Story
Luna 4 years old • 30 lbs Terrier / Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) Luna is a sweet, easygoing girl with a friendly, social nature. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, kids, and both male and female adults, making her a great fit for a wide variety of homes. Foster reports she doesn't shed and is easy to groom! She is potty trained and enjoys being part of daily life with her people. Luna has a nice balance of calm companionship and playful curiosity—happy to join in when it’s time to be active, and just as content to relax and hang out nearby. At 4 years old, Luna is past the puppy chaos and ready to be a steady, loving companion. She’s an excellent choice for a family or individual looking for a well-mannered dog who already has good habits and an affectionate personality. Breed mix is a best guess based on appearance; we cannot guarantee breed makeup. ✨ All Heart of America Humane Society dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations. If you have other dogs in your home, we require that they meet our dog prior to adoption. 💲 Adoption fee: $225 📍 Once you apply, the foster will contact you to schedule a meet and greet. 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HAUS/Dog

Story
Have ya met Crenshaw? Well I have and I am obsessed!! This boy is so, so smart! He learns quickly what pleases his people and is happy to oblige them! He is very attentive when it comes to his people! He knows where they are at all times and makes sure they are safe! He plays very gently with smaller dogs and puppies and likes to keep the order! He definitely sees himself as the adult in the room. He seems to prefer smaller dogs but would do fine with a confident bigger dog. Always alert and aware, Crenshaw has your back. He listens and pays attention to everything you do and say. He's great on a leash and loves to walk. But, he's not without his quirks. He takes a bit of time to trust new prople and new situations. His fosters have been working on his "stranger danger" and he's doing much better at meeting new people, but his adopter should expect to continue his socialization. He also does not do well in a crate. After weeks of working on it, he really wants to be close to his people. He might not make a great apartment dog as he does cry and whine in his crate when no one is home, but does settle down after a bit. One of his fosters found crating him in their room at night helped. His current foster just leaves him uncontained at night and he does great , sleeping all night on the floor next to her. Crenshaw is an amazing boy, but will require an owner who is a good leader who can set boundaries. He will also need both physical exercise and mental exercise. He loves training time as much as he loves walks!!

Story
Please read bio before applying! Meet Merlin. This young man has had a rough go of it at just 1 year old. Merlin came to us as a commercial breeder release and when we got him at 6 months old, he had never been handled by humans. As a result, he is very distrusting of humans and requires a lot of patience and time to adjust to new people. Merlin is very dog friendly and because he is more comfortable with dogs than humans, we are requiring that he go to a home with at least one other canine. This will help set him up for success. He will also need a home with a secure fenced in yard, as he can be a bit of a flight risk, and he will need a home with no small children. Merlin has the potential to be an amazing companion, he just needs someone who will give him the time he needs to adjust

Story
Marcus was born April 29, 2024. Both of his siblings came out with bright blue eyes like his. He is Australian Shepherd, Pit Bull Terrier, and Labrador Retriever. He weighs 50lbs, and is about knee height. A bit of a shorty, but lean, dense and very athletic with a touch of clumsiness (but he doesn’t like to be laughed at). We adopted him from a foster on July 19, 2024. He came potty trained at 3 months old… He’s spunky, energetic, and loves attention. Very protective of his person. He has attitude and can be ornery, but he is wicked smart and learns quickly. Someone who is consistent, experienced, and maintains good boundaries; offers love as reward would be perfect. He gets along very well woth other dogs, and we always thought that he’d do really well with a furry friend at home. He’s never been exposed to cats, but we bet he’d adapt. He has a sensitive tummy and can be gassy. He has never had much human food. Lovable dog; the epitome of tough onthe outside, soft on the inside.
