Some things you should know when working with us:

To become a Placement Partner with HEART you must complete the Placement Partner Application and agree to the Placement Partner Guidelines. Please contact info@heartofthemidlands.org to complete the process. Animals on this list are only available to 501(c)(3) Placement Partners with the HEART Program.
Not all animals listed on this email are available TODAY! Please note the "FINAL DAY AVAILABLE" indicating when their time is up. Following your confirmation of each animal you will be notified when they are available to be picked up. You will have 24 hours from time of confirmation to pick up the animals at the shelters.
Please reply to this email address to confirm animals you wish to pull. When you reply to confirm animals, please include your email address, what rescue you work with and a contact phone number along with the animal ID#.
Dogs are not heartworm tested until a rescue confirms them (unless otherwise noted). If you CANNOT take a HW+ animal, please mention it when you confirm. If heartworm status is not acceptable once it is determined you may decline to take the dog.
We CANNOT guarantee the health or behavior of an animal. The animals have not been examined by a veterinarian unless otherwise noted.
Please note following a commitment to a specific animal that animal must be picked up at the designated shelter within 24 hours.
Pull fees MUST be paid to HEART at the time of confirming the animal, and at the absolute latest, when the animal is picked up from their shelter. We do not have the capability to invoice- sorry!
You must arrange your own transport!

Please be patient with us. Currently we have a very small staff dedicated to the rescue placement process and they visit each shelter daily. So a good deal of their time is spent in the field. They sift through many emails and calls every day. They will respond to your inquiry, but it may be a brief exchange and may not be immediate. Thank you for understanding!

3/20/17: Updates and new animal added

3/17/17: Updated and new animals added

Original email sent out: 3/13/17

These animals are located at Iredell County Animal Services in Statesville, NC!

At this time, Iredell County Animal Services does NOT have transport “connections” so it will be UP TO THE RESCUE wanting to pull the animal to coordinate transport!

If there is an animal listed that you are interested in pulling or have questions about please email Tina at rescuepets@co.iredell.nc.us and please provide the animals name (and/or Animal ID#), your name and the rescue group you are affiliated with! If you have not pulled from ICAS before please fill out Rescue Group Agreement (Breed Placement Package) that is attached.

We now offer health certificates for animals pulled from ICAS by the destination shelter/rescue/home for a $6 fee per animal on the health certificate. If an animal is being pulled by a rescue for another rescue we will not be able to do a health certificate. The final rescue/home must be the one to “pull” the dog. If the pulling rescue is new you MUST submit the Breed Placement Package BEFORE any hold or transport will be planned!

LAST DAY!!!!

*** RUNNING OUT OF TIME ***

Notes from his evaluation with a trainer:

A prong collar was used to walk J.C. from the kennel and outside. He responded VERY well to correction. He seemed as though he has never had boundaries established before. He is a very sweet boy, and listens well after a relationship is built, and he is dominated. He is very confident in himself, but not overly so. The trainer did restrain J.C. and he did react by trying to grab at her jacket and the leash. She corrected him, and then restrained him again, and he tolerated the restraint with no problem. He will just need a firm hand, and some proper training. He was dog tested with Leanne, a female dog of slightly smaller size. He approached Leanne with good manners, and was interested in playing with her. Would recommend rescue so that his restraint issue can be resolved.

JC (A214075) was surrendered to the shelter by his owner. They stated that he is too big. The owner got JC from a pet store and has owned him for 2 years. The owner stated JC lived inside and was house trained. They also stated that JC was ok with children, but we have noticed while he has been at the shelter that he will buck up to see what he can get away with when he is not wanting to do something. He also does not like restrained therefore we would not recommend him in a home with children. In July 2015 JC tested negative for heartworms, due to him not doing well with restraint we have not yet heartworm tested him. We think that with a firm, consistent owner who is willing to do some training that JC could be a great dog. We also feel that him being neutered will make a big difference. JV is a blue brindle like color, he has whisker like fur on his face and paws. We think it is possible that JC is a Greyhound/Schnauzer blend as he weighs about 40 lbs.

