Story
Heidi is a petite, very sweet, 1 year old (born Jan 2023), tri-pod Rat/Wirehaired Terrier that has "never met a stranger." Also, if you think think losing a leg has slowed her down in anyway, it hasn't. Not 1 bit. Her foster family's love and care was instrumental in her recovery.. Foster Mom said she was up and walking/running with 1-2 days of surgery, like nothing had happened. Heidi loves playing with dogs both big and small, running, exploring and getting all the attention she can get. She loves cats; maybe a bit too much. She will follow them all around and tries to nuzzle them. Most cats do not appreciate that. Heidi loves children but is best with those over five. She may be too rambunctious for little tots. She is already crate trained and almost completely housetrained! Heidi does get distracted when outside on walks, so potty breaks are best in a backyard away from distractions. A fenced in yard is ideal. If you are wanting a wonderful family dog, look no further; Heidi is the complete package. Did I mention she is adorable? You'll fall in love with this sweet face and those ears :):).To adopt this pet, please go to hsnwga.org, 'Adoption' then 'Application for Adoption', to complete an online application to be preapproved. Due to the high volume of applications received, our Adoption Coordinator will only contact the applicant that best meets the needs of the pet.
