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.

Ditalini 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! Ditalini recently arrived with her family from CACC! Sadly, they were surrendered there after their owner passed away. Ditalini is the observer in her family. She takes everything in and hangs back a little, it makes sense since she is now in a shelter after living her whole life in a home. However, once Ditalini has taken everything in she loves to follow you around and soak up any attention you are willing to give her! Who can resist this cutie?! We know she is sure to be adopted fast, so don't miss your chance to meet her! Ditalini's adoption fee is $375. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Llana 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 videos! Beautiful Llana was brought to Chicago Animal Care and Control when she was found living outside on her own. She had clearly not been well cared for. She had heartworm, demodex mange, and other signs that she had not had an easy life so far. Despite a hard life, everything about Llana is soft. She looks at the staff and volunteers with the most caring eyes, she greets visitors to her kennel with a happy wiggle, and she has absolutely delicious wrinkles on her sweet face. Llana lived in a foster home after arriving at Heartland so she could decompress, and we were able to learn that she got along with the resident dog and is housebroken, low-key, quiet, and easy in a home. Llana is now at our shelter, and we are learning more about her! Llana prefers to hang out with male dogs over the other girls, and is best friends with Waddles! It's funny to watch her paw him to try to get him to play. Her true love, though, is for time spent with people. She truly is a "people" dog, and prefers to be close to those she loves. She loves to jump up on the bench and cuddle closely. She will even lay on her back and allow you to trim her nails - something that is really tough for some dogs. She is truly amazing! If you’re someone who believes that the most beautiful souls are often the ones who’ve been through the most, Llana might be the girl you’ve been waiting for. Llana's adoption fee is $300.00 This animal is spayed and up to date on core vaccines. Llana is Heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment with us. Heartland will cover the cost of treatment until he 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. Llana is on a 28 day course of antibiotics, after which she will receive three injections to treat her Heartworm, all to take place at our shelter with our veterinarian. Dates for injections are 01/06/26, 02/10/26, and 02/11/26. 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
Sherry Baby has bene living in a foster home but will be onsite at our shelter starting 1/8. 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 videos! Sherry Baby is the happiest, smiliest girl! She's what we call "shmedium", not quite small, but about as small as medium gets! She may have been out on the streets of Chicago before ending up at Chicago Animal Care and Control, but we knew she was destined for the sweet life, so we brought her to Heartland! Sherry has been spending the holiday season with a wonderful foster family, who really wanted to adopt her. Unfortunately, they've discovered one of their children is allergic, so while they are unable to keep her permanently, they expressed so much love for her, and want to help her find her perfect home. They provided some adorable photos of Sherry at home, and told us this about her: "Sherry is a sweetheart who will flop onto her back for belly rubs and snuggle up next to you. She has a lot of energy and loves long walks and chasing a ball in the yard. She got along well with her foster family’s two young children (ages 3 and 6), including not being bothered by loud/sudden noises and accepting treats from them gently. Sherry has a lot of love to give!" Sherry had just a couple of pee accidents in the house before quickly getting the hang of going potty outside in the yard or on leash. She quickly mastered "Sit," is working on "Down" but the sky is the limit for this super smart and treat motivated girl! If you're looking for a petite, outgoing young pup who can fit in with just about any family, can you come out during open hours and meet her? Red dress not required! Sherry Baby's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Stelline 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! Tiny Stelline recently arrived with her family from CACC! Sadly, they were surrendered there after their owner passed away. Stelline is understandably confused on why she is now in a shelter and not in a home, but that doesn't stop her amazing personality from shining through! She is all love, kisses and snuggles. She loves being around her family, but is also happy to get lots of human attention! Stelline is the first to crawl in your lap, or horn her way in between you and one of her sisters if you happen to be paying them more attention! We are so in love with all of these pups, and we hope you will come see why. We hope Stelline finds her new home quickly and they will see just how special she is! Stelline’s adoption fee is $375. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
