Story
Hi there! My name is Delores,!I am a 9-year-old, medium-sized lab mix that was trying my best to survive living in the forest before AHeinz57 came and rescued me. Living in the forest was not easy for me, so my hard start to life has made me slow to trust people and leery of other dogs, but I have learned a lot since I arrived.The volunteers have described me as shy, sweet, and cautious, but when I see people I know, my tail wags with excitement! I have learned to take treats gently from hands, but I am still hesitant to be petted. I even allowed some of the volunteers to brush me and change my collar, which were big steps that were not so easy for me! I even love fluffy beds and keep my kennel clean. One thing is for sure is that the shelter life is so much better than the forest, but I would still love to be in a home to call my own!Since being here at the shelter, I not only do well with my buddy Howard and have grown closer enough to play with him in the yard, but I have also learned to play nicely with other dogs and may even do well with another dog in the home. Although I have not lived in a home with another dog, it may be a little difficult at first to find the right routine, but as long as I have proper and slow introductions to them, we can learn to get along. I would do best in an adult home since kids are too noisy and loud for me, as I can get scared easily. It will take multiple meetings with me and even then, I might not be the most social, but I promise to love you forgiving me a chance. I do require a fully fenced in yard as it will help keep me safe and secure from wandering away. With the fence being a requirement, an apartment or townhome would not work well for me, but I appreciate the thought of wishing me luck in finding the perfect home for me! Now that the majority of my pack have since been adopted, I hear the volunteers talk about how all of them are doing well in their homes, and how they wish the same for me and my buddy Howard. I would love the opportunity for a quiet, patient, and consistent home that will let me grow at my own pace but will also show me the perks of house living! All of us forest dogs have our little quirks, but that is what makes us special. If you are interested in scheduling a time to meet with me or would like to know more information about me, please fill out an adoption application.Until then, I will be waiting for you and the chance to have a home to call my own.

Story
Hi, I`m Fenmore! I was found in an abandoned shed with my girlfriend (Summer Thayer) and her puppies. Because there wasn`t a way for us to get out and get to food, I taught myself how to parkour and I am now known as an escape artist. With my jumping abilities and my high energy, I’m apparently seen as a flight risk, so a fenced in yard is not required for me. I am a bit of a chatter box, so a home with shared walls may not be the best fit for me.Although I can be a little more energetic, I also like to chill out if given a little attention and love. When volunteers come to hang out with me, I usually give them a big hug to show how much I care for them! When I make new friends, I give them hugs too!In playgroups, I’ve loved to play with other dogs and have been in the rough and rowdy group, but I will need a proper introduction to any furry friends in your home as well as humans to make sure that we all get along! I make fast friends, but sometimes my energy could be a lot for little kids and can scare them, but older children may feel most comfortable with my energy. I have not met a cat since my time here at AHeinz57, but I bet the volunteers or employees here would be happy to test me with a feline to see if I will like them or if I would consider them more like a fun interactive toy.If you would like to know more information or would like to schedule a time to meet with me, complete an application on the website or call the rescue to talk with one of my friends!

Story
Meet Joy: Happy energetic sweetheartJoy is exactly what her name promises — a bright, happy girl who brings enthusiasm and love everywhere she goes. This 8-month-old yellow Lab mix who might have some GSD has a beautiful, thick, wavy coat and a personality to match.Joy came to AHeinz on transport from an Oklahoma shelter, escaping a dangerous winter freeze in an open shelter where care was limited. Now she’s safe, warm, and ready to start the next chapter of her life.At about 45 pounds, Joy is likely close to her adult size. She’s an energetic young dog with a big heart and lots of affection to give. She absolutely adores people and is always thrilled to receive attention — sometimes a little too thrilled! Because she hasn’t learned that not everyone loves jumping hugs, Joy would do best in a home without small children, where her enthusiasm won’t accidentally knock anyone over.Joy is:-Very friendly with people and dogs-Great with larger dogs who can match her energy-Not a good fit for homes with cats or very small dogs-In need of leash training and would benefit from continued basic training-Not mouthy or barky and slept quietly through the night in a puppy pen-Showed signs of house training though not sure yet how wellJoy has just arrived, so we’re still getting to know her, but she already shows signs of being a loving, eager young dog who will thrive with structure, consistency, and an active home. With some guidance, she’ll be an amazing companion for someone who enjoys training and watching a dog grow into her best self.Joy is spayed and will be fully vaccinated prior to adoption.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion and don’t mind a little joyful enthusiasm while she polishes her manners, Joy may be your perfect match. Updates will be shared as we learn more about this wonderful girl.
