Story
Lola Dove 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! Sweet 7 year old Lola Dove is a very special girl to us here at Heartland! Lola came to us from a horrendous puppy mill in Wisconsin in early September and when she arrived, she was a shell of a dog that was petrified of everyone and everything. She has spent time at both the shelter and in a quiet foster home slowly coming out of her shell and gaining confidence. Lola is shy when she first meets new people, but once she has decided she is safe with you, she is so loving! Lola gets so excited when her people walk in the room, she does a whole body wiggle and even smiles! She will sneak up to give you kisses and is so content to cuddle up next to you. Lola adores stuffies and will carry them around and use them as a pillow when she sleeps🥰 Lola has been with her foster mom for over a month now, and her adorable personality is really starting to show. She’s housebroken - and has recently started to go to the door to ask to be left out. She’s fine to leave free roaming, no crate necessary for this girl, and is used to being left alone regularly. She lives with a cat friend and does well sharing her space! Here is what her foster mom has to say about her. “Lola Dove has made an amazing amount of progress. The first week she did a lot of sleeping and I had to put the leash on her to get her to go outside. By week two she'd follow me outside without the leash. At week three she was following me around the yard and now she'll run around like crazy in the yard (she loves snow and doesn't mind going out in the rain either). I'm noticing that she is becoming more relaxed every day. She greets me when I come home and wants to be by my side when I'm watching TV, she's a big fan of Law and Order reruns and will happily snuggle on the couch and binge watch just about anything. Lola Dove has learned not to try to scoot out the door, I just say wait and she knows she's not coming with. Lola Dove was sleeping in my family room for the first few weeks, then one morning when I woke up she was sleeping on the floor next to my bed. She has not tried to get in the bed, which is fine with me but now I have a bed for her in my room and the living room, when it's bed time, she heads to my room and curls up in her bed. I am enjoying watching her blossom into a more confident dog!” Lola needs a special, quiet home that will understand her needs and give her the patience/ space she needs to blossom, but we know that home is out there for her! Please inquire about Lola Dove today if you are looking to make a difference in the life of a special dog! Lola Dove’s adoption fee has been generously sponsored. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Anna, a sweet 2-year-old Dachshund/Retriever mix who traveled all the way from out of state to find her forever home. This gentle girl is looking for a quiet place where she can decompress and settle into her new life. Anna would thrive in a patient household where she can take her time to adjust and feel safe. Once she’s comfortable, she’ll be a loyal, loving companion who is sure to fill your home with joy. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate dog to join your family and you have the time and patience to help her blossom, Anna just might be the perfect fit. Come meet her today! Here is what Anna’s foster had to say about her! What a sweetie! Anna came to us in pretty rough shape. She didn’t know how to interact with people and was too scared to leave her crate. We’ve had her in our home for a while now and she has certainly come out of her shell! She may take a while to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you she is a sweet and goofy dog that loves to receive tummy rubs! Anna is mostly house trained, and has learned to come and sit (almost always!) on command. She loves going out for walks, but can often be startled easily by people. We are still working on getting her confidence up, so someone with a lot of patience would be best… but she is a fast learner! We think she would do well in a quiet home with another dog or as a solo dog with an experienced dog parent. She is also a highly trained sock thief, so watch your hamper!

Story
Letti is a sweet, loyal girl who loves being near her people — whether she’s napping nearby or happily chewing on her favorite toy. She’s a cuddle bug at heart and is always ready to snuggle up on the couch or ask for some one-on-one attention (sometimes a little enthusiastically!).Letti enjoys spending time outdoors, especially chasing leaves and exploring the yard. She can be a bit shy on walks, so a patient adopter with treats and a secure harness will help her build confidence.She’s a smart girl who responds well to redirection and enjoys training sessions — they’re a great way to engage her curious mind and strengthen your bond. Letti does best with slow introductions to new people and dogs and will thrive with someone who understands her need to feel safe and secure.While confinement isn’t her favorite, Letti does well when given a comfy space and the freedom to relax. She’s learning that being alone is okay and shows her gentle, loyal nature by waiting patiently for her person to come home.Letti is a loving companion who will blossom with a dog-savvy adopter ready to give her the structure, understanding, and affection she deserves. Once she trusts you, she’ll be your devoted shadow — always close by, ready to love and be loved.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Hi there, Charlamagne here!Let me introduce myself, I am happy, go lucky guy who loves life. At a few months shy of 9 years old, they say I am a senior, but I am young at heart and ready to enjoy life.Give me a toy, especially one that squeaks and life is good. I am not really interested in playing fetch, but I do like my toys. I also love spending time in the yard and if I get to chase one of those little critters, I think you call them squirrels that is super fun. Walks are nice too and I am practicing my manners when on a leash. When we are not playing a snuggle or a good belly rub is very nice.In the house I am a great guest, if I do say so myself. I will leave your stuff alone; I know to ask to go outside to do my business and if you think it is necessary I will sleep in my crate......though I would much rather sleep on the couch if that is allowed. A canine friend would be ok though I am not really looking for a playmate so would be happy to have all of your attention.As you can see from my pictures, I always have a smile on my face. I would love to meet you and spread some happiness at your house. Hope you come to see me soon.Interested in adopting this dog?
