HEIDI

My story

Name: Heidi Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 10 year old Best Guess for Breed: Elkhound Mix Weight: About 30 lbs Lives With: Dogs, cats and people! Housebroken? Yes - she’s housebroken. Story: Heidi was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Heidi is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies, and even cats. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Heidi is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Heidi will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Heidi has only been with us for a few nights and she’s doing great. She does well in the crate over night - settles down and goes to sleep. She gives cues when she needs to go potty outside. She loves her people, and is usually following David or I around if we’re moving around the house. She likes to do a regular circuit around the house checking everything out. She’s done great with the cats. Usually ignores, but occasionally calmly walks over to check them out. Gaston has expressed his unhappiness with her presence by hissing, but she still managed to convince him to touch noses when passing on the stairs earlier. Overall she’s pretty chill. Likes checking things out and then getting her nap time in. We’ve had friends over and she happily greeted each of our guests. She’s a good girl and great for a first time dog adopter! The fee to adopt Heidi is $350. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, her spay, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If you think that Heidi might be your perfect match, apply today!June 15, 2025, 8:44 pm
