Story
Alpha and Omega are at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet them during open hours! Scroll through each of their pictures to see their cute videos! Alpha and Omega have been here before. Back in 2022, they were young pups (then known as Zach and Cody!) who spent a few weeks at our shelter. Our staff loved them then, just as we do now! These boys were adopted into a nice home together, but sadly their adopter passed away suddenly and recently, and Alpha and Omega were left without a home. They wound up with Northbrook Animal Control, who thankfully traced their microchips back to us, and reached out. As you can see from their videos, the boys have adjusted very well to their new reality. They are a testament to the resilience of dogs! We are sure the transition has been easier because they have each other, just as they always have. Though littermates can have their share of issues when kept together for so long (you may have heard of "Littermate Syndrome"), these two are *such* well-adjusted and happy pups! While some bonded pairs of dogs can have an "us vs the world" mentality, these two are happy to socialize with all of the dogs and vacillate between co-existing and throwing play bows during play group, which is just so adorable to see! And of course, Alpha and Omega each have their own unique personalities! While we were not initially fans of these names (and some of us still call them Zach and Cody!), we can see why their adopter named them as such: Alpha is bigger in size and is the more independent and serious of the two, while Omega has that "I'm just happy to be here" energy and is always wagging, wiggling, joyful and smiling! Alpha doesn't beg for attention but he likes to come right beside you and present his hind quarters for scratching, which is his favorite thing! Omega has the fluffy, wavy coat of an un-sheared sheep and he loves pets and full body scratches! There are SO many great things about these two in particular, and about dogs their age in general! Alpha and Omega have been living in a home the last few years and that shows, by which we mean they are housebroken, not destructive, social, polite, well-mannered, and overall so easy-peasy! They were so good for their baths, nail trims, and vet exams. Best of all, these two walk GREAT on a leash together. Walking both of these boys is way easier than walking one of some our other dogs, ha. We love that they still have some playfulness, too. Not just with the other dogs, but with each other and especially with their stuffies! They love a new stuffy, and get so excited when we toss them a new one. They never rip them up, just carry them around and put them in their beds. We know that getting one larger dog adopted is a challenge these days, let alone two. And while we are not sure that they are totally bonded, meaning neither of them will panic if the other is out of sight, we feel we owe it to them for now to try to keep them together. We hope that someone is out there and willing to take on two amazing pups who are going to ease into their new lives so seamlessly. ***We are open to a foster or a foster to adopt arrangement for these boys! Anything to get them back in a home where they belong! Their adoption fee is $300. They are neutered, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

Story
Juanita is living in a foster home! Complete an application on our website and email dogs@heartlandanimalshelter.org to see if you're a match! Juanita is a 4-year-old mixed breed sweetheart with a true comeback story. She made her way to us from Texas at the end of January in pretty rough shape, battling Heartworm and clearly having had a tough past. But with time, care, and love in her foster home, Juanita has absolutely blossomed into the wonderful dog she was always meant to be! Today, Juanita is thriving! She’s fully housebroken and can be trusted to free roam the home for several hours while you’re away. She enjoys getting out for walks and exploring the world at her own pace, but she’s just as happy curling up on the couch for some quiet cuddle time. Juanita also does well with her foster cat sibling. She can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but give her a little patience and kindness, and you’ll quickly see her affectionate, loving personality shine through. Her foster mom absolutely adores her! She has fostered many dogs for us, but about Juanita she says, "I just love her." It is hard not to fall for a dog that took some time to open up, and has done a full 180 right before your eyes! Here is what she had to share, "Juanita thinks I'm her best friend. It took her a few weeks to relax and get comfortable with me and then suddenly it was like someone flipped a switch and we became besties! Juanita loves going for walks, she will never say no to spending time walking around the neighborhood. As much as she likes a walk, she is also content on the couch or her dog bed binge watching Hawaii 5 O on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Juanita is one of those dogs who gives 'grateful to be alive and loved vibes'." Juanita is will be a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend! Juanita's adoption fee is $300. She is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. Juanita was treated for Heartworm. She will just need a quick retest at the adopter's vet 6-9 months post-treatment to make sure that she is Heartworm-free.

Story
The votes are IN and we ARE the WINNERS!! Found at the side of a country road (very common dumping ground, next to the railroad tracks), and saved by a wonderful "foster" and her husband and son and other doggy friends :) We started living like REAL loved puppies the day she saved us!! We are learning potty training and are crate trained experts!! We are leash training as well, but you have to understand.... we were never loved, never lived IN a home and NEVER had ANYONE CARE!!! So, potty trained or not, we are over the moon (and so is our foster mom). But now it is time to find our furever homes! We love and play very well together and would be ideal as a pair, but do NOT have to be adopted together. We need another calm and confident dog to keep us happy/played with and to teach us all we need to know about being loved pups :) We are gorgeous pups and our coats will accent your hair :) ADOPT...DON'T SHOP!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Sharkey is a sensitive soul with a big heart waiting for the right person to unlock it. This timid pup may take time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he’ll be your most loyal companion. He’s looking for a wonderful home where he can build confidence at his own pace. He does well with other pups and loves to play in water! He is also house trained, kennel trained, knows the command sit, and is willing to do anything for more treats! Adoption fee is $200

Rocket was found just down the street from our rescue — an area that is sadly known for dumped dogs. Despite that rough start, this handsome boy hasn’t let it dull his shine one bit! Rocket is a smart, loving, and active Heeler with all the classic Heeler tendencies. He’s alert, loyal, and always ready for his next adventure. Whether it’s exploring the yard, going for walks, or learning something new, Rocket is happiest when he has a job to do and his people by his side. He’s good with both people and other dogs, and he bonds closely with his humans. As a true Heeler, he thrives with structure, activity, and mental stimulation — he’s not just a dog, he’s a partner! Rocket is ready to blast off into his forever home with a family who understands his breed and will give him the love, guidance, and activity he needs to shine. Could Rocket be the missing piece to your pack? Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
