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 loves people! He can be shy at first, but after a short while he falls in love. He does great with children too! We were told he lived in a home previously with other dogs and he has met a few here at the rescue and has done well. We estimate Bill to be about 2 years old. We do not know what breed he is but guess some type of hound/lab mix. He is neutered, current on vaccines, negative heartworm/tick disease test and negative fecal test. An approved adoption application is required.

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
Meet Finnie-named after Detroit Red Wings Player Emmitt Finnie. This girl is a giant puppy with a big heart and absolutely no plans to keep all four paws on the floor when there’s a hug to give. She’s happy to meet everyone and makes friends fast! We think Finnie is just under a year old. She started life as an outdoor dog, so she’s still learning the basics of living in a home. She’s already doing amazingly well with potty training, and her leash skills have come a long way! She’s also met another dog named Bill and is starting to figure out how to ask him to play. Finnie is looking for a forever home with someone who has experience with dogs of a similar breed and can make time for patient, consistent training. If you’re looking for a sweet best friend who’s up for adventures and always has a hug for you, Finnie might be your girl.   Applicants must have prior Rottweiler (or similar breed) experience. An approved adoption application is required. The $300 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 .
