My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Heidi
Heidi is a beautiful young 65 pound female Rottweiler, approximately 10 months old. She's still very much a puppy at heart, just in an almost full-grown body. Like many young dogs, new situations can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but once Heidi knows she's safe, her true personality shines through.

The shelter environment was understandably scary for her in the beginning, but after a few days of reassurance and routine, Heidi completely turned a corner. She has shown herself to be a sweet, fun, and affectionate dog who is ready to bond deeply with her people.

Training & Support
Heidi would benefit from a home that's excited to continue her puppy education. She's at the perfect age to learn and grow, and she's already showing great potential. She'll need to work on:
-Basic manners and confidence-building
-House breaking (possibly)
With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, Heidi is going to blossom into a wonderful adult dog.

Ideal Home
Heidi is looking for a home that understands she's still young and learning about the world. A family willing to guide her through new experiences will be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion.
A home with another friendly dog could be a great match for her, or an adopter that understands she may need support learning to be alone.

An adopter ready for adventures, training, and fun will be perfect for Heidi.
We anticipate Heidi will enjoy all kinds of activities — walks, outings, learning new skills, and simply being part of a loving family.

More about this shelter

Want to adopt a pet and give them a forever home? We're thrilled! Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.

We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?

We also adopt out small animals including rabbits, hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
