About Heidi

Say "hi!" to Heidi! This sweet Hound mix is about 6 years old and weighs 32 pounds. Found as a stray in Tennessee, she’s now poised to find a loving family in New England. Although she may not play much, Heidi enjoys the company of other dogs and would prefer a calm home where she can relax without the chaos of loud noises like thunder or fireworks. Heidi is a gentle soul who registers her greetings with a mix of sweetness and a bit of shyness. Her ideal environment would be a quiet retirement-type home. She does well with other dogs but prefers to keep her toys and belongings to herself. While she walks on a leash, she’s not the biggest fan of it. Instead, she dreams of being carried around for a good old piggyback ride. Adjusting to a new home will take some patience, especially when it comes to potty training, but she’s eager to give and receive love in return. Heidi is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations.
