My story

We are excited to share that we have six adorable eight week old gorgeous puppies. Among them are three girls and three boys! These sweet and beautiful puppies are thriving in their foster homes.  Let us introduce Heimdall who is sharing his foster home with his littermate Freya. Their foster home has a rabbit, two cats, a long hair shepherd, a Jack Russell mix and a young boy. The dogs and kid are away on vacation, they're excited to see the pups as they head back home.  Heimdall is likely a long coat shepherd with his stocky body and fuzzier coat.  He's talkative, cuddly and super sweet who gets along with Freya exceptionally well. They are currently two peas in a pod, following their human in shepherd fashion, curious about everything. They love toys and typically play together. Their teeth are coming in which makes them grumbly at times and mouthy.  They adore cold carrots to take the edge off their incoming teeth.  Heimdall just like Freya has learned sit and off commands. Heimdall is big on playing and equally big on sharing his thoughts. He's the more easy going, submissive of this pairing although he's stealth in stealing any toy Freya chooses.  Both pups are easy to handle and are handled with full body exams after each outside visit to potty and play for any errant foxtails. They sleep together in a crate covered to give them a den feeling with access to the pen area which is helpful when eyes can't be on mischievous teething puppies.  All the puppies are quick to potty when taken outside, suggesting that they were well-cared for in their original home. They are not at the alerting stage yet. They also enjoy playing with toys, nibbling on human toes, and tugging on clothes for attention, followed by plenty of naps. Heimdall will thrive in an experienced forever home committed to environmental exposure to continue the excellent foundation he's receiving in his foster home, ongoing training, and structure shepherd puppies need to grow into neutral adult dogs.  Each of the puppies has received their first vaccinations, been dewormed, and are healthy, happy, and a bit chubby! Stay tuned for more updates! Have you checked out our YouTube channel? We would greatly appreciate your support by subscribing, liking, and commenting on the videos we share of our adoptable shepherds in action. You can also follow us on Instagram,  Facebook, and our newest Threads account, where we post plenty of news and updates about our shepherds. As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always in need of fosters. There are many shepherds in our local shelters who require our help for a fresh start. Would you be willing to open your home and share part of your life to help these dogs find new families? You provide the love, and we will provide everything else! Saying "yes" today truly saves a life. Complete this https://www.shepheroes.org/foster-form, and we will be in touch as soon as possible. We appreciate your consideration. ##2465702##

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