My story

Hi there! I’m Esme, a 1-year-old Great Dane/Lab mix with long legs, a big heart, and energy for days. I came to Heartland to wait for my forever family to come scoop me up! I’m a sweet, playful girl who’s always ready for action. Got an active lifestyle? Perfect. I’m your built-in adventure buddy. Walks? Yes! Hikes? Absolutely! Exploring the great outdoors? Let’s go! I love people of all ages and am happiest when I’m part of the fun. I also get along well with other dogs, so I’d be happy to have a canine sibling. Cats, though? Let’s just say we respectfully prefer separate friend groups. 🐱🚫 I am currently at the PAWS training program here in Yankton where I am learning my manners and commands. Full disclosure: I’m partially house trained and still polishing up my skills. I’m smart and eager to please, and with a little patience, encouragement, and a consistent routine, I’ll have it mastered in no time. I promise I’m trying! If you’re looking for: 💛 A high-energy sidekick 🐾 A playful, affectionate companion 🌟 A gorgeous girl who turns heads 🏃‍♀️ A partner for all your adventures …then I just might be your perfect match. Give Heartland a call to set up a meet and greet with me. I’ll be ready — probably wiggling. 💕

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Esme, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
