Story
Billie is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours! Scroll through her pictures to see all her cute video content! Are you looking for a loyal, chill, fun, and loving companion? If you are, then we already have a lot in common. My name is Billie and I am a beautiful, wise, 7-year-old, German Shepard with a loyal, gentle and nurturing soul. What I dream most about, is being by my special person's side. I see us hanging out in a quiet home where we can be all chill and cozy by the TV, having fun with enrichment activities, and going for lots of walks. I also want to show off my talents, and continue to learn new tricks and skills with you. You can think of me as a bit of a social introvert. Being with people one-on-one is something I love best. I feel most comfortable in very small groups of people and I do prefer people to other animals. New dog friends and strangers can sometimes overwhelm me. The volunteers and staff at Heartland rave about how fast I catch onto things, my snuggling abilities, and gentleness while on walks. I keep my kennel clean since I always do my business outside during my walks. Honestly, the folks are so good to me at Heartland, and I love my routine. Even though I am very happy here, have made a ton of human friends, and have settled into a great routine, I sometimes overhear the wonderful peeps at the shelter talk about how much they want me to find my forever person that I can call my own. I know that's what they want for me, even though they are really going to miss me a lot. I also know they will be dedicated to working with me and you so that we can get to know each other and have the best relationship ever. More than anything, I want to live out my best life with my special person who will make a forever commitment to me. I prefer a quiet, adult home, with one, possibly two people to love, and would like to be your one and only pet. In return, I will love you with my entire being and will make you very proud of me. Plus, there are some added bonuses, my adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor and I have a $250 training scholarship! My friends at Heartland are dedicated to helping us get to know each other and will support us along the way. What more can we ask for? Please schedule to meet me real soon, I have so much love to give. Billie's adoption fee is sponsored! This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative

Story
Nicks is living in a foster home. Please submit an application from our website and/or email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you are a match! Nicks is a gorgeous 3 year old black shepherd originally from Florida. Nicks found an amazing adopter who loved her so much, but sadly he passed away unexpectedly and she is now back in our care. We would love to see this special girl find a new perfect person for her super soon! Like many shepherds, Nicks can be weary of new people and takes a little time to let them in. However, once you are in her circle you are in it for life and she will be ready to shower you with love! For example, our staff went to visit her, we hadn't seen her in almost two years, and she greeted us with hugs and kisses. Nicks is currently in foster care with one of her amazing volunteer friends and here are the cliff notes about her! -housebroken -crate-trained for even a full workday -loves to go on walks -loves to cuddle but isn't overly clingy -loves to do enrichment and work on new commands -she was a tester dog for us at the shelter, and loves to meet new dog friends, but in the home, she prefers to be an only child. She does amazing in doggy daycare! Nicks' adoption fee is sponsored by a generous donor! This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Hi people of San Antonio! My name is Ralf aka Ralfy aka Ralfy Palfy. My fosters gave me the last nickname because they say I will make someone a great Pal. You see, I was found on the side of the road barely alive after being hit by a car. I couldn't walk very well because my pelvis was broken in three places. But after visiting this place called the veterinarian, I started feeling much better. Unfortunately before my accident I had never met kind humans and still to this day, I'm very easily startled and scared of new people. It's going to take someone very special and patient to earn my trust. But once you earn it, I'm the sweetest and most gentle dog ever. I love love love chest rubs and ear scratches. But my number one love of all time is treats!!! I love all flavors so if you decide to take me home, don't be shy when shopping for me! I enjoy sunbathing and relaxing in my kennel. It's my safe place when I feel overwhelmed. I promise to love you if you promise to take the time to get to know me. I will do best in a quiet house with maybe 1 or 2 adults and an older mature doggy friend. I don't care much for traveling and prefer to be a homebody. I do love to play with doggy friends and don't mind cats either. I'm currently working on becoming more confident in public spaces. What do you say? Can you give me a shot? Ralf is kennel trained and potty trained. He is a local adoption only. His current foster is a trainer who is willing to offer two free sessions along with his adoption to set you both up for success and better help you understand what he will need and how you can help provide that for him. He is a Shepherd mix that weighs roughly 50lbs. Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
It's a tale they hear all the time. I don't want the dog, or life's changed and we can't take the dog anymore... but I was dumped at a park for weeks before someone noticed that I was "living there. A kind person took me in and I have been in foster care ever since. Waiting for my turn when someone will say that's the girl for me! I am kind and love my person very much. So much in fact that I would prefer a home that is just me and my people. Speaking of people. When it comes to kids I am not the biggest fan. The perfect home would be one that has grown children and they are looking for a new partner to love on. I am an extreme couch potato and one of my most favorite activities would be to lay on the couch under a nice blanket and just be. You see I am starting to show the early signs of arthritis. Don't let my lazy couches fool you though. When I want, I can be active too! AKA, I love to counter surf and see what these silly humans have left behind for me to snack on! I would like to say I can live in any style home but in reality. I need space. I am not a fan of dog parks, and I would not be a good candidate for apartments. You see these giant ears I have allow me to hear SO much and I love to let my people know when I hear things outside. Yes, I am a talker too! Really at the end of the day if you have German Shepherd experience you'd be my perfect new owner! I need someone that understands my breed and can help me be a successful girl into my golden years. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)
