DROVER 💘 I've been waiting for my forever home. 🏡

Who wants a big lap dog who sleeps with a teddy bear🧸, loves attention and belly rubs?

🩵 Drover is a super sweet, loving & friendly guy, who is about 5 yrs old and weighs 62 lbs.
🏥 He’s neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
🧠 He is smart! Knows sit, shake, back, stay, outside, night night time & lay down.
💤 He sleeps thru the night and will nap when you do.
🪀⚾ Loves balls, toys and fun, durable chew toys.
💪 He is very strong.
🏡 He loves to play, so he wants a home with a fenced yard where he can run and burn off energy. *Sorry no apartments or rental homes for this guy.
👧👱 Did fine with an 8 yo girl that came up to him while on lead.
🐶 We think he'll do okay with another dog, with a proper introduction. He'd also be fine as your only best friend, so he can get all the attention!
😺 Not sure how he would do with cats but his prey drive is strong for outdoor critters. 🐿️
🤧 He does have allergies (maybe seasonal) that give him the sneezes and makes him itch.

🩺 He has slight symptoms of Horner's syndrome. It's a non-painful, common neurological disorder of the eye and facial muscles. It makes one of his eyes a little droopy, the other a little sunken and he has a bit of a head tilt but boy is he handsome! An MRI was performed with unremarkable results.

Please help spread the word about him and apply to meet him if you can give him a loving, forever home!

A little feel-good Friday from Earl. 💘

He is down to just one medication and pain pill when needed. He is doing amazing and doing his best to get back to his silly self but knows to take it easy and has been moving nice and slow. 💞

He is such a good boy. We know he's been through a lot and has a long recovery but pray for the best, always.

Keep it going sweet Earl! 💓

PEANUT 🥜💘 is a young male, Chihuahua-mix who has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) who greets every day with a happy tail wag!

He is a funny, little guy who loves toys, treats, playing with the other rescue dogs and doesn't mind cats. He has the cutest strut, loves to hop around and gets the zoomies sometimes. 😍

CH affects his balance, coordination, depth perception and gives him adorable, signature dance moves - 🎥 video in comments!🕺 Dogs with CH live long, healthy, normal lives just like any other dog, do not require medication and the good news is that it doesn't progressively worsen. CH dogs are smart and learn to make slight improvements as they adjust and adapt. 🧠

He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations/preventatives and potty trained. Peanut would do well in a home with other friendly dogs, cats, and respectful children or would do great being your only furry kid to receive all the attention!

About Peanut:
🐕 Male Chihuahua mix
🩺 Cerebellar Hypoplasia pup
🎉 Happy, cute, fun, excitable and wobbly
⚕️ Fully vetted & potty trained 🚽
🐶😺 Loves other dogs and cats
💙 He loves being inside, being outside...wherever the fun and love is.
🪜He is not good at maneuvering steps/stairs on his own.
🏡 Prefer someone who is home more often than not and a fenced yard would be great!

Peanut is a special little dog, seeking an equally special home. 😍 We are being extremely careful where he goes to make sure it fits his needs, safety, and lifestyle.

If you are interested in giving this special little guy, a very special home please complete a foster-to-adopt application:

Some of the Heartbeat4paws dogs may have special needs but they have no shortage of love to give! 💓

PHIL (FILL) YOUR ♥️ WITH LOVE!

We've had a couple of great applications for Phil but want to prioritize a perfect, long-term, furever-Foster match.

He may be a golden oldie but he's still spry and he's bigger at 70 lbs. We should have been more clear on his specific needs for a home with a fenced-in yard. He isn't a runner or anything but he does like to spend time wandering the yard, rolling in the grass and sniffing the wind at his leisure.😊

Phil is part of our Forever Foster program ~ Can you be his forever companion? 💞

This easy going, happy and healthy golden guy is a big sweetheart! 💓 He would be perfect with an older person or older couple who just wants to spend time with him and give him lots of love. At this stage in his life we don’t want to put him through any more changes therefore, we are seeking a permanent foster home. 🏡

Heartbeat4paws will provide what is needed to make sure he's well taken care of and if you live reasonably close to Franklin or Greenwood, IN., we can transport him to/from any vet visits at the Franklin Animal Clinic.

Phil is approx. 12yrs old. 🩵 He is hard of hearing and near-sighted but healthy and doing great in our care. He is a very good-natured boy and hasn't had one single potty accident inside! 😁 He will do well in a home where he is the only guy or one with another laid back, doggy friend. He's located in Greenwood, IN.

He just needs a quiet, safe, loving forever, foster home - someone who lives a calm life and is home more often than not. If this sounds like you and the timing is right, Heartbeat4paws would love to hear from you. Please complete an app.

Again, Heartbeat4paws will provide all of his needs - food, bedding, supplies...and will be happy to transport him to any vet appts. at the Franklin Animal Clinic.
