Built in the 1990's, the St. Tristan's Cancer Center tended to patients in the Heartland area but was shut down in 2000 for structural problems. Within weeks, the Kuvar Pack made it their home. Abandoned equipment, beds and other furniture give the pack plenty of places to sleep and hide if humans come poking around. The dogs found here are the more aggressive of the stray packs in Heartland and should be approached with great caution.

A collapsing Victorian-style house, 102 Mulberry Street is one the oldest houses in Heartland. Because of this, the humans don't bother to knock it down but don't bother to fix it up. Located in a quiet, mostly deserted neighborhood, the house provides the perfect gathering place for the housepets of Heartland. There's almost always one housepet or another lingering around the house, checking for news and keeping a wary eye on stray activity. This pack is a non-existent threat but tries to assert itself by setting up a barking chain to call important meetings when the strays act suspicious.

To break up the concrete jungle that is Heartland, the city created a large park about five years ago complete with a small pond, winding sidewalks, two playgrounds and benches under shady oaks. The playground is very popular with humans and their pets but is also a good hang out for strays. A well cleaned stray can usually lounge in the sun without being bothered by humans or dog catchers or, for the rare stray that likes humans, they might get to play with a few human pups.

Family owned since 1989, Oscar's Diner is a popular eatery for humans and dogs alike. Backed up to a vacant lot, Oscar's leaves its garbage vulnerable to local strays in need of a quick meal. Since the owners are the rare sort of human that tolerates dogs fairly well, strays can usually get a bite without too much trouble if they keep the noise down. The downside however, the diner is frequented by dog catchers on their lunch break.

One of the oldest places in Heartland, the graveyard is quiet and secluded. A few old trees dot the landscape but most of it is dominated by headstones, old and new, covering most of the area. The rumor is the graveyard was first used during the Civil War but, since Heartland wasn't even founded then, not many people believe it. Dogs can come here to avoid humans since no one usually bothers them here. At night the place is deserted making it a safe place to sleep, even though few dogs brave the creepy place at night.

A few blocks down from Martin Memorial Park is a fenced in dog park complete with obstetrical course where pet owners bring their pups to play. Housepets do most of their socializing here but also tend to be mocked by the occasional stray. Sadly the park is also a popular dumping ground for puppies and grown dogs. Dogs left here until after dark are rounded up and carted off to the pound.

About three years ago, tons of rain caused the Thunder River to flood and caused a massive landslide from Grey Mountain/Eagle Peak. In addition to crippling the wolf packs, it created a landslide. The boulders, ripped up trees and other debris filled in a deep ravine near Blue Heron Lake creating a hill of boulders. The ravine is unsafe because the boulders could shift at any time and crush a dog with ease.

Well outside of Heartland is a large junkyard full of everything from old mattresses to broken dishwashers. The garbage of humans turns into the treasures of strays making this a common hunting ground and shelter for Heartland's strays. Occasionally a wolf or coyote will also wander in to stir things up, rummaging through the garbage when they are truly desperate for food or shelter. The landfill is roomy enough for canines to live here for months and not cross paths but is also quite dangerous when something gives way and sends a pile of trash tumbling.

Near the entrance of the Grey Mountain Park is a large pond surrounded by mossy old oak trees and almost always covered in green algae. The canines all adopted the nickname "Moss Pond" for the place and it is a neutral spot. No one fights or hunts here, obeying laws as old as canine-kind. There is almost always someone hanging around the pond, often loners looking for a touch of company or lonesome bachelors with their eyes open for a pretty lady.

Roughly five miles outside of Heartland is where the Grey Mountain National Park begins. Where the park begins also begins the territory of the Thunder River Pack, a relatively neutral pack of wolves that live along the banks of the large river. Their territory is mostly woodland and they claim hunting rights fairly far down the river in both directions, a constant annoyance to the Eagle Peak Pack.