Needs to be CLAIMED and OUT OF THE SHELTER by NOON on: 3/20/17

Kodak (A206654) was surrendered to the shelter because they could not properly care for him. Kodak has demodex (non-contagious mange). This boy has so much personality and is just full of himself! We have started him on Bravecto (which has been shown to help the symptoms of demodex) and his fur seems to be coming in nicely! Kodak was dog tested and was sweet tempered and playful, although he is in need of some leash work (which we have been working on). Kodak loves to play and loves attention. This guy is all-around super happy and fun! Silly Kodak is right over a year young, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and full grown at almost 51 lbs.

Intake date: 3/6/17

Needs to be CLAIMED and OUT OF THE SHELTER by NOON on: 3/24/17

Kipper (A214125) is a 1 year old Treeing Walker Hound that was surrendered to the shelter by his owner. Our Officer received a complaint about a dog that is always loose and was chasing chicken. They stated their they got the dog for their daughter, but he would bolt out of the house. They also stated that he showed signs of separation anxiety (was not crated) when left in the home alone all day. Kipper was terrified when he got to the shelter, he would sit balled up and just tremble. During his exam he did do a low growl during the restraint, but never offered to bite. Due to being so nervous we decided the best route was rescue for this handsome boy. Kipper likes to be petted on, but still trembles while in his kennel. Kipper walks ok on a leash and was dog tested with a female of slightly smaller height. He approached her politely then walked away. He was very well mannered. Kipper is full grown weighing 46.2 lbs and is heartworm negative. This boy needs to build some confidence. He showed a lot of interest in cats, so we would recommend placement with no cats (or chickens).

Intake date: 3/3/17

Needs to be CLAIMED and OUT OF THE SHELTER by NOON on: 3/24/17

Piper (A214297) is an 11 month old Pointer/Lab blend that was surrendered to the shelter. We 1st became aware of Piper when there was a complaint about her running loose. Our owner spoke to the owner about direct control and gave the dog a rabies vaccine. The next day the owner stated that they noticed a large wound on Piper's belly and could not afford to take her to the vet for treatment and surrendered her to us. Piper appeared to be in heat or just coming out of heat. Our vet cleaned and sutured her up, she also spayed her while she had her under. The wound is healing very well and Piper doesn't seemed phased by her injury. Piper was dog tested with a female dog of smaller size and was very playful with the "helper dog". She seemed very excited to be around another dog. She was submissive and did great! Piper is also heartworm negative. She weighs about 50 lbs.

Baby (A205519) is a 2 year old Pit Bull who has not had a consistent home life. She was originally surrendered to the shelter in May 2016. They stated they had owned Baby for 7-8 months, they got her from the previous owners. They were surrendered to the shelter because she was not doing well with the other dogs in the home. We dog tested her with another female dog and she did well and was playful with her. Baby was then adopted. Baby was then surrendered to the shelter March 2017. They stated they had her for 4-5 moths and they stated that Baby would play too rough with their 2 year old and snapped at him. They had gotten Baby from the previous adopters who had rehomed Baby because she did not get along with her other dogs (2 intact males, an intact and a spayed female). It seemed that Baby become overstimulated while playing with dogs and kids and becomes too rough. In her last home Baby was an inside dog and was house broken. We had a trainer come out and evaluated Baby. She stated that Baby does not seem overly confident in herself and constantly seeks reassurance from people. Baby did very well with a prong collar and only needed very minimal correction and responded immediately. She was dog tested with a female dog of slightly smaller size. As soon as Baby saw the "helper dog", she became defensive, but not offensively aggressive. She did sniff the "helper dog" from behind, and then backed away passively. The trainer feels as though Baby may have been consistently jumped by another dog. She was very leery of another dog approaching her from behind, and seemed to panic even though the "helper dog" only wanted to play. She had more fear than actual aggression. The trainer thinks that Baby needs work with her fears. Baby has shown to be gentle and sweet, but also terrified here at the shelter.

**Once a rescue commits to pulling a dog(s), they have 2 business days to arrange transport to pick the dog(s) up from the shelter unless otherwise arranged with the rescue coordinator. The hours for the shelter are Mon-Fri 10:30am-5:00 pm & Saturday 10am-2pm. If the rescue does not correspond with the rescue coordinator for 48 hours post commitment, the dog(s) will be offered to other rescues.**

If you're thinking of re-homing or giving up your animal, please take into
consideration the amount of homeless and abandoned animals there
currently are & seek out ways to get help via an animal
trainer/behaviorist. Many rescues & shelters are full to capacity with
companion animals looking for a place to call their own.
