Story
This beautiful girl has the kind of personality that makes you smile every day. Heidi is affectionate, playful and wonderfully friendly, and she absolutely LOVES having other dogs to romp and play with. Outside is her happy place - she pounces on bugs, chases squirrels, explores her surroundings and is always ready to join her people for the next adventure. But when playtime is over, Heidi settles nicely into the home.
Heidi is completely house trained, crate trained, quiet and easy to handle. Her soft, gorgeous coat is surprisingly easy to maintain with regular brushing. Heidi would love a family with a fenced yard where she can run, play and simply be the happy, carefree dog she was meant to be. If you're looking for a sweet, playful companion with a BIG heart and an even bigger personality, Heidi may be your girl!
