About Althea KF

Meet Althea "Allie" and Gracie, two bonded girls who have weathered tough times together. Abandoned at a Texas trailer park along with two puppies, they now seek a loving forever home where they can remain side by side. Allie, a spirited 3–4-year-old Blue Heeler, embodies joy and energy. She's smart, affectionate, and believes every day is an adventure waiting to unfold. From walks and hikes to road trips, Allie wants in on all the fun. When you sit down, expect her to shower you with hugs and belly rubs—a true testament to her big heart. On the other hand, Gracie is the calm anchor of this duo. Also around 3–4 years old, she's a gentle, mild-mannered soul who relishes simply being by your side. Whether it’s a relaxing couch day or a quiet evening, Gracie finds happiness in togetherness. They complement each other perfectly, with Allie's enthusiasm balancing Gracie's tranquility. They’ve faced hardship but have emerged healthy and ready for a brighter chapter. Both are fully vetted, house trained, and looking for a home where they can share their lives and love with you. They thrive in situations with dogs and are also great with kids. If you’re searching for double the companionship and love, Allie and Gracie are waiting for their forever home with you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
