Story
Meet our sweet Abril!    Abril is wonderful companion for any owner who is looking to add a single dog to their home. Abril seeks out pets, play time and love. She's a great leaner while you shower her with pets and lovins. Abril will impress you with her devotion and love. Our sweet Abril does require a home where she is the only dog, and definitely no cats. Despite how sweet she is, she is not a fan of other furry siblings. A secured fence is best as well.  Abril will ask that you help her with her fear of loud noises and fireworks, and in exchange she'll shower you with love and devotion.  You won't be disappointed when you fill out your application for this wonderful girl. Can you help heal her broken heart? Abril is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative and microchipped.  If you are interested in Abril, please email dogs@heartlandsmallanimalrescue.org or you can access an online application at www.heartlandsmallanimalrescue.org/canine-application.html ##55138##

Story
Molly is an approximately 5 year old beagle mix who currently weighs about 40 pounds. Her ideal weigh is about 25 to 30 so she is in need of a weight loss plan. Molly is working on her potty training and will tolerate crating but is very rarely if ever crated. She mostly ignores cats and is dog selective. Molly came to us with her 7 couple day old puppies from rural Kentucky. She is considered semi feral by her foster mom but can be handled and is non aggressive.  If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.

Story
Zeus is 10-11 years old and weighs about 125 pounds. This guy is definitely not for everyone: as a Bullmastiff he is naturally suspicious of anyone and anything that might be a threat to his special person or his territory; he has some triggers from his past life that can cause him to misinterpret innocent motions as threatening, so care must always be taken when handling him; he is well past the normal lifespan of his breed and has the intervetrebral disk disease and spinal arthritis to show for it; and he requires a twice daily thyroid pill. However, his aches and pains are readily managed with standard medications, he adores his somewhat ponderous walk each morning, and treats and meals still give him a thrill. For obvious reasons, this big guy should not live with children or in an apartment, but a single person who is experienced with oversized, somewhat cranky dogs could be considered as an adopter. Zeus should have at least a modest-sized fenced yard to snuffle around in and, If he lives with any other animals, he must have his own separate space.   If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.
