Story
Alfie is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet him during open hours! Scroll through his photos to see his adorable video content! Alfie originally came to Heartland from one of our rescue partners in Garland, Texas. He was fostered by one of our staff members and lived with her family and her 3 dogs until he was adopted in October. Unfortunately, his adopter's health began to decline with age and he is no longer able to care for Alfie, so he's made the difficult decision to return him to us. Alfie's adopter filled out a bio form for us, and if anything, this dog is consistent! It doesn't sound like he's changed at all since he was in his foster home. Alfie is still the squat little wrecking ball we loved before! His adopter writes, "Alfie has lots of energy and loves to play. During TV time in the evenings, he snuggles and likes to sit on your lap. During walks, he enjoys sniffing the grass and otherwise checks in regularly, looking for treats for good behavior. While he's home alone, he has free reign in the basement den, where he chills out on a blanket, or plays with his toys. He is totally housebroken. Car rides are great fun for him, panting as he likes looking out the window. What's more, he's smart, trained, and lovable.". Alfie enthusiastically greets all humans as if he's known them his whole life. He also LOVES to play — and when we say play, we mean full-contact wrestling, dramatic chase scenes, and chaotic backyard WWE matches with his dog friends. He would thrive with another playful dog who enjoys roughhousing and can match his goofy energy level. He’s not trying to start trouble, he just thinks every day is recess. We paired him with other rowdy players at Heartland and they had the absolute best time together! If your current dog needs a gym buddy or your house is missing a goofball snuggle buddy, Alfie is ready to help. Alfie’s adoption fee is $300. He is neutered and is up to date on core vaccines. Alfie was previously treated for Heartworm disease with us, completing his treatment in December of 2025. Heartworm is a mosquito-borne disease and is not contagious to others. Per American Heartworm Society guidelines, he will need a retest in September 2026, to be done at the adopter's vet.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi!! I’m Petey! I’m an adorable pug/Dachshund mix, and I made my way here after a stay at Bandera Animal Control—but honestly, I’m just focused on the good stuff now… like PLAYTIME. I’ve got a big personality packed into a little body, and I’m full of energy and fun. I LOVE to play. Toys? Yes, please—all of them. I’ll chase them, toss them, and keep myself (and you) entertained. I’ve always got a little bounce in my step, and I’m happiest when I’m running around or right in the middle of whatever you’re doing. I’m super friendly and love everyone I meet, so making new friends is kind of my thing. I do get excited (okay, really excited), and I might bark to let you know just how happy I am—but that’s just me being me! Life is exciting, and I’m here for it. After I’ve burned off some energy, I’m more than happy to hang out and soak up attention. I just love being part of the action. I might need a little help with potty training at first, but I’m a smart guy and with some patience and consistency, I’ll get the hang of it in no time. My adoption fee is $400. If you want to take me home, apply at www.adoggie4you.org. I’m currently in Texas, but I can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast. If I need a ride to you, there’s an additional $225 transport fee. I can’t go to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state rules.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 12, 2026, 6:46 pm

Story
Mimi is an adorable Puggle with a charming personality and an independent spirit all her own. She's currently working on potty training and is crate trained, but she's the type of girl who likes to do things on Mimi time. While she may not always be the most attentive pup, Mimi enjoys being near her people and can often be found lounging on the back of the couch, quietly keeping an eye on the household. She's still adjusting to her new surroundings and learning what life as a beloved family pet is all about. One thing Mimi is very enthusiastic about? Food! She's highly motivated by people-food and has been known to climb onto chairs and even tables in search of a tasty snack. Her future family will need to help her learn appropriate boundaries and keep tempting treats out of reach. Mimi also has an adventurous side. She's frequently found checking out the front door or garage door, seemingly dreaming about her next expedition. Because of this, her family will need to be extra mindful when coming and going—if she spots an opportunity, she may try to sneak out and explore. Mimi is looking for a patient family that appreciates her independent nature while helping her continue to build good habits and settle into a routine. In return, she'll provide plenty of entertainment, companionship, and her own unique brand of affection. If you're looking for a quirky, clever Puggle with a big personality and an adventurous spirit, Mimi may be the perfect fit for your home!   Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 11:00-3:00pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person. Follow us on Facebook for additional updates and sneak peeks of new adoptables!  https://www.facebook.com/reachrescue ##2735713##

Story
The wonderful Canine Care staff is helping me deal with the loss of my guardian and they are giving me extra loving. I lived with a cat and I also get along with dogs. I love walks, that’s the perfect way to get some fresh air, discover new smells and even bark at the wind. I’m quite affectionate so always ready to get some petting or relax on the couch with you. Nights are lonely without a family so what about me being able to sleep in my own home tonight?
