Story
MARR covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Ace is being fostered in MO currently. However, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area. Ace is a playful, sweet and loving boy. He is such a happy dog, all smiles and rolls for belly rubs! Ace is good with adult men and women as well as dog savvy kids, ages 4 and up. He has been good with large dogs but prefers females. Small male dogs were very interesting to him, he seems to have a prey drive with smaller animals so his furever home would only have large, preferably female, dogs. He LOVES to play rough with other dogs; his Foster tells us he is assertive, not aggressive. Ace does pull on the leash, but his Foster tells us he is improving. He has learned sit, down, kennel and is working on wait, backup and heel. He is Food Motivated and hasn’t met a treat he didn’t like. He will take each one gently, but it never hurts to remind him to mind his manners. Ace will be more than happy to play fetch and chase if you have a ball or anything with a squeaker. Ace does not have food aggression, but he does try to steal treats from other dogs although he has no problem with other dogs being near his food or treats. Ace is Crate Trained and does not have Separation Anxiety. Ace needs his decompression period, but he is such a wonderful, loving and playful pup. He will play fetch and chase for hours and hours before taking a 15-min break and going for more. A large backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence would suit him best. This Good Boy will make a wonderful addition to your home!

Story
Name: Bambam Location: Ulysses, Kansas Sex: Male Weight: 70 Spayed/Neutered: Age: 2 years Good with Men: Yes Good with Women: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: No Children: Yes House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Medical Issues: none Immunizations: UTD Rabies: 1/7/25 Parvo/distemper: 12/30/24 Bordatella: 12/30/24 Heartworm test: Negative 12/30/24 Fecal test: UTD Preventatives: UTD Characteristics: Bambam was roaming the country for about a week with his "sister" Pebbles. When I found them they both came trotting to the car with a wiggle and loaded themselves up. BamBam has a deadline of 1/11 due to shelter space restrictions. Although they are a bonded pair, they can be rescued separately (although it would be ideal for them to be rescued as a pair). BamBam has been a gentleman and has shown no issues. He did not like when I went to check his testicles out, as it looks like he's been neutered but i swore i felt something. I have photos if you have questions. He is more independent than his sister but loves butt scratches and love. He will gentle jump up to give you a hug and get pets. He lays quietly in the kennels , even when 20+ other dogs are barking like crazy. He seems to be medium energy. He enjoys being outside. He is skinny and could afford to gain a bit of weight. He has been a good boy. He has not seen a vet but let me do a physical exam. He did not like me checking out if he was neutered or not. Did let out a small growl but did not go any further. He has been great with men and women and met a two-yr old through the fence and he licked his hand and walked away. He walks past all other dogs in the shelter and ignores then but does great with his "sister." BamBam has not shown any resource guarding with food or toys. He allows me to pull both away from him. He has allowed me to touch all over his body besides his testicles. He let out a short growl and when i backed off he carried on like nothing happened. He is overall a happy boy. BamBam likes to lay on your lap in the car. Notes from evaluator: BamBam did see an intact male walk into shelter past his kennel and he did charge in the kennel. I immediately “uhuh no sir” and he backed right up and stopped and sat down. BamBam is extremely food motivated and would benefit from a slow feeder. He does take treats gently. He is a large boy so can be strong on the leash but not unable to walk and comes back from his interests easily. BamBam does not pay attention to toys. Bam is a sweet boy. He is more reserved than his sister. He will gently jump up on you for pets and a hug. He does not “jump” constantly like some dogs out of excitement. He likes attention but also likes to roam and explore. He does not like to be outside without his sister, Pebbles. He will scratch at the door until he is back inside shelter . They are housed separately inside shelter and he is fine inside without her. Bam is a sweet boy. He will make someone a fantastic companion. Bam is the “big brother” deluxe. He is a sweet, pretty neutral guy. Although he isn’t as outgoing as his sister, he begs for attention and love. Finding his forever person would make a world of difference for this big guy.

