Story
Meet Everest, a lovable 1-year-old Shepherd mix who’s ready to find his forever home!This playful pup is already potty trained and walks well on a leash. He’s super dog-friendly and loves romping around with his canine buddies. He has the fastest and cutest zoomies! Everest is food-motivated and eager to please, which makes continued training a fun and rewarding experience.While Everest is affectionate with those he knows, he needs slow positive introductions to new people before entering his home. Because of this, he would do best in a home without children, where he can feel understood. Once he feels safe, he loves to curl up and snooze by your side or on the couch—he’s the ultimate chill companion.Crates aren’t his favorite place, but he does well with structure and a consistent routine. He’d much rather be near his person, especially if it involves a cozy nap or a walk in the fresh air.Everest shines brightest outdoors—whether it`s hiking, exploring, or playing in the yard, he’s the perfect adventure buddy. He’s still a young pup and will thrive with structure, patience, and continued training.If you’re patient, kind, and ready to help him feel safe, Everest will reward you with loyalty and love.

Story
Miss Charli 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! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Miss Charli comes to us from a shelter partner in Kentucky. Miss Charli was surrendered to that shelter by her family, who had had her since she was an 8 week old puppy. We are so sad for this girl who is surely heartbroken, but she is amazing us with her resilience- as dogs do! She is a smiley and affectionate girl who nudges you for pets with her muzzle, and promptly plops down and rolls over for belly rubs. Miss Charli loves people and has always gotten along well with dogs. Having been raised in a home, Miss Charli is housebroken and well trained, and well past the mischievous puppy stage of life! She is a mature lady who is looking for a new home and the love and stability that we know she is craving. Miss Charli recently went to a foster home, and we will update you soon on her progress there! We hope you will inquire about her today! Miss Charli’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative. Upon exam with our vet, Miss Charli was noted to have a fractured tooth and is in need of a dental cleaning. This procedure will be covered by Heartland and is scheduled for 7/16/25 at our shelter.

Story
Meet Blizzard, a charming, young adult, shepherd mix with a heart as pure as freshly fallen snow. This young pup is eager to find his forever home and share his boundless love and loyalty with a lucky family.Blizzard is the epitome of a good boy! He`s mastered crate training and at night, he even settles down in his crate with the door open. However, as typical shepherds do, he may get a bit mischievous if left bored, so plenty of toys and mentally stimulating activities are a must to keep him entertained.On walks, Blizzard is a dream companion, walking nicely on leash unless a squirrel or rabbit catches his eye - then his curiosity may lead to a bit of pulling. He`s a social butterfly, always eager to greet other dogs with a wagging tail and a friendly demeanor. While he may be a tad shy initially with new people, once he warms up, his affectionate nature shines through!Blizzard isn`t one to bark excessively; he prefers to express himself through playful antics and the occasional wag of his tail. While he may not be highly food motivated, he craves human attention and relishes playtime, whether it`s with a favorite toy or exploring the great outdoors.Being a shepherd, Blizzard got a little unlucky with his hips, but he`s doing well with conservative management. With the right care and love, Blizzard is ready for his next adventure with a family who will cherish him as much as he`ll cherish them!Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***
