Story

🌸 Meet Kona – Your Future Fluffy Sidekick! 🌸 Hi friends! My name is Kona, and I’m a 3-year-old Poodle on the search for my forever family. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, slightly-fluffy shadow… I might just be your girl! I’m friendly and loving with humans of all ages. I can be shy when meeting someone new but give me just a little time and I’ll be scooting closer for cuddles. Once you’re in my circle, you’re in for life. I adore being near my people — whether we’re: Going for walks Playing and burning off some of my happy energy Heading out on adventures Or snuggling up for a cozy night in I love my fellow canine buddies and would happily have a dog friend. I haven’t met any cats yet, so that would be a new experience for me. I’m also wonderful with kids — gentle, sweet, and ready to be their loyal companion. And because I am a proper lady… I’m house trained. No messes here! If you’re on the hunt for a loving, loyal best friend who will happily be your sidekick in life, I’d love to meet you. 💕 Give Heartland a call to set up a meet and greet — I’ll be waiting with my tail wagging! 🐩✨

Story

Ringo came to Heartland from a home that loved him — they just had too many animals to keep up. Ringo is incredibly sweet, loyal, good with other dogs, and tolerant of kids — as long as no one expects him to wrestle like a young pup. He’s on arthritis meds, happy to relax, and ready to be someone’s steady companion.

Story

🐾 Hello there! I’m Jacob! I’m a 5-month-old mixed-breed puppy on the lookout for my forever family — could that be you? I’m a sweet, friendly boy who loves humans of all ages and is always happy to make new friends. I get along great with other dogs, and while I haven’t met any cats yet, I’m an open-minded pup who’s willing to learn and share space with new companions given proper introductions. One of my best features? I’m already house trained — pretty impressive for a guy my age, if I do say so myself! I’ve got plenty of classic puppy energy and would make an awesome sidekick for a family with an active lifestyle. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or new adventures, I’m ready to be right by your side. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who’s ready to bring joy, fun, and lots of tail wags into your life, I just might be your perfect match. 📞 Give Heartland a call to set up a meet and greet — I can’t wait to meet you!

Story

Bonnie was born on 1/2/24. She is a sweet, spunky, laid back dog. Calm temperament. She is good with kids but seems to have separation anxiety. Plays very well with other dogs. We have 3 young kids and can’t give her the love or time she deserves. She can be very timid with new people.
