My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Heidi is a 2 1/2 yr old American Eskimo who adores attention and sharing a lap with lots of petting. Heidi is a tripod but you would never know it the way she runs up and down stairs like any 4-legged dogs. Her story: she had been treated for a broken leg but the owners did not properly care for her so the leg had to be amputated. She zooms around and the missing leg doesn't slow her down. She can climb like a cat and run like a rabbit!!! She runs up and down steep stairs with no problem. But her favorite thing to do is to sit in your lap with you rubbing her belly. She is a real lap dog and would be fine for a retiree. Heidi is waiting to spend many fun and happy times with people that will want and will love her.
She is indifferent with other dogs but more comfortable with dogs smaller than herself. She would do well as an only dog and the queen of the house. She is both house trained and crate trained. She is very quiet and could easily be an apartment or condo dog. She is a whimsical little dog who will own your heart in a very big way. If Heidi needs correcting, all it takes is the mention of her name and all is made right. She is a most affectionate companion. She's in a foster home so apply for a private appointment.
