Hayden - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Hayden is at our shelter. Please submit an application from our website or just come in to meet her during open hours!

2-month-old Hayden arrived from southern Illinois with her mom and eight siblings at the start of September! They were sadly dumped at the local animal control when the pups were about 4.5 weeks old, and Heartland quickly scooped them up and brought them to our puppy suite!

Hayden is the odd gal out in her litter, not only does she not look like them, but she is also much smaller than the rest of her siblings! Despite being much smaller than her siblings, this girl has spunk and is always letting her siblings know who is in charge! When she isn't busy letting her siblings know who is in charge, she is busy making sure she is the center of any human's attention. This little gal is sure to be adopted quick, so don't miss your chance to meet her!

Hayden's adoption fee is $450. This animal is spayed, and is up to date on core vaccines appropriate for their age.

They will need a rabies vaccine at 4 months of age and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months of age at the adopter's own vet.

Since she is a puppy, any adopter should anticipate needing to work on housebreaking and other training using positive reinforcement training only.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
