Story
Meet Happy – The Little Dog with the Biggest Smile! Two-year-old Happy lives up to his name every single day! This adorable blond Shih Tzu has a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. He was born with a congenital malformation in his back legs (they’re straight instead of bent), but don’t tell him that—he has no idea he’s any different! Happy runs, plays, and zooms around just like any other pup. There’s truly no slowing him down. Happy loves everyone he meets and hands out kisses freely. He’s always smiling, always ready to play, and his cheerful energy is absolutely contagious. He enjoys playing with toys and would thrive in a home with another friendly dog around his size to romp and relax with. Because he’s a spirited little guy with “selective hearing” when it comes to recall, a secure fenced yard is a must for his safety. If you’re looking for a loyal, joyful, one-of-a-kind companion who’ll fill your life with laughter and love, Happy is waiting with a grin and a wagging tail.

Thank you for your interest in one of our Hero Babies! Before inquiring, we thought it was important to share a few of our policies. Your Current Pets - We do require that your current dogs and cats are current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Adoptions - We do not have a shelter and are a foster-home based organization. We do require that you have an approved adoption application to schedule a meet and greet. You can fill out an adoption application on our website, www.herorescue.org/adopt. Once your application is approved it will be sent to the foster family that is currently caring for the dog. They will be able to provide information on likes, dislikes, personality, etc. They will also schedule a time for you to meet the dog. We do require a home visit prior to adoption. Inquiries - If you would like more information on any dogs in the rescue, please email us at info@herorescue.org.

Story
A fosters-to-adopt option is available for me, giving us the chance to get to know each other before making it official! Meet Baby Bruno! Bruno may be small, but he’s got a big personality—and a little spice to go with it! This clever, loyal pup is full of love once he feels safe with you. At first, he can be nervous around new people and situations, but with patience (and maybe a little cheese), his sweet and affectionate side shines through. Because Bruno can become nippy if startled or rushed, he’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands “spicy” dogs and is willing to respect his boundaries. A calm, low-traffic home without children will be the best fit for him. The good news? Bruno has plenty of great qualities to offer his perfect person! He’s housetrained, crate-trained, and enjoys the company of other dogs. A fenced yard is required, but he also does well on leash. To help set him up for success, Bruno’s adoption will include a couple of meet-and-greets and a home visit. He isn’t a dog for everyone—but for the right person, he’ll be a devoted and wonderful companion. Baby Bruno weighs 13lbs. and is approximately 4 years old (est. birth date 03/22/2021). Baby Bruno has been neutered, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped. Baby Bruno's adoption fee is $85. If you want more information about Baby Bruno, please submit a survey at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FKDS/Dog. At this time, meeting our dogs is by appointment only. After submitting a survey, an adoption counselor will contact you to give you more information about the dog you are interested in adopting and to arrange for you to meet. Must be at least 21 years of age to adopt.

Story
Oreo is a precious 2 year old shih-tzu. He is a super sweet boy that is leash trained and crate trained. Oreo can be dog selective with other dogs, so likely would be best as an only dog. He doesn’t like sharing his toys or people. This baby boy loves to cuddle with his person. If you are interested in learning more, please apply to furkids.org.
