Jacob's Story

This German Shepherd mix is the perfect combination of puppy and chill. Jacob is 5 months old and currently weighs 23 lbs. He loves to play with people or other dogs - and has discovered how great walks are now that he is fully vaccinated! He is doing a great job of walking nicely on a leash and looks forward to his evening jaunts. He's great with dogs, even big ones, and great with kids. He's a bit interested in cats so he would probably do best in a home without any. He loves playing and getting pets and is incredibly smart! He is learning sit and down right now - and is highly food motivated which makes him a great dog to train! Jacob is both crate trained and house trained (but he may have an accident or two as he teaches you how he communicates that it is time to go outside!) He knows "crate" and goes straight into when it is time for a meal or time for bed. Sleeping through the night for 8-9 hours, Jacob is the perfect dog for anyone looking for a companion!<br/><br/>*Please note, he is a puppy and requires a lot of training.<br/><br/>Adoption fee covers the cost of all vaccines, spay/neuter, microchip, dewormer, and preventative meds.

Happy Hearts Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
1. Adopters fill out an Adoption Application. 2. HHDR will review the Application, check your references and speak with your Vet. NOTE: Adoption Application approval times vary, but we strive to approve applications with 72 hours. 3. Once your Application is approved, we’ll set up a meet ‘n’ greet and a home check (Post COVID-19: Home checks are performed virtually). 4. If the meet n greet goes well, then your potential new furry family member will come over for a play date. 5. Adoptions will require a three day trial visit before finalizing. 6. If all goes well and your adoption is approved, we will send you an Adoption Agreement for your review. 7. You’ll sign and return a copy of the Adoption Agreement along with the adoption fees. Your Adoption Agreement will include a customized list of the any remaining vaccinations and spay/neuter needed along with the time table in which you are required to get them. Once everything is in place, your new dog’s foster family will coordinate with you to get your new family member! * We do require all dogs in the Adopter/Foster’s home to be up to date on vaccines, current on heartworm prevention, and must be fixed. ** You must provide proof of heartworm preventative being purchased within the past 6 months to one year. We will not adopt to a home that can not provide proof their dogs takes monthly heartworm prevention. *** Young puppies that are not fully vaccinated must remain “paws off the ground” in public places (apartment complexes, dog parks, neighborhood walks) until 7 days after their final round of vaccines. **** If a dog is not fully vaccinated and they have not been fixed yet, HHDR will only allow a local adoption.
