About Heidi
Introducing Heidi, a lovely German Shepherd with a gentle spirit and a heart full of potential. Heidi is the perfect match for individuals with experience in shepherds, as her unique needs require a touch of understanding and patience. She thrives in the serenity of a quiet, calm, and respectful environment, where she can gradually warm up and showcase her affectionate nature.
Heidi is a calm, respectful dog who likes to keep busy with activities since she is curious and very food motivated. Once she's confident, her sweet personality shines. She's incredibly people-focused, showing much affection once a trusting bond has been established. Her love for cuddling on the couch will make her a delightful companion for those cozy nights in, while her trained toilet habits make her an easy fit for a full-time worker's home.
Heidi is a multi-dog home expert but would prefer a canine sibling willing to respect her personal space. However, she needs six-foot fencing and a secured yard due to her climbing and digging tendencies, making a securely fenced backyard a must. Her highly trainable nature and affinity for food make her an active participant in training sessions, where she eagerly learns new things.
Medical notes
Came to the shelter underweight. New owner will need a good understanding of weight management and nutrition for her needs.
Adoption details
We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
