About Heidi
Heidi is currently fostered in St. Louis, Missouri and is a delightful 4-year-old female German Shepherd Dog. Weighing around 60 pounds, she has spent the last three years in an outdoor kennel, lacking human interaction. Now, she is thriving in her foster home, showing her true love for people and quickly adapting to her new environment. Since arriving in foster care, Heidi has been learning a variety of skills. She's mastering leash manners and house etiquette. While she has been a bit rough with cats, she’s currently in a home with other dogs and some savvy cats. On walks, her strong pull can be a challenge due to distractions like birds and squirrels, which she responds well to with a firm correction. Heidi enjoys playing with toys and has a goofy side, even if fetch is still a new concept for her. She thrives on praise instead of treats, so consistent positive reinforcement is key. She also requires an active family who can devote 1-2 hours for her daily mental and physical stimulation. Ideal homes for Heidi are those with dog-savvy cats, a submissive dog if another is present, and children over 12 years old. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and house trained, eagerly signaling when she needs to go outside. To meet her, an approved application is necessary. Heidi is ready for her forever home where she can continue to flourish with love and care. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
