About Althea KF

Meet Althea "Allie" and her companion Gracie — a bonded pair with a heartwarming story. These two lovely girls were abandoned at a Texas trailer park alongside two puppies but found solace in each other's company. Now, they’re searching for a forever home where they can stay together. Allie, the more energetic of the duo, is an approximately 3–4-year-old Blue Heeler. She’s smart, affectionate, and approaches every day with enthusiasm, eager for adventures like walks, hikes, or even just lounging with her people. If you sit down, don't be surprised if she nudges in for hugs or belly rubs, reminding you just how loving she can be. Gracie, on the other hand, provides a calm presence. At about the same age, she’s gentle and enjoys simply being close to her humans. Whether it’s a quiet evening together or a leisurely walk, Gracie thrives on companionship. Together, they create a delightful balance: Allie brings the joyful energy, while Gracie adds tranquility. Both girls are healthy, fully vetted, altered, and house-trained. They thrive on each other's support and should be adopted as a pair. If you’re ready for double the love and companionship, Allie and Gracie might be just the duo you've been waiting for. The local adoption fee for both is $450, while out-of-state adoption is $650, which includes transport to your area. Start the adventure of a lifetime with these two sweet girls!
