About Heidi

Heidi is a striking husky, malamute, and shepherd mix with mesmerizing gemstone blue eyes. Her soft, lush coat features a beautiful blend of grey and white, making her a real eye-catcher. Heidi's intelligence shines through, as she listens well to commands and is eager to please her family. She's naturally protective, always alert for any potential intruders, which makes her a keen security companion. She enjoys walks and loves being petted. Heidi gets along well with children and other dogs, even taking on a nurturing role with puppies. Currently, she shares her space with four other adult dogs. Though she can be timid with new people due to her limited past experiences, she's gradually building her confidence and trust. Heidi does well in relaxed environments like coffee shops, but she still needs gentle introductions to unfamiliar faces. While she may be good with dogs and kids, she has a strong instinct to chase smaller animals, which means cats might not be the best match for her. Heidi is currently fostered in Studio City, CA, but transportation to Washington or Oregon might be possible. What better time to welcome such a loving companion?
