Story
Age: 7 yearsWeight: 97 lbsAdoption Fee: $150About Me: Hi my name is Heidi! I am a goofy, sweet, and cuddly girl. I love playing with toys, playing with other dogs, and spending time getting attention from my people. When I am with my people I enjoy cuddling or showing off my toys. I enjoy fetch so much that I could play it all day long! I was surrendered to the shelter with my friend Aryah. I would love to be adopted together. But alas, we have been here for so long we will settle for separate homes as the shelter life is stressful and we deserve couches and 24/7 love. Want to be my new family?Interested in adopting?
