Heidi - Staying With Owner

Name: Heidi

Sex: Female (altered)        
Breed: Wheaten Terrier Mix
Age: Approximately 10 years
Location: Palm Bay, Florida

Vet/Medical Info: Heidi is spayed and utd on rabies and distemper, three year distemper and rabies vaccine was given on 2/27/10, so is not due until 2/27/13.  She is diabetic and has diabetic cataracts, but no other health issues noted.  Currently gets 5 units of insulin 2x/day.  She has not been hw tested in the past several years.

Owner Info: Heidi is an indoor dog with the run of the house, she is housebroken, leash trained, and knows sit, speak, give me your paw, up, lay down, and come here.  She is outgoing and gets along well with people of all ages, cats, dogs, and other small animals.  At one time she resided with 4 cats and a bird.  When cats were newborn, Heidi adopted them as her own babies - she loves them.  Loves everyone and everything.  When company comes to the door she thinks they are her company, very happy around people - they can't believe she's blind.  She would be able to see if she had surgery but we can't afford it.  Heidi has diabetes and gets insulin shots twice a day, other than that she is very healthy.  Heidi is the sweetest dog I've ever been around.  My husband and I plan to travel and we cannot find anyone to care for this special needs dog.  The only resort is to "put her down.”  I don't have pictures of her on computer but Heidi is mostly Wheaten Terrier....she looks like the dog on Beneful Dog Food bags.
