Dakota's Story...

Meet Dakota.  She is Geo's sister.  Dakota is only 4 yrs old and is a Beagle mix.  Dakota is super smart and knows all kinds of neat tricks.  She will stand and turn, high five and even knows how to pray. Right now she prays for a forever home with her sister, Geo. The home they knew their whole lives left them at a vet's office, turning their worlds upside down.  We are trying to home them together as that's all they have left. They both get along with other fur kids and are available through Hearts And Hounds Rescue.

About Our Rescue Group...
I have loved animals since I was a child, and am especially fond of hounds. I have five rescue dogs of my own - all hounds, and three cats - all found as strays and were unable to find their owners. I am heartbroken daily as I see the number of beautiful hounds dumped at high-kill shelters, especially in the south. Many have been used for hunting and have had virtually NO vetting. Hounds make wonderful family pets and I want to save as many as we can. As Hearts and Hounds Rescue grows we will be taking other breeds, including cats.

In addition to saving dogs and cats from kill shelters and finding them homes, our long-term goals include increasing community involvement. We will be starting childrens' groups - Hearts and Hounds KIDS and Hearts and Hounds TEENS.

Our Adoption Process...
Adoption fee for most dogs is $150 (dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, and will be microchipped). Adopters will be be required to sign an adoption contract, including a return to rescue policy should they not be able to keep the animal. We will check references, including the adopter's vet, and do a home check. We currently don't have fosters to handle cats, but when we do the adoption policies for cats will be basically the same as for dogs. Adoption fee for cats will be $100-150.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
NW Indiana and into IL - as a new rescue, we are limiting adoptions to within 50 miles of area code 46375, but will expand our area as we build our volunteer force.
