Story
Scout is a loving, gentle companion who just wants to be near her person. She’s happiest when she can relax beside you, nap in a sunny spot, or get cozy for cuddles. A few years ago, Scout had a spinal injury that left her with limited bladder control, but she’s learned to adapt beautifully. With a consistent routine and someone who can let her out regularly, she does her best to go outside. Her occasional accidents are more about needing supervision and a calm, attentive home than a lack of awareness. She can walk and even run in short bursts but doesn’t need long walks and she’s more of a homebody who enjoys a peaceful environment. Scout would thrive in a slower-paced household where she can be part of daily life instead of spending too much time in a kennel. She does best in homes without young kids, simply because too much activity makes her nervous. She’s full of love and personality — she just needs someone patient who sees past her challenges and recognizes how special she is.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Linda is a VERY sweet 5 year old, 25lb female French Bulldog. She is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped. This precious girl was surrendered by her breeder. She does have IVDD, but she is able to walk well unassisted.... Linda is very lucky that she can still walk, because she was bred knowing she had IVDD, but because of that, she has lost most control of her bowels and bladder. She will, however, happily wear a diaper and onesie. She will also need to be given extra care not to strain herself too much and contribute to a flare-up. Linda is SUCH an adorable, sweet , extremely affectionate, and loving girl. She is great with other dogs, children, and adults. She would love a home where she would be appreciated for the rest of her life despite her condition because she does not let it hold her back one bit from being a really wonderful companion. If you're interested in this adorable and sweet girl, please visit our website heertorescue.org and submit an application for us to review.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 12, 2026, 2:18 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sailor is a very special girl that has a moderate cleft palate. She eats a large kibble and drinks just fine from a regular water bowl. We would love to find someone for her that is familiar with Cleft palates. She has no other health issues. Sailor can be a bully with other dogs, so we would prefer to place her as an only dog, also no cats please or other small pets as she has a very strong prey drive. She can definitely keep you entertained all by herself! She loves to play with water from the hose, toys, and run on a treadmill. She would love to do agility or even something like lure coursing. Sailor is also crate trained and walks well on leash. She is a very active dog and would love to be in a home that can provide lots of stimulation, walks, runs, car rides, shes ready for it all (temperature permitting)! Sailor is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and spayed.

Wyatt loves to spend his time playing, or indulging in mass affection,cuddles and adoration from his people. He does need a home where someone is home majority of the time or has the ability to take him with them. Wyatt is crate trained, potty trained and walks well on leash.

Story
Coco is a 10 year old French bulldog. She likes to play and chew up toys(so don’t leave items on the floor..she will eat them), she also love to eat and take lots of naps. She is SUPER loving, if you sit by her she will automatically lay in your lap.. which can be a bad thing if tyhere are a lot of people around she wants to say to everyone haha! I would love her to live somewhere with a backyard preferably but mainly someone who will give her lots of attention as she is an older dog she needs to go potty every 3-4 hours. My boyfriend found her outside and she was not chipped unfortunately at the time so never found an owner and I was about 6 months pregnant at the time but now that I have the baby I can not give her the time and love she needs. Please please message if serious!
