Story
Sabrina is an amazing dog who just needs someone willing to work with her. She is amazing with children (just needs work on being too excited around small children She absolutely loves sniff walks and fetch to wear her out and work her brain. She will need a more involved owner who understands her needs. She’s got some unique quirks that make her even more special! She needs a very slow introduction to other dogs but has been able to play with and be around some other non dominant dogs. She does have Addison disease which is kept in control with a monthly injection. She would benefit from a forever home with someone who can keep up with that and give her a calm loving environment to spend her golden years. Her adoption fee is sponsored https://www.pupandcatco.com/

Story
Baxter will be one year old January 27,2026. I acquired Baxter from a friend whose niece brought him home without her mother’s permission.. A couple in an apartment had to get rid of him because pets were not allowed. I said that I will take him because I had recently lost my dog Bailey after 13.5 years. Baxter is extremely active and needs to be in a home that’s fenced in. He is super active and must be able to run and play most of the day. I work remotely as a bookkeeper and can’t entertain him most of the day. My home is not fenced in. He will be great with children and other dogs to keep him entertained. He’s pad trained for number two only. He has all his shots and he has been neutered. He is a good playful puppy that needs active people in his life.

Story
Meet Noelle — a beautiful 18-month-old, 35-lb Border Collie mix who decided to make her grand entrance into rescue life on Christmas Eve . Saved by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan, Noelle arrived seriously underweight and with an old harness that had clearly overstayed its welcome (embedded harnesses are not a fashion trend we recommend). While she once had a home, no one came looking for this sweet girl — but their loss is about to be someone else’s very big win. Noelle has big, soulful brown eyes and the cutest underbite you’ve ever seen. Braces won’t be necessary (lol) — she eats just fine and is happily rediscovering her curves one meal at a time. True to her Border Collie roots, Noelle gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats and enjoys herding the bigger animals whenever possible. (Someone has to keep order, after all.) She’s currently polishing up her potty training and table manners, both of which will thrive with a consistent and loving family. Noelle would be an excellent fit for an active family with children and room to run. Because she’s basically powered by rocket fuel, very small children or infants may not be her best match — she has enthusiasm to spare. From morning zoomies to evening playtime, Noelle is full-throttle fun… until bedtime, when she happily transforms into a snuggly cuddle bug. If Noelle sounds perfect to you — that’s because she is. Come meet this precious young pup and prepare for your heart to melt. Puppies and Dogs are spayed or neutered, Heartworm negative, microchipped, appropriately vaccinated, and treated for parasites.

Story
Trojan is a big guy at 92 lbs., but he is so friendly and lovable. We are not sure of his mix--Border Collie? Mastiff? Lab? Shepherd?--probably a combo of everything, but that just adds to his charm. He has been vaccinated and is heartworm negative. He is 5 years old. He is good with other dogs and kids , but not cats.

Story
Everyone, meet Anny! This beautiful girl joined her Hero foster family just a day ago and is already melting hearts. She’s an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix, and about two years old. She very quickly latches on to people, and loves getting attention. Snuggling, getting her belly rubbed, or just walking beside you…it really doesn’t matter as long as she is near her people. She loves being with a family, as she moves person to person and thrives on sharing the love. She takes a minute to get used to other dogs…likely a product of being in the shelter and being a sweet, sensitive girl, but she is already adapting to our two dogs. She would thrive as an only dog in an active family, and would need a yard with a fence where she could show her speed and burn some energy. Above all, she needs a family who needs her, and will show her as much love as she will show them…hers will come back 10 fold. Anny is comfortable in her crate and sleeps through the night without a peep. She appears to be potty trained, walks well on her leash and is just a joy to be around. This girl is a true catch and will be an amazing addition to some lucky family. If Anny sounds like your kind of girl, please apply at HeroRescue.org. She would love to meet you! Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.
