Story
Meet Heidi – A Clever Companion Looking for Her Person
Born on March 30, 2023, Heidi is a smart, thoughtful girl who’s looking for her person - the one she can bond with deeply and explore the world beside. She may be a little reserved at first, but once she knows she’s safe, her loyal and affectionate side shines through. Heidi is highly intelligent and picks up on routines quickly. She thrives in a home with structure, consistency, and someone who enjoys engaging her mind as much as her heart. She’s playful and funny once she’s comfortable, and she loves having a purpose - whether it’s adventuring outside, learning something new, or just being your steady shadow. Heidi can be a bit cautious with new people or environments, so she’ll need an adopter who can be patient during that initial adjustment period. But for the right person, Heidi is the kind of dog who becomes deeply devoted. Her ideal home includes an active adopter who enjoys walks, hikes, and quality one-on-one time. She may prefer being the only dog or matched with a calm, respectful canine companion. With the right fit, Heidi will absolutely blossom.
If you're looking for a loyal, clever, and heart-forward companion who just needs a little time to trust, Heidi might be your perfect match.
At Path of Hope Rescue, we understand that “Fur-st Impressions” are very important! To see if Heidi would be the perfect fit for you and your family, schedule a meet and greet before applying by emailing us at Fur-stImpressions@pathofhoperescue.com. (A completed Adoption Application will be required after the meet and greet to move forward with Heidi’s adoption.)
What is Path of Hope Rescue’s Adoption Process?
Our adoption process takes on average 7-10 days.
Begin by completing the online application. EVERY application receives an email response from us (check your spam folder!).
Your personal Matchmaker will contact you, help you find your perfect pup match, and guide you through the process.
Meet your potential pup at the home of the foster family (the process may differ slightly for long distance adopters).
Bring your potential pup home for a no commitment In Home Trial. In Home Trials are a minimum of (2) nights for a puppy and one week for an adult. Your Matchmaker will check in with you during this time.
Sign the adoption paperwork and adopt your new family member!
Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue
Our adoption process sets us apart. We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process.
Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs a year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course.
Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.
About Path of Hope Rescue
At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes.
We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment.
Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
