About

Meet Cheerio

Cheerio is an adorable, approx. 3 year-old pup whose name practically begs to be said with a British accent—but instead of saying “goodbye,” he’s saying a cheerful “hello” to Omaha! This sweet boy is friendly, great with other dogs, and absolutely loves to snuggle up beside you. Cheerio came from a shelter in Texas. This precious boy tested heartworm positive on arrival (it is NOT contagious). He’ll just need a calm, cozy environment while he completes his treatment -which will be included with the adoption-. With a little TLC, this smiley boy will bounce back in no time, and is sure to bring plenty of joy to his forever home!  The adoption fee for Cheerio is $450, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs.  We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped.  Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like any of our dogs, Cheerio would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that his breed needs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.

Adoption Process
Application process includes 3 unrelated personal references, a vet check, and a home visit. Applicants are matched up to a dog that matches their living situation and skill level. Adoption contract is signed after successful meet and greet. Adoption fees range from $250-450 depending on the dog's age.
