Story
Emmer is living in a foster home. Please submit an application and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match! 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.

Story
Dr. Nevis 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 videos! Like Doogie Howser, MD, our own Dr. Nevis is young, small, and ready to scrub in! And by "scrub in" we mean dive into playgroup, toss stuffies in the air, and look real cute while doing it. Dr. Nevis is named after one of our shelter vets, and they are both delightful! The canine Dr. Nevis comes to us from Alabama, where his story has a rough beginning. He was found by a kind bus driver after he had been dumped on the side of the road, and was just skin and bones. The good samaritan got him help, and Dr. Nevis made his way into the best foster home down there where he flourished among his foster family's other dogs. At around 10 months old, Dr. Nevis is the perfect little size and has the best personality. We are all obsessed with him! He’s playful, smart, affectionate, anis just the cutest boy who always makes us smile. He gets along with every dog he has met...even some of our dogs who are more selective about their dog friends love Dr. Nevis! He knows how to sit on command, and is a very polite and dainty leash walker. Dr. Nevis has just the right amount of puppy playfulness without being over-the-top. He doesn’t need much — just a person or a family willing to give him the love he’s always deserved. We hope you will come and meet this special boy this week! Dr. Nevis’s adoption fee is $375. He is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Ranch is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Ranch came to us with his momma, Ensalada, and his 7 siblings from Texas in mid- April at just 3 weeks old. Ensalada and her pups arrived in rough shape, they were flea infested and anemic. Thankfully, they recovered in no time and are now healthy and ready to find their forever homes! Ranch is one happy pup that is just here to have a good time! Ranch is happy with whatever he is doing. Whether it is playing with his siblings, cuddling with a human, playing with a toy or puzzle, he is having a good time and soaking it all in! If you are looking for an all around VGB (very good boy) Ranch is your dude and we hope you will come and meet him today! Ranch'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.

Balsamic Vinaigrette is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Tiny Balsamic came to us with her momma, Ensalada, and her 7 siblings from Texas in mid- April at just 3 weeks old. Ensalada and her pups arrived in rough shape, they were flea infested and anemic. Balsamic was in the worst shape and required a blood transfusion to help her get healthy. She is now a healthy, active puppy that is ready to find a family to love and spoil her the way she deserves to be! While Balsamic is the smallest of her siblings, that doesn't hold her back! She is ready to romp and wrestle with everyone, but is also very attentive and loving with her human pals. She is very treat motivated and has been picking up on 'Sit'. She will often sit at our feet waiting for a yummy treat to reward her good behavior! Balsamic is eager to please, loves enrichment, and is so affectionate! She is everything someone could want in a pup, so we hope you will come and meet her soon! Balsamic's adoption fee is $450. This animal is spayed, 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 she is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.
