Heartland Pet Rescue

I told all my volunteers that I think we could get to 3000 followers by the end of June. They said there is no way that’s even remotely possible, but I told that I think it can happen. Please share and invite all your friends on your friends list to follow us. We are the only large Dog Rescue other than the Humane Society that are taking in the large breed animals. Please help us find new homes for our dogs.

Foster based pet rescue. We take in owner surrenders, and strays.

🎉🐾 GHOST HAS FOUND HIS FOREVER HOME! 🐾🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special Gotcha Day for Ghost! ❤️

This handsome boy has officially been adopted and is beginning his next chapter with a wonderful family. Seeing happy faces like these reminds us why we do what we do. There is nothing better than watching a rescue dog find the love, security, and forever family they deserve.

Thank you to Ghost’s new family for opening your hearts and home to this amazing dog. We wish you many years of love, adventures, and happy memories together!

At Heartland Pet Rescue, every adoption is a victory—not just for the dog, but for the family whose lives are forever changed by unconditional love.

🏡 Looking for your own forever friend?
Heartland Pet Rescue has many wonderful dogs waiting for loving homes.

📞 Please call Dennis at 863-214-6690 for information about available dogs, to schedule a meet-and-greet, or to find your perfect companion.

Congratulations, Ghost! We couldn’t be happier for you! ❤️

There’s nothing quite like seeing a rescue dog realize they’re finally home. ❤️

Just a few hours after leaving our adoption event, Moana’s new family shared these precious photos with us, and our hearts absolutely melted.

Look at that sweet little one wrapped around Moana, already best friends. No fear. No hesitation. Just trust, comfort, and love. In one photo they’re watching the world together from the window, and in another they’re snuggled up side by side, as if they’ve known each other forever.

These moments are exactly why we do what we do.

Every adoption is special, but seeing a child and a dog form an instant bond is something truly magical. Moana may have found a family today, but it looks like this child found their best friend too.

Thank you to Moana’s wonderful family for opening your hearts and giving this beautiful girl the loving home she deserves. We have a feeling there are many adventures, cuddles, and memories ahead for these two.

Happy Gotcha Day, Moana! We couldn’t be happier for you. 🐾💕🏡

🐾❤️ What a day! ❤️🐾

The ride home from today’s adoption event at Tractor Supply in Lake Placid looks a lot different than the ride there!

In this video, Dennis is heading back home with the dogs. One sweet pup is sound asleep in the passenger seat, while the others are stretched out in the back, completely exhausted after a busy day of meeting new friends and soaking up lots of love and attention.

We are thrilled to share that 4 dogs found their forever homes today! Three of those adoptions happened within the first 30 minutes of the event. What an incredible start to the day!

A huge THANK YOU to:
❤️ Our amazing Heartland Pet Rescue volunteers who gave their time and energy.
❤️ Tractor Supply in Lake Placid for hosting us.
❤️ Everyone who stopped by to visit the dogs.
❤️ Those who made cash donations to help us continue our rescue efforts.
❤️ And most of all, the wonderful families who opened their hearts and adopted today.

Many people told us they couldn’t make the event but were interested in meeting some of our dogs. Good news—many wonderful dogs are still available! If you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet, please call Dennis.

📞 Dennis: 863-214-6690

The dogs may be tired tonight, but their tails were wagging all day long. Thank you, Lake Placid and the surrounding community, for supporting rescue dogs and helping us change lives—one adoption at a time.🐾🐾
