Story

Meet Cruize ❤️ Cruize is a sweet, loving dog who recently lost his owner and is now looking for a new forever home. He has a gentle, kind heart and bonds deeply with those who care for him. Cruize is a high-energy breed, so he would thrive in a home with room to run and play. He may feel some anxiety and grief as he adjusts to this big change, so he’ll need someone patient and understanding who is willing to work with him. In return, Cruize will give endless love, loyalty, and companionship to the right family.

Story

🌸 Meet Lilly – Your New Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Queen! 🌸 Hey there, I’m Lilly! I made the big journey from Texas to Heartland in search of one thing: my forever family. Could that be you? I’m a spirited 2.5-year-old gal with energy to spare and love to give! Whether you're into hiking, walking, playing fetch, or just exploring the world one backyard at a time — count me in! I'm always ready for an adventure, especially if it ends with snacks and belly rubs. I adore humans of all ages, and I get along with other doggos too. Cats? Haven’t met one yet, but I’m open-minded and always willing to make new friends! Once we’ve conquered the day, I’m the ultimate snuggle bug — think warm blanket, wagging tail, and sleepy eyes on your lap. Bonus? I’m house trained, so no indoor surprises! If you're looking for a joyful, loyal, and affectionate companion who’s up for both playtime and cuddle time, then we might just be a perfect match. 💕 📞 Call Heartland today to set up a meet and greet — I’ll be wagging my tail waiting!

Story

🐾 Meet June – Your Next Adventure Buddy! 🐾 Hi there! I’m June, and I came to Heartland with my sister July—two beautiful girls with hearts full of love and tails that never stop wagging! We’re both about a year old and already house trained (yep, we know how to be polite roommates—bonus points for us!). I may be easy on the eyes, but trust me—my personality is just as lovely. I’ve got plenty of energy and would make an awesome partner for walks, hikes, or a good game of fetch. Got an adventure in mind? I’m in. I get along well with other dogs and absolutely love people. I haven’t met a cat yet, but hey—life’s full of new experiences, and I’m always up for a fun introduction. If you're searching for a sweet, playful, and loyal girl to brighten your days, look no further. Give Heartland a call to set up a meet and greet—I’ll be here, waiting with tail wags and a happy heart.

Willow

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Piedmont, SD

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Willow is truly one of the most incredible dogs you'll ever meet. She adores people and lives to give and receive love - if she could spend all day by your side, she would! She is goofy, affectionate, and smart, with a silly personality that will keep you smiling. Willow has typical pittie energy, she can be all zoomies and long hikes, but is just as happy to be a couch potato all day. She loves interactive toys and tug of war. Willow is up to date on all vaccinations. She is potty trained, kennel trained, and knows basic commands. She is currently being muzzle trained. She is very smart and eager to please, so training can be easy with this girl. Willow needs to be in a home where she is the only dog. It is unknown if she has been around small children. Willow requires someone who understands the responsibility of homing a pittie, and is familiar with the patience it takes with rescue dogs. She is incredible with humans and has so much love to offer.
