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.

Story

Cheddar 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! If you are the type of person who gravitates towards the shy ones, Cheddar is one of those dogs who instantly has your whole heart. When you first meet him he may seem scared, and even look at you with a furrowed brow, but as you can see from his videos the moment you get on his level and baby talk him he is the happiest and waggiest creature that will shower you with kisses. We love a dog who does not show that side to everyone right away. Cheddar comes to us from a partner shelter in rural Tennessee. Cheddar and his brother Charley (the outgoing one!) were abandoned on a rural country road, and found by some good samaritans when they were in need of love and some groceries! These boys were so happy at the shelter where meals could be relied on, and they got a lot of love and attention. Thanks to their caring staff and volunteers, these boys have blossomed into wonderful and sweet young men. Both walk very well on leash, are super polite, and love other dogs. We know Cheddar is going to make a person or family so happy! We know his person or people will look past the timid exterior and spend that extra minute drawing his silly side out. He is so loving and deserves that in return. Cheddar’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Thanks to their caring staff and volunteers, these boys have blossomed into wonderful and sweet young men. Both walk very well on leash, are super polite, and love other dogs. Charley is definitely the more outgoing one: where his brother is timid and hangs back, Charley is your instant bestie. He is happy to curl up next to you for a nap, or accompany you on an outdoor adventure! He just wants to be wherever you are! Charley is going to be such a wonderful companion and would be a great family dog. He is a great size, great age, and has a perfect temperament. We hope you will ask about him today! Charley's adoption fee is $300. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Llana

Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo

Wheeling, IL

(when grown) -

Spayed or Neutered,

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

Diamond 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! If you cannot tell from her pictures and videos, Diamond is a hoot! She comes to us from a partner shelter in Tennessee, along with her sister Dixie. Dixie and Diamond are from a litter of pups that were found outside and taken in by an individual that was not allowed to have pets in his apartment. Their rescuer had to relinquish them to the shelter last fall, and that is where these girls were until coming to us. These little beauties are some of the friendliest dogs you will find. They love people, love each other, and looove other dogs! They aren’t shy – especially not Diamond. She is front and center, ready for her spotlight! Both girls seek out pets and affection, and relish every drop. Diamond would be an amazing family dog or a dog for any loving home, really. We hope you will ask about her today! Diamond’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story

Cupid Shuffle 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! Where are our underbite fans? Boy do we have one for you! Cupid Shuffle is part of a quartet of siblings we brought up all the way from Kentucky. He's the smallest of all of them, but he manages to pack a lot of personality into his 30 pound frame. This affectionate young guy lives for connection — if you’re nearby, he wants to be with you. Whether it’s leaning in for pets, playing with canine friends, or joining you for a stroll, Cupid Shuffle is all about love. At just the right size and age, he’s the perfect blend of playful puppy energy and sweet, cuddly charm. He’s curious, eager to learn, and ready to keep growing into the best companion imaginable with a little guidance and a lot of affection. Cupid Shuffle would thrive in a home that’s excited to keep him engaged with walks, playtime, and continued positive reinforcement — and that won’t mind getting daily reminders of how loved they are. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who will happily dance his way into your heart, Cupid Shuffle is ready to take the floor. Cupid Shuffle's adoption fee is $300. This animal is neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
