Heidi is so cute, with a striking tri color coat and an alert, engaging expression. She arrived at Cobb Animal Services on August 25th after her previous owner, who is dealing with health issues, was no longer able to care for her. At 7 months old, Heidi still has quite a bit of growing ahead of her before reaching her estimated adult weight of 60 to 70 pounds.

Heidi is a smart girl who knows sit, stay, shake, and down, showing off an impressive level of training for such a young pup. Her previous owner noted that she was good with dogs, cats, and kids, and that she was making great progress on her potty training, with just a little more consistency needed to fully master it.

At 7 months old, Heidi has so much of her puppyhood still ahead of her, along with plenty of intelligence, sweetness, and potential to offer the right family.

Heidi is waiting in Kennel #856 with that striking tri color coat and smart, sweet personality, ready for the home and the family who will give her the loving future she deserves.
