About Heidi

Heidi is an adorable Border Collie and Pittie mix puppy who’s already come a long way. She started life at just 4 pounds and now tips the scale at 20 pounds, brimming with puppy energy during play but impressively mellow when indoors. Heidi’s story started rough—rescued after ingesting illegal substances and sold for a mere $10, she’s shown resilience most pups never have to. Now about four months old, she’s looking for an active family who can provide the care, fun, and fenced yard she deserves so she can play safely and learn what a real home feels like. She does well with other dogs and would thrive in a setting where she gets affection and structure. Heidi has so much potential to be someone’s best friend and family companion. Your support could make all the difference for her future. Click apply to start the adoption process.
