Meet Mozzarella. New name: Bear *PENDING*

Mozzarella is one of Bianca's ten puppies. Bianca is two and half year old white German Shepherd that was rescued when she was heavily pregnant. Luckily for her she was able to give birth to her 10 puppies in the comfort of her foster home. Bianca gave birth on July 31, 2024 to ten puppies: six boys (Mozarella, Gouda, Cheddar, Asiago, Feta, and Cheesestick) and four girls (Raspberry, Blueberry, Clementine, and Kiwi). Bianca and all ten of her puppies have been thriving in their foster home. We are currently taking applications for her puppies! Mozzarella is pretty chill for a puppy. He is a big boy who loves playing with his siblings! The adoption fee for Bianca's puppies is $450, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped.  Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like all GSDs, and other herding breeds and mixes, Bianca's puppies will need positive reinforcement training, consistency, boundaries, activity and socialization. Bianca's puppies' ideal homes will be households with good routines, prior GSD (or similar herding breed) experience, and a friendly doggy sibling to help teach them the ropes. Like any of our dogs, sweet Bianca's puppies will make a great addition to active homes that will provide the love, structure, activity and mental stimulation that their breed requires. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.

Adoption Process
Application process includes 3 unrelated personal references, a vet check, and a home visit. Applicants are matched up to a dog that matches their living situation and skill level. Adoption contract is signed after successful meet and greet. Adoption fees range from $250-450 depending on the dog's age.
