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 am sponsored and my adoption fee is $75.00

Story
HELLLLO Friends!! My name is Muffin and I am ready to be your best friend. I am potty trained, crate trained, and I know some basic commands. I am a little selective about what dogs I interact with, but I LOVE kids! I am a graduate of the training program at FIDO and I learned lots of good manners and some things I didn't know I could do... or should do, to be a proper canine citizen. My handlers are super impressed with how smart I am and how fast I have learned. 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
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! My adoption fee is sponsored by my friend Kathy Klug who comes and walks me sometimes! She says I'm a good boi!

Hey there, I'm Ralph! I am a pretty cool dude with a bouncing personality! I enjoy walks, cuddles, treats, toys, getting pet, toys, walks, cuddles... what can I say? I am an awesome dog! I was a stray found in Vermillion, after no one claimed me I ended up here at HHS! I am hoping to find a home where I can give plenty of love to people! The girls here don't know much about me yet, but I certainly am a people lover! I seem to be house trained, but have tons of excitement that I am still learning to contain. If you're looking for a great dog to bring around family and friends, or just chill right by your side at home, you just found the one. Come met me, I'm waiting for you at HHS!

Story
I’m looking for an active companion or family that needs a well behaved dog like me to complete their home. I was very much loved by my previous family and lived with children young and older. I was allowed free range of the house when home alone and loved time in my fenced in back yard on nice days. I came to HHS and travelled to the training program to better understand how to control all my excitement and happiness. I like to meet dogs before deciding if we are BFF’s but I generally get along with most male and dogs. I haven’t lived with a cat that I can remember, and I may play too rough for them! I am doggy door trained, and love fetch and being close to humans. I’ll bark before the doorbell ring if we have guests and give them kisses once you invite them inside. Ready for me! Let’s meet. My favorite activities include riding in cars, playing with dog friends, all the toys I can find, fetch, swimming during the summer and walks. I also love, love, love to run and jump and play so a running partner or trips to the dog park or fence in yard would be super great!
