Meet Heidi! Heidi weighs 13 lbs, is fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Heidi tested positive for heartworms but has successfully completed treatment and is now on the road to recovery. Heartworm disease is serious but preventable, which is why it’s so important for dogs to stay on consistent monthly heartworm prevention and receive annual testing. These simple steps help ensure early detection and protect against future infection, keeping dogs like Heidi happy and healthy for years to come.
If you're looking for a little lady with a big heart, Heidi is here to steal the show (and maybe a sock or two!) This adorable dachshund mix is as sweet as they come. Heidi is gentle, loving, and the kind of dog who will have you wrapped around her tiny little paw before you even know what happened. She lives for morning cuddles, belly scratches, and the occasional squirrel chase. But don't let her sweetness fool you, Heidi has layers! She'll be calm and cuddly one moment, then suddenly transform into a silly, playful goofball the next. She's still perfecting her house training. She has occasional accidents but she's making great progress! Heidi just loves your company so much that she'd rather you stay outside with her during potty time than go it alone. She's a true Velcro dog who wants to be by your side every step of the way. ** Heidi is currently learning to use pee pads and making good progress. With continued consistency and patience, she will keep improving her potty habits. **
Life with Heidi is never boring, and her random bursts of energy will have you laughing every single day. Heidi is wonderfully well-behaved and eager to please. Tell her "no" and she drops whatever she's got, no attitude, no argument. Just make sure she has a good stash of toys to keep those busy little jaws happy! Heidi is a little shy when she first meets other dogs. She might give a small grumble that says "hey, I don't know you yet!", but she warms up quickly and has already proven she can live harmoniously with small and large dog siblings.
What Heidi is looking for in her forever home: Belly scratch enthusiasts Plenty of toys (she has standards) A cozy spot on the couch for morning snuggles Patient humans who'll let her take her time with new doggy friends Heidi isn't just looking for a home. She's looking for her home. Could that be yours?
Heidi is being fostered in Harlingen, TX but can be transported outside the state of Texas for an approved adopter. Her adoption fee of $400 covers transport cost.
