chip! Chip is a 4-year-old dachshund–corgi mix with a big personality packed into a perfectly low-riding body. He came to us after being surrendered to a local shelter due to potty accidents and discomfort around kids. Once in foster care, it turned out Chip was dealing with a bladder infection—which has since been treated—and resolving that issue made a hugedifference in his house-training success. Chip can be a little hesitant with new people and lots of chaos, so he’s looking for a calmer, quieter home where he can settle in at his own pace. That said, once he feels safe, his fun-loving and affectionate side really shines. He’s a lively little guy who loves exploring the yard, keeping an eye on his surroundings, and soaking up quality cuddle time—especially being held by his foster mom. He enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well with a friendly canine companion, but he could also be perfectly happy as a spoiled single pup. Chip is crate trained, leash trained, and mostly house trained; he may mark in new environments at first, but consistency helps him do well. Due to his dislike of chaotic spaces and need for quiet space, it is best of Chip find a home with no young children. Chip is sweet, sensitive, and full of charm. If you’re looking for a loyal little sidekick who will thrive in a peaceful home and reward you with affection and personality, Chip just might be your guy. Adoption Fee: $350 Neutered, microchipped and completely up to date on vetting Currently located in the Greensboro, NC area, adopters must be willing to travel to NC to adopt. ##2613487##

Story
SadieDachshund Mix9 years old20 poundsFostered in RaleighAdoption fee is $300 Short list: Good with kids 5 and up, housetrained with a good schedule, apartment friendly, working family friendly, needs to be only dog, not reactive to other dogs on walks, cat friendly Sadie falls in love quickly and deeply. This girl LOVES her person to the moon and back. And she’s one of the happiest dogs we’ve ever met. She landed in our arms due to not getting along with other dogs in her home. After trying several different pack set ups, we have decided that she needs to be the only dog in a home. She does get along with cats so would do fine in a home with felines. If look up the word “wigglebutt” in the dictionary – you will see Sadie’s picture. She throws a ticker tape parade when she sees you and every muscle in your body starts wagging a mile a minute.  If she deems she’s not getting enough attention, she will tap you with your paw and then flop onto her back so you can’t help but rub her adorable belly. Sadie loves to be as close to you as possible, especially in the big bed at night. But when it’s time to play, this girl is all in. Her favorite thing in the world after snuggling is to play fetch with her special pink ball or pink boy. She will play fetch until your arm wears out – even bringing it back. We promise you will tire out first. Sadie also loves to go on walks and does great on a leash. She enjoys sniffing and chasing in the yard as well. Sadie is housetrained when kept on a schedule, but her family should expect accidents during the transition. She has lived with kids and would do great with a family with kids 5 and up, but would also do well in a family with visiting kids that are toddlers. She is crate trained and is a quiet dachshund – only really barking when the amazon truck shows up. Sadie is spayed, UTD on shots, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She had a dental cleaning with extractions while in rescue. ##2562311##

Schipperke

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jake is a handsome 4 yr old Schipperke (possibly mix). He is an excellent walking partner who can walk up to five miles daily.  He would also be a good companion for a hiker.  Jake enjoys trail adventures as much as walks in the park and on the greenway. Jake is a true Schipperke who is busy and seldom walks when he can trot or scamper. If you know Schipperkes, Jake will feel very familiar to you. Jake is smart and inquisitive but also wants to please. Jake is content to hang out with you, beside you, and/or on your lap.  Jake is not a barker (unless there is a reason to bark, like a stranger in the house), he is good crated and LOVES his routine of daily morning walks, regardless of the weather, with his foster mom.  Jake, like most Schipperkes, possesses extraordinary senses and an inherent suspicion of strangers. Jake could be an only dog or share his home with another dog his size, preferably a Schipperke. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME (NO YOUNG CHILDREN) WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD FOR JAKE'S ADOPTIVE HOME.  The secure fence must be 4ft or higher, with gaps no greater than 2 ½ inches and attached to the home.  An invisible fence, enclosed patio, terrace or deck, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing) it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT.  No exceptions.    We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Response time can take up to 5 business. Please inquire only if you are willing to come to Greensboro, NC to meet the dog after we schedule your home visit. We do not ship dogs or put them on transports. Veterinary Care: All Hart-2-Heart Rescue foster dogs are spayed/neutered, current on heartworm prevention, parvo/distemper, bordetella, and rabies vaccines, and are professionally groomed. As needed, our foster dogs have teeth cleanings, extractions, bloodwork and other diagnostic testing. Adoption Fee:  $400December 22, 2024, 2:00 am

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chip is an adorable 1 1/2 year-old, 10 pound Yorkie mix.  Chip's coat is coarse, which means low maintenance and low-to-no shed.   Chip is all terrier and an active and athletic little guy. He is quick and will dart for an open door, so his adoptive home needs to be prepared to manage a young dog and around outside doorways. When Chip came to us, he was unsure but learned to trust his foster mother and other women quickly; at the same time, he is slower to warm up to men.  Chip’s new owner needs to be patient and give Chip time to decompress until he becomes more secure in his new home.  Chip doesn’t mind being crated and is good at entertaining himself with toys. Like most terriers, Chip will bark when there is something to bark about.  He would be a great candidate for someone who wants to do clicker training and a good companion for a walker.  Chip is a dog you need to keep busy or he will figure out how to do that himself! The ideal home for Chip would be with someone who has experience dealing with unsure dogs and understands going slow and moving at Chip’s pace, and wants to bond with a dog through training and enrichment activities.  Chip will do best being the only dog in the home. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee. WE REQUIRE AN ALL-ADULT HOME WITH A SECURELY FENCED YARD.  The secure fence must be at least 4 feet with gaps no larger than 1 1/4 inch and attached to the home.  An invisible fence, enclosed patio or terrace without grass, temporary fencing, dog pens or dog lots or community shared fencing (dog park) are NOT considered secure fencing. If your fencing has "puppy pickets" (or is supplemented with garden fencing), it needs to be at least 36 inches high from the ground up AT THE LOWEST POINT. No exceptions. We are an all-volunteer organization, and in addition to saving dogs, we have other responsibilities, so we appreciate your patience and understanding during this process.

Story
Trixie is a charming 5 yr old Yorkshire Terrier mix, weighing in at a petite 8 pounds. With her adorable looks and possible touch of Maltese in her genes, Trixie is sure to steal your heart from the moment you meet her. Trixie bonds quickly and is loving, affectionate, and playful. She thrives on attention and enjoys being with her people. Her foster mom describes her as a wonderful snuggler who is happiest cuddled up next to you, especially at bedtime. Trixie is always ready to share her warmth and love, making her the perfect companion for someone seeking a devoted furry friend. Trixie is making great progress on leash walks and enjoys exploring with her human. However, she’s quick on her feet and will dart for an open door, so her adoptive family will need to be vigilant around exterior doorways and prepared to manage an energetic little dog. Trixie is still working on her housetraining skills, so patience and a willingness to continue her training are important qualities in her future home. While Trixie was surrendered with another Yorkie, we believe she would flourish best as the only dog in her new home. She loves getting attention from her foster family and tends to want all the affection for herself. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be your best friend, Trixie is the one for you. The adoption range for this dog is limited to NC, SC, VA and East TN. If you are interested in adopting this dog, contact h2hadoptions@gmail.com. There is an application process and adoption fee.
