Our Featured Pets:

Aibe!


Aibe is a 6 year old handsome Beagle mix. He came from Kentucky to find his forever family here at Heartland. He has a lot of love to offer. Aibe is new to Heartland, so we will update his profile when we get to know him better. Adopting a mature pet has many benefits. Please come and meet this handsome boy today. You will be glad you did! Aibe's adoption fee is $150 which covers up-to-date vaccines, dewormings, microchip, heartworm test and neuter.

Our organization offers 24PetWatch microchips, which include free registration into the 24PetWatch pet recovery service. For more information visit www.24petwatch.com or call 1-866-597-2424.

This pet also is eligible for 30 days of pre-paid ShelterCare pet health insurance. For more information please visit www.sheltercare.com or call 1-866-375-PETS.

Sinbad




Sinbad had some bad luck in his life. When his former owners` home went into foreclosure, they moved and he was left behind! His good luck is that he eventually came to Heartland and has a chance to start over.

What a great cat! Sinbad is a happy-go-lucky black cat that is 5-1/2 years old as of February 2009. He is very friendly, loving, and gives kisses and affectionate head butts. He is very gentle and relaxed and, therefore, is easy to handle. Sinbad does not mind being held and he is a GREAT LAP CAT, as well. Sinbad is very playful and loves to bat a mouse around. He also likes balls and anything that dangles from your coat.

He would be a joy to have as a pet. We hope that Sinbad will soon find his dream person or family who will love and keep him forever!
