Story

Nessie is a sweet, gentle 1-year-old Lab mix who is ready to find a family of her very own. She came to rescue after being found abandoned in Tennessee with her babies, our Fast Food litter. Despite her rough start, Nessie has a loving heart and is learning just how wonderful life as a cherished family dog can be. Nessie is housebroken and crate trained, and she gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. She enjoys the company of other animals and is always happy to have friends around. While she may be a little reserved when meeting new people or experiencing new situations, she simply takes her time to feel comfortable. Once she does, her sweet personality shines through. This girl has mastered the art of relaxation. She believes couches were made for lounging, beds are perfect for napping, and sunny spots on the deck are the best place to recharge her batteries. In fact, Nessie seems to be solar-powered and can often be found soaking up the sunshine whenever she gets the chance. Nessie loves her people, enjoys the company of other dogs, and doesn't mind cats at all. One of her favorite hobbies is collecting every toy she can find and proudly carrying them outside. She likes to know her family is nearby but is also independent enough to relax when they're away. Like many young dogs, Nessie is still working on a few things, including basic manners and resisting the temptation to counter surf. She's eager to learn and continues to make great progress. Nessie would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and explore, or with a family committed to taking her on regular walks and adventures. Her only strong opinion? Rain is completely unnecessary, and she'd prefer to stay inside when it's wet. If you're looking for a loyal, laid-back companion with a sweet soul and plenty of love to give, Nessie may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story

Hello Everyone, My name is Arthur and I’m a 7 mo old adorable Great Dane puppy who is as sweet as can be. I am looking for my happily ever after. I was confiscated due to poor living conditions and I’m now enjoying life with my foster family as I wait for my forever family. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am an absolute sweetheart. I’m a bit shy at first but we are working on that. I am a sweet, loving and smart lil boy who just wants a loving family. I will need a little time, confidence building, love and patience adjusting to my new home. I am good with children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (neutered, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Arthur

Story

Me and my partner at the time purchased thunder from a breeder. He is a big goofy and slobbery boy. Loves to be the center of attention, and getting out to run around in the yard. He is a great walker, and is truly a gentle giant who doesnt know his size. He was housed with another dog and cat. As well as 3 kids 13 and under. Unfortunately, me and my partner did not work out, and my work schedule has me out of the house 15 hours a day. This is not ideal for any animal, and i would like thunder to go to a person/or family that can suit his needs better than i can.

Ushi

Great Dane American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 1 yr 11 mos

Wheeling, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ushi is living in a foster home! Please submit an application from our website and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to learn if you're a match! Scroll through her pictures to see her cute video content! Don't be fooled by that pouty face- it is part of her charm! Ushi is as happy a dog as they come. Ushi arrived to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control as a young pup in March of 2025. This skinny young thing had come down with the "shelter ick," and sadly that turned into a case of pneumonia. We nursed Ushi to health and were so happy when she as adopted the next month. Unfortunately, Ushi's adopters made the difficult decision to re-home her recently. We were glad to welcome her back and in awe of how much she had grown! She is a beautiful young lady, with the exact same pout she had as a puppy. Ushi is beautifully built-- she is long and lean-- and because her adopters did a DNA test we know she is a Great Dane/pittie mix! While it is sad that Ushi has once again found herself in need of a home, the good news is that because she had a home for so many months we know a great deal about her. We know that she is great with all people, housebroken, and crate trained. She knows several commands, and is very well behaved inside of the home. Sometimes, of course, she gets the zoomies, but her adopters described her as a great dog to work from home alongside. They write, "Ushi has so many best qualities. She is sweet, eager to please, learns very quickly, calms down quickly even after periods of intensity. Ushi rarely barks, even at activity out the window, is not prey driven, lets me snuggle her, and self-entertains during the work day. Ushi is doing great at recall exercises outside on a long leash, and is working on "place" exercises at home. Ushi does really well on "place" at the training facility we go to. Ushi doesn't rush or run out the door (we've trained on that). Ushi doesn't counter-surf (we have been careful not to give her the opportunity by not leaving stuff counter edges). Ushi doesn't steal socks, shoes or things that aren't hers, with the rare exception....I could go on." Ushi is now in a wonderful foster home, and her foster describes her as "an angel". When we asked for a description of Ushi, here is what her foster had to say - "Ushi is so lovable! Ushi will make a great pet for a person or family with the right environment. Ideally a yard, with walks, she also does well on runs! She settles in after being outside, and loves to watch the city life and observe, but doesn't bark! She already knows basic commands which is lovely but could benefit more from some additional training, as she is still a puppy! She will melt your hear with her snuggles, cuddles, and tummy rubs. The pouty princess secretly is having a blast despite her face!” Ushi would be a great dog for an owner who enjoys training and working with their dog. She would also be a great dog for someone who already has a dog, as she has great dog-dog social skills! Ushi is a wonderful pup who is a ready-made companion for someone who wants a dog that is young but pretty laid back, polite, social, and intelligent. Which is...everyone?! We hope! Please inquire about Ushi today! Ushi’s adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Maribel

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you’ve ever dreamed of having a best friend as big as a horse and twice as sweet, Maribel might just be your girl! This gentle giant is bursting with friendliness and charm. She might just lean right into you for hugs (and maybe a little drool of appreciation). She’s also incredibly smart and very food-motivated, which makes her a quick learner. On walks, she loves checking in with her person and stays focused, ready to learn new things. Energy-wise, Maribel is the perfect mix — not a couch potato, but not a marathon runner either. She’s always up for a stroll, a play session, or just hanging out with her favorite humans.
