Story
Hi! My name is Miley. I’m a very sweet, one year old girl. Not much is known about my previous history besides being from Kentucky. I am doing great with my foster family; they have young kids, a female dog and a male cat. I love belly rubs and being near my people. I love to lay my head in your lap and snuggle on the couch. I am eager to please, especially for cheese! I’m learning basic commands and fully crate trained at night. I’m still learning to walk on a leash without pulling but I am fully potty trained!  Are you my forever home?

Story
Meet Leo! Looking for a big-hearted, big-pawed best friend? Leo is your guy! At 4-5 years old and a solid 105 pounds of pure love, this handsome hunk is ready to steal your heart (and probably your spot on the couch!). Leo is full of kisses and adores being around his people. He’s a smart boy who listens well, is completely house-trained, and doesn’t even need a crate. He’s happiest going for car rides, soaking up adventures, or simply lounging by your side. Because of his size and his enthusiasm for life, Leo would do best in a home without other pets and with older kids who can handle his playful energy. Cats? Leo says “no thank you!” If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, lovable, goofy best friend who will shower you with affection every single day—Leo is the one! Apply today to meet this gentle giant and make him part of your family!

Story
Meet Frank! Frank is a 4-month-old hound mix with the sweetest puppy eyes and the floppiest ears you’ve ever seen! This handsome little guy is full of curiosity, cuddles, and that classic hound charm. Frank loves exploring the world with his nose to the ground — every leaf, stick, and squeaky toy is an exciting new adventure! When he’s not busy investigating, he’s happiest snuggled up next to his favorite humans, soaking up all the love (and maybe sneaking in a few puppy kisses). He’s playful, affectionate, and learning all about being the best boy. With a little guidance and a lot of love, Frank is sure to grow into a loyal, devoted companion who will follow you anywhere — especially if treats are involved! If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, loving pup to complete your family, Frank is ready to wiggle his way right into your heart.

Story
Bonnie is a 1.5 year old hound mix. She is a very sweet girl who absolutely adores people and cuddling and was dog tested before arrival with female dogs and did well. Since arriving to Heartland she has been very fearful of her foster's large male dog. We will continue introducing her to more dogs to see how she does with everyone. Bonnie does very well with potty training and does great on a leash. This sweet girl has had a rough start and is ready for somewhere to learn and grow.   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.

Pinky is a 2 year old pug that came from a breeder. She is working on house training still since she probably never lived in a home. She is very playful, gets along with everyone. She loves people and wants to be the center of attention!  Her foster calls her Miss Congeniality. She's only a couch potato when you're holding her and she wants to be on your lap 24/7.  She loves to be held like a baby and loves belly rubs. This girl is ready to live the spoiled life.
