Story
Yo, yo, yo! I’m *babyface* Nelson. One thing. If we're going to work together, I want it understood that I don't take no orders from nobody without treats. I can be a bit aloof with life, but nothing says love like a goofball. I am very sweet and love my humans. I will do anything for a treat and treat my toys with nothing but respect. I don’t bark for attention, but I have mastered the puppy eyes trick. If you need a mobster to add a little cuteness in your life, I'm your man. I have decided that I really don't like to be alone and crates are not my thing.

Story
HELLLLO Yankton! My name is Muffin and I am ready to be your best friend. I am potty trained, I know my basic commands, I get along fairly well with dogs, and love love LOVE kids! I do have a little problem with wanting to have everything in my mouth - like my leash, a toy, whatever is handy. But the next 8 weeks at FIDO will help to teach me different ways to get my oral fixation needs satisfied - or at least understand the word DROP. It does take me a minute to warm up but when I do, I am as loyal as can be. Come meet me at Heartland today!

Story
Wool, hullow there. Elvis is the name. You should know that I am a true gentleman and I pride myself on how calm and relaxed I am, though I can be a bit scared of loud or new noises. I am also a dog who is a cheap date because I don’t really care for toys…in fact, I am more scared of them than they are of me. Things I do like include, but are not limited to, being brushed, playing with my dog brother and being near my people. I am crate trained and am used to sleeping in there at night. I have lived with kids in the past and did well, but I will go lay down in a quiet place if they get too rowdy. Did I mention that I am cat friendly? I bet you are thinking that I am pretty stinking special- a handsome AND calm/well mannered dog. Thank you, thank you very much. Let’s meet and I can prove it!

Story
Hi, my name is Houdini. I can be a bit of a houdini when it comes to being lose without a fence or leash. At 8 years old, I am still so spry and happy. My owner passed away, which was really sad for me. I didn't really have another place to go, so here I am. The ladies here tell me that I pull a little to hard while on leash. For my future home I would prefer a home without small dogs. Im a little nervous about them. If you think you can give me the perfect home please call the ladies at HHS to set up a meeting. I am looking forward to it!
