Story

Luna is a sweet, young girl who is looking for a family to grow up with! She is shy at first, and really likes to get snuggles and pets. Once she gets comfortable, she is your typical puppy who loves to play! We estimate her mom to be about 50 lbs, but we do not know anything about the dad. We think she will likely be medium to large when full grow.

Story

Shadow is a sweet young puppy who is looking for a family to grow up with! His mother has a friendly personality and is estimated to be about 50lbs and a shepherd mix of some kind. We aren't sure about the dad, but he sure looks like his mom! He is timid at first, enjoying lots of snuggles and pets. He warms up, though, and is ready to play!

Story

Hey everyone! We are looking to re-home Mr.Cooper. He is a little over 1 year old, 70lbs, 2ft Tall and 3 1/2ft long. He’s up to date on all shots. He is a border collie/blue heeler/hanging tree pup, so he’s very physically and mentally active. He loves to run and play tug of war or fetch. Cooper loves treats, is very loyal, potty trained and listens to simple commands. Cooper does get over stimulated in high activity and very loud environments which may cause him to react with nipping or biting. We are rehoming him because he doesn’t always get along with small children. We recommend him wearing a muzzle around any children and/or unwanted company. Cooper would thrive the best on a ranch or a farm where he can run and explore. We have toys, food, a kennel, and tools that have help upkeep him. We would like to keep those items with him to help him settle into his new home.

Story

I’m a bubbly 2-year-old boy who made my way to Heartland Humane Society for doggy school—and guess what? I graduated in February with flying colors! I’ve mastered all the basics: leash walking, essential commands, and how to be a polite pup around strangers, new friends, and fellow animals. I’m a quick learner and love to show off my good manners! When new folks come to visit me, they always comment on how calm and composed I am indoors. I can patiently wait for my humans to be ready—no jumping or whining, just good-boy vibes. But don’t let my calm side fool you—outside, I’m playful, energetic, and love a good romp around! Whether it’s fetch, tug, or a zoomie-filled play session, I’m all in. I’m tall, lanky, and (according to the staff) ridiculously handsome. I get along great with other dogs too! I’m the total package—smart, sweet, playful, and polite. Come meet me and see for yourself

Cashew

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Male, 12 yrs

Aberdeen, SD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Name: Cashew Approximate Age: 12 yearsPossible breeds: Yorkie Good with kids: Will likely do fine but would love a quiet householdGood with dogs: Yes - meet & greet requiredGood with cats: Unknown Housebroken: Yes - with scheduleCashew came from Redfield, SD as a stray that went unclaimed. He`s an older gentleman who just wants a lap to sit in. He doesn`t have any teeth so he loves his wet food but also still chows down on some small kibble. He has some minor hearing and sight impairment but that`s not unusual for his age. We are searching for a quiet, low pace household for him to retire in. He seems to be dog friendly but we will only be placing him in a home with calmer, relaxed dogs. We`re also sure he is kid friendly but he doesn`t want to have to deal with rambunctious kids, so older respectful kids are the best option for Cashew. You can tell that life hasn`t been the nicest to him, so he deserves only the best in his remaining time.
