Heartland German Shepherd Rescue

We are a small, local, breed-specific non-profit rescue. We rescue abused/abandoned/neglected German Shepherd dogs, rehabilitate them and place them in permanent homes. We do not have a facility: dogs are housed in approved foster homes until they find their permanent home.

Meet Tootles. Nka Benny *PENDING*

We rescued Tootles and four other "Lost Boys" from a commercial breeding situation. All 5 miniature Poodles and Yorkies are very sweet, a little shy, and so smart. They have all been learning about indoor life, how to go up and down stairs, potty training, and living with loving foster families. There have been lots of "firsts" for these pups like being groomed, going for walks, getting a pup cup, and they have been thriving and loving their new lives! Tootles (Toots for short) is the definition of a companion dog! At 6.8 pounds, this little guy is so adorable and will gladly be held, especially if you let him rest his head on your shoulder. He’s a little shadow who loves to snuggle! He has an adorable little heart shaped patch of white fur on his lower back. Timid at first, he’s been slowly gaining confidence around his foster fur siblings. He enjoys being outside and running around. He will eagerly engage in play with his smaller foster fur sibling. He’s quiet but you may hear a little bark during play time. He’s been doing well in his foster home around younger children (ages 4 and under) but we think he would really thrive in a home that is a little quieter with less sudden load noises. If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy, Tootles is your guy! The adoption fee for Tootles' 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, Tootles 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.
