Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi all! I’m a 12 week old hound/pittie mix. I was part of an unplanned litter that my foster mom saw being given away online, & she stepped in to help & get my parents fixed so this doesn’t happen again!
I’m currently 14 pounds & growing. I’m in foster care with my sister Rosita & we are your typical puppies - we love playing, toys, kids, & exploring the outdoors. I’m working hard on my housebreaking & learning fast.
Please remember that while I’m cute, I’m still a PUPPY, that means you will need to finish my housebreaking, & continue to socialize & train me so I can be the best I can be. I will likely grow to be a medium-large size dog so keep that in mind.
I have been neutered, microchipped, dewormed & given all age-appropriate vaccinations.
At my vet visit I was found to have a heart murmur- when my foster mom gets your application, she can chat with you about future care for that.
My adoption fee is $350 & I am fostered in the south suburbs of Chicago - the rescue serves that general area & Northwest Indiana. Please head to www.heathersfosterdogs.org to submit your application to meet me & it will be forwarded to my foster mom. No meets are set up until an application is on file.

In short, Heather’s Foster Dogs is looking for responsible, dedicated, and loving pet owners for our foster animals. This means a couple of things:
-You feel that pets are an important part of the family. They do not spend their days and nights living outside in the yard, chained to a doghouse or locked up in a kennel. Pets belong safe and warm in your home.
-You understand that regular veterinary visits with a licensed veterinarian are important to maintaining the health and well being of your pet. This means regular exams, administering medication when prescribed, and keeping your pet up-to-date on vaccinations.
-You believe in POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training only and will seek the help of an experienced professional trainer if necessary or recommended.
-You understand that adding a pet to your family is a commitment that should last for the ENTIRE LIFE OF THAT PET.
To adopt a dog from Heather’s Foster Dogs, you must…
-Be at least 21 years of age
-Have a valid form of identification (a driver’s license or
state ID)
-Verify that you are allowed to have a dog of the breed
and size where you currently live
-Understand that a fenced yard may be required for a
dog you are interested in
-Understand that training may be required for the dog
you are interested in
-Understand that HFD reserves the right to check
veterinarian and personal references
-Bring along all household members including any
resident dogs or children to meet the dog you hope to
adopt
TO ALL POTENTIAL ADOPTERS: Heather’s Foster Dogs is dedicated to eliminating shelter overcrowding once and for all. We understand the only way to really achieve this goal is by cutting down on the number of unwanted animals born every year. As such, HFD tirelessly promotes spay/neuter for all companion animals, and in fact requires this as part of our adoption agreement. If you currently own an animal that is intact (meaning it is NOT spayed/neutered), and there is no medical reason as to why your pet has not been spayed/neutered, HFD cannot in good faith approve you to adopt one of our foster animals.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Heather’s Foster Dogs does NOT ship animals. No matter where you live, no matter how far, you will be expected to meet with HFD in person for your adoption interview and pet pick up.
HFD reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant if we feel they are not the best fit for the animal they’ve applied to adopt.
And please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Email Heather’s Foster Dogs at heathersfosterdogsinfo@gmail.com and we will be happy to speak with you further.
