Heidi is a delightful little character who came to us from a breeder and has been steadily revealing a personality far bigger than her size. While she was initially very shy around people and would often run away when someone entered her kennel, Heidi has been gaining confidence at her own pace and letting her true nature shine through.

Heidi absolutely adores the company of other dogs and takes great comfort from her canine friends. She gets on wonderfully with them and would love to live with a kind, confident resident dog who enjoys snuggling and can continue to help guide her through home life. Heidi does prefer to have her own space at mealtimes, as she isn’t keen on sharing her food, so a home that can manage this easily would suit her best.

Despite her shy beginnings, Heidi has shown us just how special she is. She has a wonderful, sassy side, her character really is the size of the Eiffel Tower, balanced perfectly with a sweet and gentle nature. She has recently discovered that bum scratches are quite possibly the best thing in the world, and watching her relax and enjoy this affection has been a joy to see.

As Heidi has never lived in a home before, she will need patient and understanding adopters who can help her learn house training and walking on a lead. A calm, adult-only home where life is quiet and predictable will allow Heidi to continue building her confidence without feeling overwhelmed. Gentle introductions to the outside world, starting with quiet garden time and short, calm adventures, will help her settle and feel safe.

Heidi arrived with skin issues, which she is receiving treatment for, and she was in very poor condition and extremely thin. With the right care, a hearty diet, and plenty of love (and treats!), she is already on the right path and will continue to thrive in a home environment.

Heidi is truly one of a kind, a little dog with sass, sweetness, and so much love to give. Her forever home will be incredibly lucky to welcome such a special girl into their lives.
