Story

My name may have came from the best Jonah Hill movie, but my personality is none the same. I’m a happy, laid back dude who is super cool about joining you in whatever you want to do. Ready for a walk or hike? I am too. Ready to chill or nap? I’ll join ya. Want to take a drive, let’s go! Want to hop like a kangaroo? Yep, I do that too! I have spent a lot of time outside prior to coming to HHS but I equally enjoy being inside. The great gals at HHS got me neutered and up to date on all vaccines and I’m the total package!

Story

Hey there! Do you think I'm just the cutest thing? The ladies here at the shelter sure do! Now take a look at my brother, Loki, and you will think you are seeing double! We are a pretty sweet pair and would love a home where we could stay together if possible. I'm a little more outgoing than Loki, so I kind of show him around, but we both love to crawl in your lap and get all the snuggles. I do good with housetraining and crate training and also do well on walks. If you think you are ready to double your pleasure, come take a look at me and my brother!

Story

Hello my name is MItzi. Ive been told that I am ready to find my forever home. I am looking for someone who does not mind me snuggling with them at night under the covers as I like to burrow into blankets. It helps me feel safe. I do think that I need a quieter home since lots of loud noises make me nervous. If you that you can be forever Humane please call the nice ladies at Heartland to meet me. For now I'm gonna snuggle into my blankets and dream of yummy treats.

Story

Hi! I'm Loki, the big brother in the latest duo to hit Heartland. Me and my pal LuLu have been together since we were born and we love each other, so it would be pretty cool if our new home would like to have both of us. I do love to crawl up in a nice cozy lap. I am quite drawn to children that are nice and gentle with me. Some of the things we have overheard hoomans saying about us is sweet, adorable, and cuddly. Oh, and lap-lover. I have also been crate trained and do well in there, if necessary. I get a little worried when I don't know where my sister is, so keeping us together would be great.
