Story
Meet our sweet Abril!    Abril is wonderful companion for any owner who is looking to add a single dog to their home. Abril seeks out pets, play time and love. She's a great leaner while you shower her with pets and lovins. Abril will impress you with her devotion and love. Our sweet Abril does require a home where she is the only dog, and definitely no cats. Despite how sweet she is, she is not a fan of other furry siblings. A secured fence is best as well.  Abril will ask that you help her with her fear of loud noises and fireworks, and in exchange she'll shower you with love and devotion.  You won't be disappointed when you fill out your application for this wonderful girl. Can you help heal her broken heart? Abril is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative and microchipped.  If you are interested in Abril, please email dogs@heartlandsmallanimalrescue.org or you can access an online application at www.heartlandsmallanimalrescue.org/canine-application.html ##55138##

Vinny is a 1 yr old mixed breed dog.   Vinny  has a strong personality... He is a love bug and loves to get all the loving.  He gets along with the other dogs but seems to be protective of his person.  A home with a lot of kids coming and going would over stimulate him.  Vinny wants to be a good boy and needs his person to guide him.   If you are looking for an active dog that will devote himself to you, please come and meet Vinny.   If you are viewing this pet's profile on Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet,.please use the application link at the bottom of the profile to apply.

You can call me Frosty! I'm a 1yr old Standard Poodle. I've got the whole bathroom thing down and crate skills too! I'm crazy about everyone, including tiny humans! I've got no issues with cats whatsoever. Dogs are my jam and I'd love a sibling or two to join the dog-loving fun! I'm also a sucker for any kinds of toys or snackies.
