About Hayden

Hayden is a spirited 2-month-old puppy currently at our shelter. She arrived from southern Illinois with her mother and eight siblings in September. Unfortunately, they were left at animal control when the pups were only 4.5 weeks old, but Heartland quickly rescued them and provided a loving environment in our puppy suite. What sets Hayden apart from her littermates—besides being smaller—is her vibrant personality. She may be the little one, but she holds her own, always reminding her siblings who’s the boss! When she’s not busy reigning over her playmates, you’ll find her seeking out attention from humans. This sweet girl is eager to find her forever home, so don’t miss the chance to meet her. Hayden's adoption fee is $450. She is spayed and has received age-appropriate core vaccinations. Please note that she will require a rabies vaccine at 4 months and a Heartworm test between 6-7 months at her vet's office. As a puppy, she will need guidance with housebreaking and positive reinforcement training. Your new best friend is just one click away.
