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.

Willie Nelson

Doberman Pinscher

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet our sweet older guy-Willie Nelson! He came to us from another shelter. He is such an affectionate boy. Loves all people! He would love nothing more to find a home where he can lay around all day and be around his people. He loves pets, loves attention. He will always great you with his a smiling face and wagging tail nubbin'! We don’t know for sure what his breed makeup is, but believe he is a Doberman mix. We believe he is about 8.5 years old. He’s about 65 pounds. We discovered Willie Nelson does have a condition called pancreatitis. He will need to stay on a prescription low fat diet for the rest of his life, and it’s important to monitor what treats he gets to prevent flare ups. Currently his pancreatitis is well managed. He does seem to have some general anxiety-we don't know what he would be like outside of a shelter scenario. We hope that his anxiety would relax, which is why we would LOVE to find him a foster home so we can see how he does in a loving and caring environment. He is currently on some anxiety medications to help keep him less stressed in our kennel environment. He has met dogs of other sizes and there has been no problems, but proper introductions with other dogs in the homes is required. He has not yet been cat tested. Willie Nelson is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm and tick disease tested and negative for all. He has also had senior bloodwork tests performed with no significant concerns other than pancreatitis. An approved adoption application is required. The $200 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; senior bloodwork testing, 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.March 6, 2026, 11:57 pm

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 . 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

EB has truly earned his retirement. This gentle, loyal boy has spent his life serving others, including working as a medical alert dog who warned his most recent owner when a seizure was about to happen. He was a devoted companion and protector, always looking out for the person who needed him most. Sadly, when his owner passed, EB lost the home he had known. Kind neighbors stepped in and reached out to Best Pals and we welcomed him with open arms. EB recently visited our veterinarian where we learned he has a bum leg from an old injury. It gives him a little limp, but it doesn't slow him down much. EB is perfectly content with the simple things in life like a leisurely walk, a good meal and a soft place to lay his head. EB has given so much love and loyalty throughout his life. Now he's hoping to find a quiet, caring home where he can finally relax, be cherished, and enjoy the retirement he deserves. Could that home be yours?

Story

Blue is a 13 year old brindle pit mix with one of the sweetest souls you’ll ever meet. He came to Best Pals after his family fell into homelessness and was unable to keep him in the hotel where they were staying. With love and heartbreak, his mom surrendered him so her children would have a safe place to sleep. Despite everything, Blue acts like a dog half his age. He loves car rides, long walks, tug of war and a good bone to chew on. He’s also a champion cuddle buddy and happiest when he’s relaxing near his person. Blue lived peacefully with children and doesn’t seem to mind cats. He would do best as the only dog in a calm, loving home. Blue received full vaccines and a senior blood panel upon arrival, which revealed he has Lyme disease. He is currently on a 30 day treatment and responding well. He’ll just need someone willing to keep up with his routine care as he continues to feel better. Blue is gentle, loyal and endlessly loving. He deserves a soft landing and a home where he can enjoy his golden years in comfort and safety. If you’re looking for a grateful, affectionate companion, Blue is ready to meet you.

Story

Welcome to the Rescue, Apollo! Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Apollo, a 10½-year-old Lab/Golden mix (as we were told—we have not confirmed with a DNA test) who is as sweet as pie and just as handsome as can be. It’s very clear that Apollo was deeply loved and beautifully cared for by his owner. This was not an easy decision. Due to serious medical concerns, his owner is no longer able to care for him and will be transitioning into assisted living, with more surgeries and recovery ahead. During an incredibly difficult time, Apollo showed the kind of loyalty we all hope for—he stayed faithfully by his owner’s side for three days while they were unable to move or call for help. X-rays have shown that Apollo does have some arthritis in his spine and knees. He is on a long-term pain and anti-inflammatory medication as well as some joint supplements to keep him comfortable. He seems to get around well and gets so excited for his treats! He had comprehensive bloodwork done and the doctors did not have concerns with it. We just cleaned his teeth the first week of March so he has some pearly whites to go to his new home with! We’re told Apollo does well with children (though we have not yet tested this ourselves). He would likely do best in a home without cats, as he enjoys chasing them. Dog testing is still to come, but from what we’ve seen so far, he should be able to live with another respectful dog. We would love to find a foster or a foster-to-adopt home for this gentle boy. In the meantime, please help us shower Apollo with the warm welcome he deserves as he begins this new chapter. Our goal is simple: to make the rest of his life as comfortable, safe, and full of love as possible. If you can help by fostering—or would like to learn more—please reach out. An approved adoption application is required. The $200 adoption fee (payable by cash or check only) includes spay/neuter; senior bloodwork testing, 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 .
