About Heather

Meet Heather! This sweet, two-year-old female Chihuahua mix is looking for a home where she can truly shine. Though shy at first, Heather is a loving soul who craves attention but isn’t quite sure how to ask for it yet. She came to rescue as part of a larger group of dogs needing help, and she stands out for her gentle personality and quiet demeanor. Heather thrives in environments with less competition for attention, so she may do best as an only dog or with just one other dog. She's already house trained and knows how to use a dog door, making her a great fit for both homes and apartments. While she won’t demand attention aggressively, Heather requires a patient adopter who can offer encouragement and a little time to build her confidence. This little girl is sweet and smart, eager to discover her potential. One-on-one time will help her show you the wonderful companion she has inside. Remember, adopting a pet is a commitment for their lifetime, possibly up to 15 years or more. Make sure you're ready to provide her with the love, training, and socialization she needs. Given that adorable small dogs like Heather tend to be adopted quickly, interested adopters should apply as soon as possible! 9f83fb496
