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 has been generously sponsored! He is neutered and is up to date on core vaccines. Alfie's adopter is entitled to a training scholarship worth $250. We are not able to pay this upfront; rather, once you have attended classes or had in-home or virtual training sessions, you can send us an invoice or receipt and we will reimburse you via check up to $250. Please note: the trainer must be a positive reinforcement trainer! 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.Meet Gus – Your New Best Friend!  Gus is a lovable Pug mix with a heart as sweet as they come. Through no fault of his own, he found himself owner surrendered to a shelter, but he's ready to leave that chapter behind and find the forever family he deserves. Gus can be unsure of meeting new people at first, and may be a little shy and territorial. Once he knows you, he will be your best friend for life. He will welcome you with kisses, happy jumps, lots of tail wags.  When Gus was owner surrendered, we were told that he is potty trained and does know how to use a bell to alert when needing to use the bathroom. He is also not much of a barker, gets along great with dogs, rides well in a car, and walks well on leash.  Gus is neutered, 4DX negative, microchipped, current on all vaccinations, and protected with ProHeart 12 and Bravecto.  His adoption fee is $400. To apply to adopt Gus, visit www.adoggie4you.org. Gus is currently located in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (Kentucky), and locations along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. Please note that transport is not available to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 16, 2026, 1:05 pm

Story
Are you ready for Cronk? Cronk is a young adult male pug, almost sable in coloration. He came to the rescue from Laredo where he had a rough life, likely used for back yard breeding. Having now been neutered, as the hormones fade from his system, he will be able to focus with greater ease on other activities. He loves to cuddle, loves to eat, likes toys. He is a happy, sweet boy. He is crate trained & is 80-90% housebroken with a doggy door- quite an accomplishment as he was likely crated except when used as a stud. Although he is dog and cat friendly & loves all people of all ages, he would likely do best as a solo dog given his abusive past. Open up your heart & home to this gorgeous & sweet little pug, so deserving of a loving “furever” home for the next chapter of his life. Attributes: 80-90% housebroken with doggy door Dog & cat friendly, but would likely do best as solo dog Active Local adoption fee is $400(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
We are the three amigos…or rather the three hermanos (brothers). Guess you could also call us the three clowns as we provide plenty of entertainment for people and dogs. We are always ready to have fun, run around and chase each other in a play yard. Look at us! We are all from the planet love. With one or more of us around you, life will take on a whole new meaning. So, who will it be, Mars, Mercury or Saturn? You could also adopt two of us….and while you are at it, what about all three of us? You may have a difficult choice deciding who to adopt? Second adoption fee is always 50% off!

Story
One of the Canine Care staff members describes me as having the cutest smile and an adventurous spirit to match. How is that for an intro? I feel like I’m blushing a little…I enjoy exploring everything, running free like a bird in a play yard and making every day fun. I’m ready for my next adventure…with my family. Are you ready too? Since I tested positive for heartworm, I’m looking for a home that would foster me while I undergo the treatment (still paid for and coordinated through Save-A-Pet’s cooperating vets). Once I test negative, then we could formalize my status as family member to “adopted.”
