Story
Meet Buster! Teddy and Buster came together from the same home. They were surrendered by their family to another shelter that was getting over-crowded. They are currently separate and doing well, so they do not need to be adopted together. But they are familiar with each other and do well with each other so we would also adopt them together. Buster is about 3 years old. Our best guess for breed is a lab mix. He does have a beautiful curly red and gold coat. Buster is a friendly boy, very eager to please. He would benefit from obedience training and a family dedicated to providing him activity. We are still working on introducing them to other dogs. We have not yet cat tested them. An approved adoption application is required. The $250 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; dental teeth cleaning (if needed prior to adoption); vaccinations; heartworm and tick disease testing; fecal w/ giardia testing, monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention . Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption. Please note: while we welcome out of state applications, we do not ship our animals and require adopters to come to Holland to finalize any adoption.August 23, 2026, 11:00 pm

Story
Sissy was returned to us after one of her adopters passed unexpectedly. She has been with us for a long time-4 years! She has resource guarding around other dogs, and she prefers to be only pet. It takes a while for her to warm up to humans too. She would love to find a home where her family gives her the space she needs. She is great off leash in a big yard and loves a cozy bed and chew toy.

Story
Meet Bill.  Bill (white) and his brother Quill (red/white) came to us after they got into a tussle with a porcupine. They had many quills that had to be removed. They had surgery to remove the quills are are since doing well! Bill LOVES people!  He wants nothing more than to be with people and get attention all day long. He does great with children too. We were told he lived in a home previously with other dogs, but we would need to do proper introductions with other dogs in the home.  Quill and his brother Bill we estimate to be about 1-2 years old. Based on appearance and age we believe they are brothers, but they do not need to be adopted together and would do well in separate homes or together. They do have a lot of energy and would do best in homes with active lifestyles. We have not cat tested them but they do seem to have a prey drive. We do not know their breed makeup but suspect some type of hound.  They are neutered, microchipped, heartworm and tick disease tested and negative for all, and fecal tested and negative for parasites. An approved adoption application is required. The $275 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; dental teeth cleaning (if needed prior to adoption); vaccinations; heartworm and tick disease testing; fecal w/ giardia testing, monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention .

Story
Meet Cooper; She is very sweet girl, who is looking for her fur-ever home. We believe she is around 3-4 years old and is a cattle dog mix. She came to us when her owner passed away and the other owner couldn’t care for her. Due to her breed or mix of breeds we are looking for a very specific home for her where she will be set up best for success! Cooper is pretty reactive towards people on leash and will nip at shins or ankles. She enjoys lots of exercise, biking right now seems to be her favorite. She’d probably do best as an only dog, as loves all the attention on her! She has had some interaction with other dogs on leash and she will correct them if their energy becomes to much for her.   Cooper also needs a kid free home.   We are requiring that her fur-ever home have heeler experience and be committed to getting her the training that she needs. Cooper will also need someone who is willing to do some training with her. **Cooper being a heeler mix does have high herding tendencies, and has a single “bite history” as she nipped someone in the calf.     An approved adoption application is required. The $200 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; microchip; dental teeth cleaning (if needed prior to adoption); vaccinations; and heartworm testing. Our adoption application may be found by going to: www.headinhomerescue.org; then click on the link to the adoption application. Dogs for adoption may be seen by appointment only following an approved application. Proof of completion of an obedience class is required for all dogs following adoption.

Story
Bandit is a 12-year-old, 15 pound Dachshund/Poodle mix who has been through more heartbreak than any dog should have to endure. Within a short period of time, both the woman who loved him and her daughter passed away. Bandit was then cared for by another relative who, sadly, was no longer able to keep up with his needs. By the time he came to Tysons Place, he was covered in fleas, suffering from a painful skin infection, and so severely matted that his fur had formed dreadlocks. We are incredibly grateful that other members of Bandits family recognized that he needed help and reached out to us. Since arriving at Tysons Place, Bandit has gotten the care he desperately needed. He has completed treatment for his skin and ear infections, his painful mats have been shaved away, and he is already feeling so much better. Bandit does have arthritis in his hips and will need lifelong daily pain medication to keep him comfortable. Otherwise, he is a healthy senior boy—and once his beautiful coat grows back, he is going to be one extra-gorgeous dog! But Bandits real beauty is in his personality. He walks well on a leash, has lived with both dogs and cats, and absolutely loves people. His favorite place is in your lap, where he will happily give you a hug. He is housebroken, although as an older gentleman, he appreciates having several potty breaks throughout the day. Because he loves his people and enjoys being close to them, a home where someone is retired, works from home, or is otherwise home often would be ideal. See him in action here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1356268316140620 After everything Bandit has lost, we want his next chapter to be filled with comfort, love, and someone who will never let him feel forgotten again. Could you be Bandit's forever person? Email tysonsplacerescue@gmail.com or fill out an adoption application here: https://tysonsplacerescue.org/cat-and-dog-adoptions/#adopt
