Story
Capone, or as his foster call him "Capo", loves to love! This land-seal happily greets everyone he meets and does the best full-body wiggles. He has been doing amazing in his foster home and treats them to his world class snores and zoomies. He is content in his crate when his fosters are busy but loves to follow them around the house or crash on the couch with them when they watch tv. Capo wants nothing more than to be with his people. Ask to meet Capo and we are sure you'll be fast friends, maybe even friends for life!

Story
Hear what Honey's fosters have to say about her! Meet Honey, a sweet, loyal girl who’s ready to form a deep, loving bond with her future forever family. Honey thrives on being close to her people—she follows us around the house and loves being part of the action. While she does experience some separation anxiety, she’s happiest when surrounded by her humans, so a home where someone works from home might be ideal for her. Honey can be a little shy when meeting new people, but after a few minutes, she warms up and quickly becomes their new best friend. She’s done wonderfully with family friends who’ve watched her, showing off her loving and easygoing nature. Food-motivated and quick to learn, Honey loves to show off her tricks and is always up for a cuddle. Her perfect day includes sunbathing on the couch in the morning, a relaxing walk in the afternoon, and plenty of playtime and snuggles at night. This happy girl’s tail is almost always wagging, and her classic “pitty smile” will melt your heart. Honey loves being the center of attention, soaking up all the love and affection she can get. Although on walks she’s reactive toward other dogs, she’s perfectly content with humans and doesn’t react to other small animals. Honey would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can be the sole focus of her family's love and attention. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, and playful companion, Honey might be your perfect match!

Story
Hear what Bailey's foster has to say about her! "Bailey is the sweetest low/mid-energy girl who must forget that she’s over 60lbs because she thinks she’s a lap dog! She’s a great companion for someone looking for a chill, loving, cuddly dog. She’s totally potty-trained and can go hours on her own without an accident. She lets you know when she needs to go out and will get more pushy the longer you wait! She’s crate-trained as well, but definitely prefers to keep your bed or couch warm while you’re away. She walks great on a leash but can get a little distracted by squirrels and rabbits. She knows sit, shake, and is working on lay down." Updated 12/22/24: "Bailey is a people lover who hasn’t met a stranger yet. Her interests include looking for bunnies & squirrels, sleeping on your pillows, taking up the whole bed, getting pets/attention, and lots of snuggles. Her dislikes include other dogs who bark at her when she’s on her leash, walking in the rain, and when you stop petting her (to which she will paw at your hands, face, etc., watch out😂)! Baileys personality is too cute, she’s an independent girl who can handle being on her own for hours at a time but also LOVES to be right on top of you any chance she gets. She has bursts of energy and is able to run short distances, but I would say she’s mostly a chill dog who spends most of her time relaxing on the couch or bed. When she’s excited she will bring you a toy or one of your extra shoes if it’s laying around, but she hasn’t chewed any shoes or anything else since being with me. She is a generally quiet dog, who doesn’t bark much throughout the day unless she hears something outside that needs to be investigated. She did well around a 3 year old girl while with me, having boundaries and not being too pushy. Her little white freckles on her face make it impossible not to love her!"

Harvest

Boxer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr 2 mos
Wheeling, IL
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Harvest is a young, energetic pup who is looking for someone to explore life with! She came to us from our shelter partner in rural Nebraska, where they have almost 200 dogs. The folks at her old shelter thought she would get noticed better with us, so we brought her here and made her a Heartland dog. It doesn't seem like anyone has taken the time to teach her anything, but Harvest is motivated and loves to learn. She's learning her basic commands quickly. Anything for a good treat. She also loves her toys and running around the yard! Harvest has canine friends but she does have a strong personality and may not be every dogs "cup of tea." Bigger dogs are probably best with her. Harvest is in boarding as we still do not have our physical shelter, and is looking for a foster home!

Story
Thora is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and/or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Thora is our beautiful 1 year old boxer mix who comes from Nebraska. She was living in their shelter, where they have almost 200 dogs, and she was overlooked there for no good reason. She came to Heartland and has been doing well in a foster home. They absolutely adore her! She loves playing with soft and squeaky toys and enjoys gnawing on beef hide bones and bully sticks. Generally, she knows the difference between toys and other objects, though she occasionally will grab a hat or glove and needs a reminder! She didn't have much experience walking on a leash before coming to us, but she is learning to heel and has the strength/ability to go on long walks. She's very curious, loves sniffing everything, and is obsessed with squirrels. Although Thora doesn't live with dogs in her foster home, she has previously lived with other dogs and has met a few dogs in our care. She is VERY excited when she meets them and may need slower introductions, so she doesn't overwhelm them. Once she gets to know the dog, she relaxes and becomes calmer around them. Here is what Thora's fosters have to say about her, "Thora is the ultimate companion who aims to please! Excitable at first, she quickly calms down and is the absolute sweetest. She loves long walks, playing with toys, and curling up on the carpet - as long as she gets to hang with her people. Comfortable in a crate, though she is thrilled to sleep on the bed and is virtually silent all night long. But when you open your eyes in the morning, get ready to be showered with wet kisses! Thora comes when called, sits beautifully, is super smart, and has the gentlest way of accepting treats. She is full of love and energy and can't wait to meet her forever family!" Thora's adoption fee is $250. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
