Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Are you looking to add some zest to your life? Look no further! Heidi is a 6 year old Australian Shepherd mix, approximately 35 pounds, who is full of goofy antics and loves playing with her person, toys, other dogs, everything! Heidi was neglected and so she had to be shaved (sometimes you need a fresh start), but she IS a long hair dog and will need proper care when her coat grows out. Her right ear will probably remain hairless, but that just adds to her character. She is currently in a foster home with other dogs and cats and does just fine. A home with a dog that enjoys having a companion would be great as she LOVES her doggy friends! She is hesitant around men at first, but once she gets to know them they can be friends. She is house trained and crate trained and can be left at home alone with no problem! Heidi likes to go on walks, sit on the couch and watch tv, and bring you stuffed animals to play tug.
We recommend and encourage you to complete an application at http://henricohumane.org/adopt/application-for-dogs/ before coming to our next adoption event. To find out if I will be attending our next adoption event, please email dogs@henricohumane.org.
Adoption events are every Saturday, excluding holidays, at the Petco located at 11331 W. Broad Street, Glen Allen, VA (next to Trader Joe’s) from 11:00am to 2:00pm.
