About Althea KF

Meet Althea "Allie" and Gracie — a bonded pair of Blue Heelers looking for a forever home together. These sweet girls were abandoned at a Texas trailer park, and their enduring friendship has seen them through tough times, proving they are meant to stay together. Allie, the more energetic of the duo, is about 3–4 years old and embodies the spirit of adventure. She’s affectionate, smart, and eager to participate in every activity, whether it’s hiking, road tripping, or just lounging with her people. Expect plenty of hugs, kisses, and belly rubs when you sit down, as Allie can't resist showing her love. Gracie, also around 3–4 years old, is the calm presence in their relationship. With her gentle nature, she enjoys the simple things—relaxing on the couch and long walks. Together, Allie’s zest and Gracie’s sweet demeanor create a wonderful balance in the home. These girls don’t just need a place to stay; they need a lifelong family that truly values their bond. They are both healthy, fully vetted, and house trained. If you are ready for double the love and companionship, Althea and Gracie are waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
