Story
Emmer is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute videos! Sweet, wide-eyed Emmer was surrendered to Chicago Animal Care and Control after her owner lost their housing. Emmer was at CACC for over a month, and seemed so heartbreakingly sad. We decided to take her in to our rescue, and we are so glad that we did! Emmer was known to be a shy and reserved dog, a wallflower, and indeed she was...for the first two hours! Shortly after her arrival to us Emmer must have realized she was safe and almost home free, because her entire demeanor changed... She is just a normal pup who wants to party! Emmer loves her dog pals, and loves swimming and splashing in water, as you can see in her videos! She loves playgroup, and is a star. Emmer really turned her frown upside down so quickly, and now she will not stop smiling and showing us all that Fruit Roll Up tongue of hers! We love when dogs finally feel safe and happy enough to show us their sparkle. Never stop shining, Emmer! Emmer's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Barney is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Scroll through his pictures to see his cute video content! Barney is the cutest happy-go-lucky pup that recently arrived from Tennessee! At just 2.5 months old, the world is still a brand new place to him, but he takes it all in stride with widest smile on his face and a wagging tale! He loves rough housing with his sister, working on enrichment puzzles to get treats, and he has even mastered 'sit.' Barney loves other dogs! He dissolves into full body wiggles when he meets another dog and loves to lick their mouths in a show of devotion! It is so cute. Barney is going to be a wonderful addition to any home, so we hope you'll come and meet this fun loving pup soon! Barney's adoption fee is $450. This animal is neutered, and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age. They will need a rabies vaccine at 4 months of age and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet. Since he is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.

Story
Greta is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute videos! Beautiful and smiley Greta originally came to us last December along with her sister, Gale, all the way from Puerto Rico. These girls are known as "Satos," which is the Puerto Rican term for the estimated 650,000 street dogs on the island. Rescues based down there take them off the streets and get them medically vetted and ready to fly to cities like Chicago, where rescues like ours take them in to be adopted. Greta was adopted a week before Christmas and sadly returned to us not long ago due to no fault of her own. Her adopters decided to get a third dog recently and they felt Greta was not fitting in any longer, since the other two liked to play rougher. If you watch her videos, you can see Greta likes to play plenty! It's a mystery why anyone would give her up. But, we know one thing for sure: Greta's future is brighter than her past, and we are glad to have her back with us so we can ensure she is adopted into a home that values her as they should. Because Greta was in an adoptive home with a dog and a cat, we know that she is able to live with both, but could also thrive as the only pet and the apple of her person's eye! Greta's adopters said that she is "perfect" in the crate, and that she is great with kids. While she did not live with any kids, she was around young relatives and "soaked up all the love." Her adopters write, "Greta is an absolute sweetheart of a dog. She makes the perfect couch potato OR adventure buddy. No matter the occasion she thinks that you lack kisses, so expect to always catch a lick if you're within distance!" We hope you will come and fall in love with our little island girl this week, and give her the happily ever after that she deserves! Greta's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Tom is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Little Tom recently arrived from a partner shelter in Puerto Rico! This cute brindle boy is so tiny and absolutely melted our hearts when he arrived! Tom is ready to find the perfect home to relax in and help him blossom! At just shy of three-months-old Tom is a classic pup that loves to play and run around with his siblings, but also is so happy to cuddle into someone's lap. Tom spent the week in a foster home and here is what they had to share about him! "He is very sweet! He loves to run around with the boys in the yard. He’s getting the hang of potty training and is quiet all night in his kennel next to his family (in a sweater with blankets). He enjoys being held and is the floppiest baby. He’s great in the car. Him and my other dog are great together!" He has a lot to learn as he continues to adjust to life here, but we know he is going to grow up into a terrific dog! Don't miss your chance to meet Tom since he is sure to capture someone's heart quickly! Tom's adoption fee is $450. This animal is neutered, and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age. They will need a rabies vaccine at 4 months of age and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet. Since he is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.

Story
Aubreen is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her photos to see her cute video content! Aubreen is a smart, beautiful 2 year old mixed breed who we met at Chicago Animal Care and Control. She was so engaging, fun, and affectionate, so we had to make her a Heartland dog! As you can see from her videos, Aubreen loves puzzles and toys, the outdoors, and snuggling (not necessarily in that order). She has the most endearing, goofy personality and the best smile, not to mention those epic ears! When Aubreen first met a dog here, she seemed so confused, and scared - like she'd never met another dog before. We think she had not been socialized much - but she is so happy to have the chance to make friends now! She is doing great in playgroup, and has made several new friends, including Virgil - her very bestie. We are loving seeing her learn how to play and experience the joys of just "being a dog!" We think Aubreen would be a great fit for an active family who loves training and enrichment activities. She is such a smart girl and absolutely adores learning, and when she's done with her puzzles and nose work, she would love nothing more than to snuggle up next to you on the couch. Aubreen is so smart and well-behaved too. She was definitely someone's pet and we hope she will be again very soon. She deserves to be adored. Aubreen's adoption fee is $300.00. This animal is spayed/neutered and up to date on core vaccines. Aubreen is Heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment with us. Heartland will cover the cost of treatment until she is Heartworm negative. Heartworm is not contagious to other dogs or people; it is a mosquito-borne disease. It is both preventable and curable! Once cured, there are no long term health effects associated with having Heartworm. Aubreen is on a 28 day course of antibiotics, after which she will receive three injections to treat his Heartworm, all to take place at our shelter with our veterinarian. Hw injection 1: 3/4/26 Hw injection 2 and 3: 4/7 and 4/8/26 That will complete the treatment, but she will need a quick retest at the adopter's vet 9 months post-treatment to make sure that she is Heartworm-free.

Story
Vincent is living in a foster home! Please submit an application from our website and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you're a match! Cute, little Vincent was found with his yorkie pal (Sara Connor) roaming the streets of Chicago. They were brought to CACC and we just couldn't resist their precious faces so we made them Heartland dogs! Vincent has been living in a foster home the last few weeks and he is now ready to transition to his permanent family! He is currently living with two cat siblings and does great with them! It is funny because the cats are quite a bit bigger than this 8.5 lb little man. Vincent isn't very interested in toys, but he LOVES blankets. He will burrow in them, throw them around, roll around in them, blankets are his jam and it is so cute to watch him play in them! He also loves to be held, carried, worn in a sling...as long as he is with you, he is perfectly content! Here is what his foster mom had to share about him. "Meet Vincent, a charming 6-year-old Yorkshire Terrier with a heart of gold! This sweet boy is the ultimate lap companion, always ready to snuggle up and share his affection. Vincent loves to follow you around, making sure he's never far from your side, yet he's patient enough to wait when you need to focus on tasks. In just a short time, he's already mastered the command to sit and is making great strides in leash training. His eagerness to please makes him very trainable, and he's excited to learn even more. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion, Vincent is your perfect match! Come meet him and see how he can brighten your days!" Vincent’s adoption fee is $375. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
