Dozer is a Beagle/ Boxer Mix. He is approx. 1 1/2 yrs. old as of Nov. 2009. He's a very friendly fellow, who was lost and wondering the streets, when a wonderful family took him in to care for him. They brought him to HART and like most of these sweet dogs, he is just waiting for his forever home. He came in with his tail docked. He does walk well on a leash. He is approx. 45 lbs and 18 1/2 inches tall as of 4-30-09. He is up-to-date on all shots, will be neutered before leaving and is already on heartworm prevention. He does enjoy playing around, and has the time of his life. He's not overly hyper, but he does have some energy. He's very good on his leash and he is very good around people. Like the rest of the dogs at HART, he's just wanting a home.
Below is a poem (with a pic) that was written by one of our few HART Volunteers, Sharon Parker.
All puppies and dogs 12 weeks and over will be spayed or neutered before leaving the kennel. If you do not agree with spaying and neutering of dog or puppy please do not submit an application. You must be in agreement with the spaying and neutering policies of HART Foundation in order to be able to adopt a dog.
Spaying and neutering of puppies that are over twelve weeks of age can be done through HART Foundation’s vet at a very reasonable charge. It must be scheduled through HART Foundation at twelve weeks of age. You must make arrangements with Amy at HART Foundation in order to schedule spaying/neutering.
Various Information
We are in need of volunteers. No matter how old or young, we can use volunteers for many different tasks at the rescue. From walking dogs, washing kennels, washing feed buckets/water pails, feeding dogs, and many other various chores at the kennel. The biggest thing needed is time spent with the dogs. Even if you only have 30 minutes to spend, if you could come out and just sit with a dog for 30 minutes. Just to help socialize and make them better pets. They can never have to much human handling. Even if they are already very socialized they love any and all attention given.
If you are interested in one of the dogs available for adoption, please be sure to email us your application (which can be found on our website), and then we will review over your application and get back with you .
We do adopt out of state! You can pick up your new best friend, or we can provide you with information on getting your pal hand delivered to anywhere in the continental 48 states for an additonal fee. (We do not ship, because of too much stress being placed on the animal.)
Now you can donate funds to H.A.R.T. over the web through our new Paypal account! Thanks to all who have donated of their time, items needed, and funds to help out with vet visits, spay/neuter, heartworm treatments, food, etc.!

Adopting a friend
In order to adopt a Puppy or Dog from HART we require that an adoption application be filled out and sent to us. You can get the application from our website, or email us and we can email you one. Once we recieve the application Amy will review over it as soon as possible, and then we will be in contact with you to let you know whether you are approved or not. If you are approved we will then let you set up a time that is convenient for you as well as Amy, and you'll be allowed to come look at the pup/dog your interested in adoption.
Adoption fees vary for each pet. Upon decision to adopt a dog, you will be required to sign an adoption contract, if adopting a pup you will be required to agree to the spaying/neutering of the pup once it's of age.
