Heidi's Story
Meet Heidi<br/>Approx. 3 years old | Lab Mix | Searching for Safety and Love<br/><br/>Heidi's story is one that breaks your heart before it mends it. She was dumped on a rural back road like trash alongside seven other family members of varying ages. No warmth, no explanation, no familiar face -- just confusion and fear. It is clear these dogs were neglected, used, and forgotten by the very people who should have cared for them.<br/><br/>But that is where their story begins to change.<br/><br/>When Heidi first arrived, she was unsure of every move, every sound, every hand reaching in her direction. The world had only shown her cruelty. But with time, patience, and gentle handling, she has learned that people don't always hurt you. Now, she has grown deeply attached to the kennel techs who work with her each day -- and the feeling is mutual. Her and her family have become fast staff favorites. It's impossible not to fall in love with souls like theirs... dogs who have been given nothing but would give everything for a safe hand and a quiet home.<br/><br/>Heidi is learning that:<br/>* Leashes mean adventure, not fear.<br/>* Food will come every single day.<br/>* Warmth is promised.<br/>* Love is real.<br/><br/>She is gentle, soft-hearted, and incredibly deserving. Once she trusts you, her love is the kind that sinks in deep and stays forever.<br/><br/>Heidi is now available for adoption, and we are dedicated to finding her a family who will never let her feel discarded or unseen again. She will make someone a phenomenal companion -- loyal, grateful, and devoted in a way only a once-broken heart can be.Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00. The adoption fee may be higher or lower than stated however, and is dependent on many factors including age, behavior, medical condition and demand. All dogs 7 years and older are free under our Saving Seniors program. We frequently run discount specials and occasionally a dog will be more than the stated fee.<br/><br/>Most cats and kittens are $35.00, however there may be instances in which the fee is higher or lower, due to age, behavior, medical condition or demand. With felines, we always have an "Adopt one, bring another one home for free" adoption special!
