Story

🐾 Meet Chaske – Your Adventure Buddy in the Making! 🐶 1 Year Old | Mixed Breed | House-Trained & Ready to Roll! Hi there! I’m Chaske—a one-year-old bundle of joy with a wagging tail, a big heart, and an even bigger love for life! Whether it's hiking, walking, riding shotgun on car trips, or just zooming around the yard, I'm always up for an adventure. I get along great with other dogs and love making new friends—human or canine! Cats? Well… let’s just say I get a little too excited around them, so a cat-free home might be best for everyone. I adore humans of all sizes, and did I mention I’m house-trained? Yep, I’ve already mastered that part of being a grown-up dog. Bonus points for me! If you're the active type and need a loyal sidekick who’s always ready to explore, play, and cuddle when the day winds down—look no further. I might just be your perfect match. 📞 Call Heartland to schedule a meet and greet—I can’t wait to start our adventure together!

Story

🐶 Meet Cooper! Hi there! I’m Cooper, a 4-year-old Bullador — that’s a mix between an American Bulldog and a Black Lab. Pretty great combo, right? It means I’m a big, handsome guy with the best of both breeds: energy, loyalty, and a heart full of love. I’m a friendly, social fellow who enjoys spending time with everyone — people, other dogs, even cats! I also get along well with kids, so I’d be a great fit for a family that loves to play and explore. I’m house-trained and currently attending the PAWS training program in Yankton, where I’m learning good manners and commands so I can be the best version of myself. Don’t worry — you can still meet me! Just give Heartland a call to set up a meet and greet, and they’ll make sure I’m ready to say hello. If you’re looking for a big, loving, playful companion, I might just be your perfect match. ❤️

Jackson

Shih Tzu

Male, 11 yrs 1 mo

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you’re the kind of person who believes senior dogs deserve the BEST years of their life, meet Jackson—the little old gentleman who will melt your heart. At 11 years old, Jackson is absolutely a senior, but he is so incredibly sweet that everyone who meets him falls in love instantly. He may not see the world anymore, but he hears just fine and follows the sound of your voice with the sweetest earnestness. Jackson is blind and has a collapsed trachea, so you’ll sometimes hear him give a little cough, especially when he’s adjusting to new surroundings. He just needs a few days to learn the layout and gain confidence in a new home—but once he does, he settles beautifully. His foster can’t say enough wonderful things about him. He’s calm, gentle, and seems to be housetrained. Best of all? Jackson LOVES to snuggle in bed at night, nestling in like he’s been your dog forever.

🐾 Meet Hank: The Happy Mystery Man Ready for Adventure! 🐾 Hi there! My name is Hank, and I’m a 3-year-old Terrier mix with a big smile and an even bigger heart. I arrived at Heartland through the local pound, but no one came to claim me—so now I’m on the lookout for the loving forever family I’ve always deserved. Since my past is a bit of a mystery, no one knows exactly how I feel about other dogs, cats, or children just yet. But what is clear is that I’m a happy, friendly guy who loves making new human friends and exploring the world around me. I’ve got plenty of energy for playtime, walks, hikes, and all kinds of adventures. If you’re an active person looking for a cheerful sidekick, I’d be thrilled to join you on every journey. If you’re hoping to add a wonderful dog to your family, I might just be the right match. Give Heartland a call to set up a meet-and-greet—I can’t wait to meet you!
