About Althea KF

Meet Althea, affectionately known as Allie, and her best friend Gracie. This bonded pair found themselves in a tough situation, abandoned together in a Texas trailer park with two young puppies. Now, they are on the lookout for a forever home where they can remain together. Allie is a vibrant 3-4 year old Blue Heeler, full of energy and affection. She believes every day holds possibility and is always eager to join in on adventures—whether it’s a walk, a hike, or simply basking in your company. This girl is a hugger, always ready for some love and belly rubs. On the other hand, Gracie, also around 3-4 years old, brings a sense of calm to the duo. She is gentle and enjoys being close to her people, finding joy in quiet evenings or snuggles on the couch. Together, they create a beautiful balance—Allie infuses excitement into their lives while Gracie offers sweetness and tranquility. They’ve both been fully vetted and are ready for a new chapter filled with love, security, and companionship. This pair does not do well apart; they thrive together. If you are looking for double the love and joy, Allie and Gracie may be the perfect fit for you. Local adoption fee together is $450 (in TX), and out-of-state adoption fee together is $650, which includes transport. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
