Story
Meet Holly, will get better pictures once she is groomed. This doll and a sweety, coming around nicely and loves attention. She is a maltese/yorkie mix. I would say mostly maltese since she is a cream color. She weight in at 3.4 at her wellness exam. vet cleared her for adoption. She is complete vetted including being spayed and is ready for a home. We would prefer a home with no small children because of her size. So teenagers and up would be ok. If your interested in adopting her please email for an application at helpapoochrescue@gmail.com Her adoption fee is 750.00

Story
Snow White is living in a foster home! Please submit an application from our website or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to see if you're a match! Our cutest little gal, Snow White, came to us as a breeder release earlier this month and has been soaking up all the love in a foster home ever since! She is making great strides to acclimate to not living in a cage and being used for breeding, but she still has a ways to go since the whole world is new to her! She is still trying to master going potty outside, but has been doing well with pee pads. Her favorite thing is her foster dog sister! She has done well being left alone for a few hours at a time and will even snuggle in for some pets when she is feeling comfortable! Here is what her foster dad has to say about her! "Snow White, or Snow, for short has the sweetest personality and face. She is a breeder release and is still learning on how to be a dog. She absolutely loves her foster sister and mimics absolutely everything she does. Snow is getting a little braver each day and we have even begun to see her tail start to wag. She crates nice at night and so far, has been a lower energy dog. For example, she enjoyed six+ hours of snuggle time on the couch watching football this past weekend. She is not sure what to do with treats or toys yet and humans are still a little scary if standing or on the move, but on the couch, she will inch up to you for a snuggle. She is also learning what it is like to be outside and walk on a leash is. Snow is good with anyone holding her. Snow would be prefect dog for someone with looking for super sweet companion on the calm side. It will take some patience to help her continue to learn how to be a dog. Snow takes comfort around her foster sister. An ideal home would have a brother or sister dog so she can continue to gain the comfort and a dog to model behaviors from." We hope a patient, understanding adopter will open their home to this little cutie! Snow’s adoption fee is $375. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative. She will be receiving a dental at Heartland on December, 31st.

Story
🍂 Blinky: A Gentle Heart in a Tiny Package There’s a special comfort in the quiet presence of Blinky, a senior Maltese who has weathered life with grace and kindness. A former stray, Blinky has some dental issues, and likely experiences oral discomfort, yet he remains polite, affectionate, and full of gentle love while we determine the best care plan for him. He thrives in calm, patient homes where his slow, sweet ways can be appreciated. Blinky enjoys quiet laps, soft pats, and the peaceful rhythm of everyday life — a gentle companion for those who treasure warmth, patience, and a quietly loyal friend. Invite Blinky into your home, and you’ll discover the joy of a dog whose heart is bigger than his tiny frame, and whose presence brings calm, comfort, and quiet love. Hear what Blinky's foster has to say about him! "Blinky’s happy place is the yard or your lap. He’s blind and mostly deaf so the yard is a wonderful place for him to feel the textures under his feet and take in all the smells. So far he hasn’t minded any type of weather—not cold, not rain. He loved the snow today using his nose to throw it up in the air. He is also content to curl up beside you if you are working on the computer or on the couch while you watch TV. At dinner time he will lay on the wood floor (easier to feel your footsteps). He likes napping close by while smelling the food aromas. He is can learn to find things in the house if you keep things in place. He has been able to find the water bowl on his own. He is crate trained and will sleep in his crate at night."
