Applications are considered with the best interests of the animals in mind and should not be construed as a reflection on the applicant. Heartland Animal Shelter reserves the right to approve or deny adoption applications for any reason.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming number of adoption applications we have been receiving during the COVID-19 pandemic, our adoption processes have changed. To adopt a dog, please fill out the application below and wait to be contacted. At this time, there is a waiting list to adopt small dogs and puppies but submitting your application will place you on the list so that our dog program manager can match you with a dog as soon as possible. Thank you!