Story
MARR covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wisconsin. Ruth is being fostered in IN currently. However, transportation is available for adoptions within our coverage area. Ideally, prospective adopters would meet Rue a couple of times prior to a home transition. If you have never met a dog who was not only one of the SMARTEST creatures alive, but also the cuddliest… look no further. Rue (AKA Ruth) is that, and more. Rue’s showcase of cues and tricks is extensive, and she loves to perform for her family- her most recent trick, “play dead” brings laughter every time. Rue’s nose knows no bounds- she loves to explore quiet, open spaces on her long line, letting her sense of smell lead the way. She excels at scent games, including “find it” and food puzzles. She could easily be taught basic recreational tracking or even something like shed hunting, or she can just “find Mom” in the house for fun! She is an enthusiastic learner, and is always game for training. She’s equally game for snuggling, couch potatoing, naps and movie nights. She has a great “off” switch! She’s wonderful for grooming by her humans, and she fully believes that she is a lap dog. Rue has perfect house manners, including staying in her “place” when food it being prepared in the kitchen, but she will happy munch on a carrot or two if one is offered. She is crate trained and does well in a crate if needed, but can be trusted out in the house alone as well. She has a medium energy level, and her physical and mental needs are easily met with some play and a little training or mental enrichment each day. She has no resource guarding behaviors at all with known humans or dogs, but is fed separately in her current environment as that is how all the dogs are fed there. Rue does struggle with stranger danger, and also struggles with some dog reactivity in situations where she does not know the other dog. However, with gradual introductions to confident people, she can learn to trust them and will then become their favorite snuggle buddy. She tends to be immediately at ease with most women, slower with men. She does tend to sense when people are nervous around her, and may react negatively, so introductions to new people should be done on an as-needed basis only to minimize any extra stress to her (i.e. family, frequent visitors, dog sitters). Rue has successfully made several dog friends during training (with gradual intros) and she could live with a dog friend if that dog friend has the right temperament (laid back, non-assertive) and is introduced correctly. A confident, calm dog friend would actually be beneficial for Rue. Rue walks fairly well on a leash, but if she is to be walked as a main form of exercise, care must be taken to ensure she has the space she needs from strangers and strange dogs while doing so. You do need to be physically able to handle a large dog who may react to triggers. Ideally, her new home would have a yard with a privacy fence that she can enjoy, or be in a quiet/rural area. This special girl has been in our foster system for a long time, and although her current foster is very dedicated to her and her success and training, we want nothing more than to see this girl in a home of her own. She deserves that!! One look into her soulful, gorgeous eyes, and we know you’ll be hooked. **Rue's adoption fee is SPONSORED!!** **MARR will facilitate limited continued training with Rue's adopter to ensure a smooth transition!!**

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills. These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation. If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) 'Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?' for additional information. Titan is a big, cuddly teddy bear who loves food, bones, and toys. He loves his people and giving lots of hugs and kisses. He gets along very well with other dogs and really loves his foster siblings. He is kennel-trained and likes to learn, especially if treats are involved. He loves backyard zoomies and during winter, jumping in the snow. He is still in puppy mode and loves to play and chew. He is a smart, active boy that thrives when his mind and body are occupied. As with all puppies and teens, he would do best with a family that can provide lots of quality time, walks, good supervision and guidance, and plenty of chew toys! Titan is a big sweetheart that will steal your heart.Like any of our dogs, this young boy would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that his breed needs.  Because of that, Titan's ideal owner will have prior Rottweiler or other similar breed experience.  Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember  that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.   Titan's adoption fee is $350, all of which goes back into offsetting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs.  We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please review the information in the 'About Us', 'Important Considerations' and 'Adopt' sections on our website menu, as it contains useful information about the breed, adoption fees, the adoption process and our requirements, and how meeting the dogs works.January 14, 2025, 2:15 pm
