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
One of our generous supporters has sponsored Willie Nelson's adoption fee. This means his new family can focus on his needs and care-no adoption fee required. 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.April 7, 2026, 12:11 am

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
Sparty is an 11 year old sweetheart with the energy of a much younger pup. He can jump like a kangaroo, loves to play, and has a joyful, affectionate personality that lights up any room. More than anything, he loves being close to his person. Sparty is a professional lap sitter, expert bed snuggler, and dedicated movie watching companion. He will happily curl up with you, look into your eyes, and remind you what unconditional love feels like. Sparty was surrendered when his previous owner moved into a senior living complex and could no longer keep him. He misses her deeply and is ready to bond just as strongly with someone new. Sparty does great with kids, cats and dogs. He would do best in a house or trailer. He thrives on companionship and would love a family that can give him the attention that he deserves. It would be best if his family worked from home or enjoys a retired lifestyle.

Story
Meet Stella, a beautiful, 9 year old, chocolate lab who has been given a second chance at the life she truly deserves. Stella has the sweetest, most gentle soul and simply wants to be close to her people. As a senior girl, Stella enjoys a slower, cozy pace of life. She would thrive in a home where someone is around often, whether that is a work from home lifestyle or a more relaxed, retired routine. Stella is as kind as they come and is wonderful with children, cats, and other dogs. She is the definition of a loyal companion who will be right by your side through life's little moments. Because of her arthritis, Stella requires a consistent care routine including joint support, supplements, and a specialized diet tailored to her needs. With the right care she is happy, comfortable and ready to give her whole heart to her forever family. Stella may be in her golden years, but that just means she comes with a calm spirit, a grateful heart, and that much more love to give!

Story
**Razzle's Adoption Fee is now sponsored (3/21/26)** Meet Razzle Dazzle! We believe this cutie is about 3-4 years old. He is about 70 pounds. He is such a sweet boy and is a staff favorite here at Mapleview and the rescue! Everyone loves to be greeted by him in the morning and say goodbye to him when they leave for the day.   Razzle is currently in a foster home and is doing amazing. He loves other dogs and does great with all people and dogs.   Razzle loves all people! He does need a cat free home. He likes to play and has a lot of energy! He would benefit from some basic obedience training and he doesn't realize his size and gets so happy to see people!   We have discovered that Razzle has some allergies which is not surprising with his beautiful white coat and his breed. He came to us with some very sore and torn up paw pads and wounds on his legs. He does better with apoquel, a more expensive allergy medication. He also is on a hypoallergenic diet which is helping his skin as well. He is worth it! He is such a good boy and deserves to be comfortable!   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 .
